Welcome to the forum!
Congrats on your car.
Chris (scc24540) and Chad (couch) will probably have some great ideas for your 5th generation Monte.

Hi `Matt from Califorina, and welcome to the MCF.
You found a super low miled Monte Carlo for sure.
Please post some pictures, and tell us all about it.
Was it a one owner, before you got it ?
Look forward to your future posts, and pictures.
Wish you good luck with your new `ride.

thanks for all the support guys. Well i do not have any pictures for it yet, but i was just going to do the normal. Some intake, and maybe exhaust, and a few other little things. The car was purchased off one older gal, who's husband past away, and they only used the car going to jackson rancheria. (a local indian casino). One owner, took excellent care of the vehicle. Well good to hear from you all. Thanks.

It's the 3100 LS, not the Z34 unfortunately. BUt the engine runs great. I have been used to driving a 2.0L Mercury Mystique, although i fixed it up quite a bit, the Monte Carlo has plenty more power.

I had the 3100 engine in my '91 Z24. Good engine. Installed really good plugs, performance wires, K&N air intake, 2-3/4 inch exhaust front to back with a high flow cat. Sounded awesome and performed great! Didn't have any major engine issues either. It was very reliable.
