My New Super Sport Muscle Car!!!

[@NobleHusky]

Things to do 1st (To my knowledge) - Clean the rust off the frame and coat it with anti corrosion paint so you don't have to worry about frame rust anymore. - Get the owner's manual - Clean the engine so you can see the wear condition of the parts. (Yours looks like it should be fine unless you push it. Which you did do...) - Find out the the type of engine you already have installed, and work on improving that seeing it works just fine. - Install a more modern, yet classy looking radio/CD/mp3 player with surround sound. This will mean getting sound deadeners for the car unless you want a super charger interrupting the music. - Oh! New exhaust system!

[@storm3016]

Fudge the radio, how can a super charger interfere with anything? Vroom vroom :P I would upgrade the suspension to something a little more modern & make it shinny and black and do the striping in gold. It's not going to be much of a sleeper with that hood anyways so you might as well bling it up a bit.

[@exessivemite9478]

he means the sound, it would be louder than the radio

[@storm3016]

Yeah, I get that, nothing wrong with that :)

[@exessivemite9478]

honestly, id rather hear the supercharger whine than listen to the radio

[@larryjohnson150]

NobleHusky yeah, definitely coat the frame with that rubberized undercoating they sell at auto stores, stuff works great and with a couple of coatings it’s tough as hell!

[@PapaBear2225]

Matt I think you bought yourself a re-badged standard Monte Carlo. The 70 SS didn’t come with a 350. It came standard with the 454 LS5... and it didn’t come with front or front side SS badging. It’s a bad ass car. But it’s a standard Monte Carlo my friend. The most sporty and powerful option was the Monte Carlo SS 454 package. Priced at $420, it included a standard Turbo-Jet 454 of 454 CID (7.4 L) with a four-barrel carburetor, rated at 360 hp (269 kW)[5] at 4800 rpm. It also included heavy-duty suspension, wider tires, "SS 454" badging, and an automatic load-leveling rear suspension. The Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic was the only transmission available for this package. The rear axle came standard with a 3.06 ratio but was available in 2.56 and 3.31, although it still cost $222 (£142) extra. Weighing only a bit more than a comparably equipped Chevelle SS 454, the Monte Carlo SS was quite a fast car, although it accounted for less than 3% of Monte Carlos sold in 1970.

[@lmclean22]

Nick Senesac - Exactly! Then they put a Chevelle paint job on it! Good research!

[@Ricossmft28]

Also I don't think that it's stroked out either when he got on it, it sounded like an absolute dog

[@lmclean22]

Should not have blown a gasket! That took me by surprise. But he did want a fixer-upper. I hope he likes it.

[@gavinguier3445]

Lol LS didn’t come out till the 90s so you are full of shit

[@lmclean22]

Gavin Guier - please do your research before you start acting like you know it all ...The 1970 versions of the Chevrolet 454 were the most powerful, with the LS5 putting out around 360 horsepower and the LS6 delivering about 450 horses. The LS6 was phased out after 1971, and the LS5's power had dwindled to about 245 horsepower by 1973 thanks to stricter emissions control.

[@melwalshmtb9121]

New engine,454? Nicer,bigger, wheels. Recaro seats. Re do back seat to match the bucket seats. Steel exuast by magnaflow. Hotchkiss suspension or air suspension. Tuck in bumpers a small bit. Keep the paint as is. L.E.D LIGHTS. New transmition too. Re colour the headliner and match the rest of the interior with the Recero buckets. New tires that tie in the wheels and get the power down. Oh ya Matt,keep up the good work:)

[@jordankraft5089]

Mel Walsh naw man bigger like a 572... lol

[@JavaRatusso]

My 2nd car at 17 was a '70 Monte Carlo..... Maroon w/ black vinyl top, 350, Black Jack Headers, Automatic w/Trans-Go shift kit built by Billy Coins of Arlington Texas, Had to replace the Rear end after power dropping that console shift one too many times... Lol I put in a little tighter Posi track which accelerated fast and was still fair on gas. Fenton Slot mags with 70' all around. It was by far my favorite car I have ever owned. Thanks for your video... It brought back good memories! Enjoy your new ride.

