It sounds like someone has already worked on that Monte then because it has a 350 in it (85's only had 305's for their v8's). Otherwise, I'm not really sure about what you would do to it, as I'm more familiar to fwd Monte's. But, good luck and I hope it works out for you.

these cars are sound from the top down. the only weak point is that the frame tends to rot quick from the rear wheelwells back. floorboards as well.
