Subject: Re: 2nd Trip to the Track by 88BlackZ51 on 2008/12/20 15:29:48 Thank you very much for those pictures! What crate motor do you have? And what are the specs on it if you don't mind, meaning heads/cam/intake/compression ratio. The SS has a mild 350 in it with TFS heads, flat tappet cam (224/228 .480 lift),edelbrock rpm intake, and holley carb. It's running around 300chp, and the torque is a tad higher then that. I picked out this combo a few years back, and I wish I went a little higher on the lift, but live and learn. I would like to put in a 383 in the next 2 years. I am waiting to see how my AFR's perform on my 421, and if they perform as expected, I would like to build a 383 for the Monte with a set of AFR's on top with a roller block in the area of 375-425 chp, and have great driveability of course. I would also like to change out the stock 3.73's, and replace them with a 3.23 or a 3.08 gear. I find the 3.73's are terrible on gas, and the extra cubes won't need the gear. Obviously when the car was stock, the HO 305 needed a gear, but it's not stock anymore. Hope to hear back from you. Here is a picture of the SS. It has only been driving maybe 2000 miles in the last 4 years, but I love the body style, and it will never be sold. Also in regards to the rims. Did you have to do any modification for the rims to fit? Are they 275's? I might add they look really good! I have always wondered how the rims on my vette would look on the SS! I am not sure if I should keep the outside looking stock or not. Here are a few pics. The one's with the SS is parked in my driveway at my old house. And how do you think my rims would look on the SS? Take care!
