Big block 83 Monte Carlo
Hello everyone. My name is Mike. I have a rust free 1983 Monte Carlo (not SS) with T-Tops and a v-6. I am going to be putting a Gen VI 454 cid big block in this car. I know I need to buy headers and coil springs. I am hoping you guys/gals with the wisdom on this can help me to find the right stuff I need to so this swap. I am going to be taking the intake off and putting a different intake on it to use a 4 barrel carb. Thanks in advance and If I put this in the wrong category, I am sorry; feel free to relocate it to the proper category mods.

The process is referred to as boxing the frame. There is a few different kits that you weld pieces to the frame between the front/rear tires that strengthen the frame from twisting. Considering you mentioned a t top roof I would suggest it if you're doing anything the that big block. Another thing that your going to need is a electric fuel pump because if I remember right they didn't finish drilling the block for a mechanical fuel pump. As for the 7.5 rear end sure it will hold up if you don't beat the snot out of it , I have one in mine and I'm pushing over 400 hp and drive normal. Good luck