[@Eleanor1069]

Matt. You need to get in touch with Texas Speed and Performance here in Georgetown. They specialize GM stuff and considering the exposure they would get from you I think they’d be willing to work something out. They provided the 1200hp capable 427 for Leroy so I think they could get you in the 600hp range naturally aspirated.

[@Bezgels]

Eleanor217 damn

[@redstickrobb624]

Yep never mind what i said. Do what this guy said. Also Turbo/Twin Turbo is still on the table.

[@scottwashington3587]

You think 600hp N/A with a small block?

[@texaswildcat2000]

1500 horse for Leroy now...they specialize in LS engines and can build anything you want...either the Dallas or Austin area factory will work, but I know everything I've seen so far has been out of Dallas, the original office...but, I agree, he definitely needs to order a new engine from them....

[@RIPPER334]

70 SS is a VERY rare bird... less than 4k were sold... And it would have had the 454... I can't imagine anyone downgrading... Even to a stroker. I think you've got a re-badged car.

[@izaaz_h]

RIPPER334 someone probably robbed the motor for something else

[@tw0pers0nalities]

The 454 was an option so not all of them had that motor.

[@kevinochoa1302]

RIPPER334 my dad and I got a maroon 70 Monte Carlo

[@draggerlane04090]

Yes they did the Monte Carlo SS in 70 only came with an LS5 454. I own one. It was my father's car. I got it when he past away and I restored it. I have done my research in doing so and kept the car like it was coming off the show room floor. The SS's only had a 454 trust me when I say this

[@TheRedNeckConnection]

The engine may have given up the ghost.

[@jerrykr7kz]

Matt, if you want that good BLUM BLUM BLUM sound, invest in a 3/4 cam. However, if you want a killer sound, with a very deep BLUM BLUM BLUM sound, invest in a FULL RACE roller cam, racing popup pistons, 2 1/2 to 4 inch High-Rise manifold, 2x four barrel carburetor running a minimum of 1350 cfs. Change out the rear-end to positraction at least a 400+ gear ratio. This will probably put you near 120 mph in the quarter mile. Leave the front wheels along, they're old school look. Your Dad will love it. So will the cops in your area. Run traction bars on the axles, 3 to 4 inch Dual Exhaust.

[@isaacsprenger9940]

Jerry Bustin yeah!

[@tylerk3762]

Perfect

[@lordchanka8386]

Add a supercharger if you can and dual exhaust out the back

[@julianw.9065]

The monte carlo should be named : Carlos

[@mustangmarty8491]

Hey brother, it looks like a nice car, but SS Monte Carlo's came with a 454, & usually with buckets console shift. Now in the 70's u could order them with almost any configurations. But it doesn't matter it's a Sharp car & good luck with it. I just didn't know if the guy lied to you that's all.

[@thistledownwoodcraft3426]

Not a real SS, sorry, I worked for chevy then and this guy is correct.

[@jordandeaton8281]

@Matthew Stone ss 396 is for a completely different car the real ss Monte carlos only came with the 454

[@SLOW76_C10]

Heads, Cam, intake, Carb, long tube headers.....just don't tell Mere

[@duelmaster012002]

ncorral85 I agree with this.

[@morthomer5804]

Twin turbo

[@commonnerfer]

Mort Homer don’t turbo a stroked engine that’s going to kill it you can already tell it’s having issues from when he blew a gasket just by flooring it

[@wilsonrey9881]

If you blew out a valve cover gasket just from getting on it. Check pcv, sounds like crank case pressure it getting to high

[@The_Osprey]

Or lots of blowby from engine wear.

