hey, welcome to the site, i hope you find what you're looking for

i believe the years you are looking for a 85, 86, and 87

you might be able to find one thats got a 350 in it already, that would be good

you could look into one of those years elcamino with the choo choo customs package on it, they're gorgeous and i believe they have all 350's in them

 

welcome, can't wait to hear about your project.

thanks guys.Im actually over by Daytona Beach.ive been checking mostly Ebay and some craigslist.better deals than auto trader.If memory serves me right.a 305 and 350 are the same block,just different bores right? and space rider,thank you for sening me that badass monte carlo.im sure the guy wants atleast 8-10 grand for it though.i wanna find a nice clean stock SS for no more than 3.will drive it around a while w/ original motor.and 100 shot,and work on suspension before swap motor

 

 

Welcome. Your going throught the same stuff i went through when looking for my monte. i wanted a Late 80's SS with a 350 crate already in it. with little rust and no body damage. It took me a Good 2 years to find the one for me. I wasnt looking weekly it was when ever i had time. but i finaly picked up my sexy lady recently for 3000 $ rust free crate 350 with a lot of extras i installed in it all ready. i looked every where when i did look. craigslist, cars.com autotrader. you name it. Your best bet is to look right before summer cause people are trying to sell their older cars right before summer hits so they can enjoy em. well good luck with your hunt and if you have any question pertaining what to look for feel free to ask. i been through it all . i looked at maby no joke 50+ monte carlos before i got this one..lol

 

will do.i appreciate it.

 

i already asked this but didnt get a answer yet.is a 305 the same block as a 350? just different bore? I also found a silver 85 SS on ebay with that beautiful red interior.lol. on ebay not too far away and he has it at 2,900 w/ no bids.very clean.no rust.sent him a message for 2,000 cash in hand.will see what happens.
