Whats going on people?

Lets see, I have a 1985 monte carlo SS that my mom bought brand spanking new back in the day. When I turned 18 she handed it over to me and I've had it ever since (10 years now). I am currently restoring it with my wife and we are still trying to figure out what motor to put into it, exhaust, etc. I'm hoping here I can get some good ideas/feedback to help me get this baby looking and driving good.

take care

welcome to the forum how about some pics of your 4th gen

Actually I don't have any pic's of it right now.. But I'll see what I can do about that.. its sitting on jack stands for a few days now. I've been putting all new rubber under the car when i get free time.

which free time is hard to get these days... :)

Welcome to the forum man.

Welcome to the MCF family.
As for the engine, there's no replacement for displacement. Go for a bored n stroked big block! Got a friend that built a 596 from a 454. On the other hand, the new LS small blocks crank out more power than ANY old small block EVER put out stock. LS2s are plentiful and powerful. Good start.

welcom aboard bro and ya it will be fun to bring her bk to life :)

you really wanna bring her back to life....go SBC or go home!