[@SadistikGraffix916]

Being a paint/body man,my suggestion is to leave the body alone and pray that the respray and filler holds out. That might be an expensive can of worms you want to avoid. I see a LOT of red flags on that front. FFR,if a seller has the car ready to be lifted,TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY! You aren't going to hurt his feelings and its going to give you your best chance to see what you normally wouldn't on first inspection. Brake pads,lines,rotors,drums? Sub frame/bushings? Driveshaft/UV's? Even if you're already waving a fistful of dollars at the guy,you can take the opportunity to make a mental note of things that might need attention down the line. From a buyers P.O.V.,you can also use this to your advantage. (I.E.) Say you see that the floor pans have been replaced,that's a dead giveaway that there's been other rust issues. Make a verbal point of it and consider knocking a few hundred from your offer.

[@x0xCRUSHERx0x]

Wisdom! If he doesn’t see this it’s unfortunate, but I will definitely put it in my pocket! 👍

[@coolgamer1813]

I personally would put a 454 big block engine and BFGOODRICH Radial T/A

[@glennstankevicius9895]

Tonnes of torque and no traction :D

[@burton8027]

Camshaft Part Number: 249-12-250-3 at jegs Intake manifold Part Number: 350-7501at jegs Carburetor Part Number: 350-1407 at jegs I believe this combination will add close to 100 horsepower (depending on what is on the car now) and come in well under $1000.

[@Robert-qw1zy]

Sorry to burst your bubble Matt, that's not an "SS". 1970 Monte Carlo SS, all were assembled with the LS5 version of the 454-cu.in. engine code CRN, as standard equipment, 10.25:1 compression, a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor and a performance hydraulic-lifter camshaft, producing 360hp and 500-lbs.ft. of torque. A Turbo Hydra-Matic 400, three-speed automatic transmission and 12 bolt posi rear differential.The visual identifier of the SS package was the "SS 454" emblem mounted within the rocker trim extension on the bottom of the front fender. So you got a re-badge base Monte Carlo. Ps. The right quarter panel must be replaced, it has like 10 pounds of body filler ready to pop. I've been dealing with car salesmen and scammers too long to know better. Good luck...

[@300webmag]

No Chevrolet cam factory with a 383. That's a 350 with a 400 size crank (I'm sure you know this). The engine could have been replaced. With that being said, you still might be correct whoever, the motor isn't enough to discount it.

[@Inspirationalai1]

Resale red gets them every time. That car is definitely a fifty footer ( looks best from fifty feet) good news is he can do what he likes to it without having to worry about its resale value.

[@hinatahyuga6999]

Robert damn, with all this information, you’d think that you restore these things for a living

[@jasonswift7098]

Matt is not the best at picking out cars to buy! should stick to being a Veterinarian.

[@xRamRacing]

Body filler isn't that bad

[@hg321]

454 Big Block!!!!

[@JayRowMay.]

hg321 agreed

[@edditata5483]

Lol. I said 454 big block then scrolled down a little and saw this. Lmao

[@blikstenmakvin6734]

If you can afford this; u should get the motor out, clean the engine bay, get rid of the rust, put a big block V8 in it and get a blower. I also think its more feeling of a muscle car when you have the manual transmission but its kinda hard to fix when you have automatic :/

[@IAMSCOTLANDFOREVER]

Hey brother, I've got a 70 Monte Carlo SS n it has a console shift n bucket seats with a 396. Ya need to check the vin, n see what it is. I believe you've got a emblem clone. Looks good

[@jgott1745]

IAMSCOTLANDFOREVER that’s what I was wondering about. I feel like it’s not the SS either, hopefully he didn’t get conned into spending a bunch extra on the SS part.

[@brennonharmon9548]

Exactly my thoughts

[@bear2747]

IAMSCOTLANDFOREVER doesnt seem to perform or sound like a true stroker motor either but that could just be needing a tune up.

