Hello
My name is Dean, I'm a tech for Konica Minolta down in south Florida.. On my off time I enjoy fishing, scuba diving and a occasional project. So here the project. I bought an 04 supercharge SS Monty Carlo Dale Jr. She has a slight issue. theirs a hole in the oil pan with parts hanging out of it. lol.. I'm looking to build an engine and swap out the bad and install the good,
Thanks Dean

I'd salvage whatever I could from the blown plant.
Get a used runner and build something real good for myself.

If you got parts hanging-out from a hole in the pan, ... you're going to have to spend big-bucks on "Recovery expenses" before you begin buying goodies.

Welcome to Mcf! Just go buy a na 3800 and slap a used turbo kit on it. More HP then the average guy will ever need. Don't forget to build a trans to hold the added HP though