[@Foo2u2001]

Yeah I owned a 70 SS Monte for 6 months. Bought it used in 78. Awesome car. Insurance for me (I was 18) back then was eating me alive. But it had Swivel Buckets, Console W/Horse shoe shifter. Black on Black. Big block ran good after installing a cam, dual exhaust, and a Holley.

[@webbdad1248]

Is it really a true SS? Did you run the VIN to verify? If it is, very low production numbers. May not be cost effective to start pulling apart the car. May be a candidate for a flip... If its not a real SS then do a resto mod. Swap in an LS power plant , upgrade to nice disc brakes all around , update suspension. More fun, safer. Big power capable out of the LS series of motors, lots of market support.

[@jeffeverett830]

What are ya thinking your telling us all something we don't already know...you moron!!

[@matthewmenno3160]

Take out some of the stalls form the barn and park all your cars in there on an angle

[@biggooddad]

I always wanted something like a Buick Grand National 3.8 Litre Turbocharged & Intercooled

[@urmother1998]

In 1970 the car originally came with a 454 if it were a true SS. The engine in this car looks like the one that is the base powertrain of that year. It's a sweet ride, however the only thing that makes it a Super sport is the big double SS on the grille.

[@governmentcalamari9785]

Ethan Thomas not true the could come with a 396 or a 400 there was a very low 454 number amount of cars not as low as the ls6 chevel

[@williampaddock5145]

454 built Internals, heads, cams, twin turbos, Corsa exhaust, racing seats, polished and ported heads

[@williampaddock5145]

lm Genisys that works too

[@thomasstripes9169]

William Paddock fuck yeah

[@sebastianurquidez7717]

Super charger over turbo chared

[@alphagaming9004]

William Paddock LSX twin turbo

[@alphagaming9004]

lm Genisys Twin turbos are better tbh, yes the the super charger is awesome off the line but big ol turbos have more overall hp top end torque and overall efficiency not to mention he said he wanted a sleeper and super chargers are huge

[@spencerpearson1321]

Put a four link in the rear, coil overs on all four corners, upgrade your rear dif to a locker. Add a new ‭‭Transmission and put any engine with a 500+ displacement number and forged parts. Finally, add any form of Forced induction. I would personally recommend twin turbo charging. While more complicated to hook up you could easily push 1200 hp. And don’t forget to upgrade your carb.

[@melwalshmtb9121]

spencer pearson Well you know your cars well you legend:)

[@deltavee2]

I had a sleeper - a 67 Camaro SS with a 350 that must have been built on a Wednesday. Muncie M-21, white vinyl over navy blue. Tweaked the timing a little, took the little jets out of the 4-barrel and put two big ones in, put a really strong spring in the distributor so no point bounce. Than I went out and hunted 383s with it. Total sleeper. Started in second and when the Dodge next to me pulled first to second he dropped back and I just kept rolling to about 60 in first, power shift to second and bye bye. Just for the record, my grown up daughter's ideal car is a 70 Chevelle 450 with a stick, posi and all that good stuff. Always loving your stuff, Matt. I know this is late but I subscribed earlier this evening.

[@MrBlondeElvis]

It is also pretty likely that the guy is mistaken and it’s just been bored out and it’s really a 355, not a 383. Either way, some aluminum heads and a bigger cam will wake that thing up real quick, and save a lot of weight too. Then get rid of that old quadrajet and get something bigger like a Holley 650 or something

[@steveholton4130]

Agree with all above except take up to at least an 850cfm or better still a 1050 dual pumper.

[@steveholton4130]

That's what we did to '65 389 Goat bac in the day and that thing weighed way more than a '70 Monti because, being a rag top, it had a weighted full frame.

[@landonfranklin1170]

steve holton More cfm doesn't mean more hp. A 1050 or even an 850 is plenty for a mild small block build.

[@JusttheEdge]

Tyler Cox most quadrajets are 750cfm. There spread bore so a little better on gas while cruising. People don't like them cause they don't know how to tune them. I'm with you though some AFR heads, cam, and 750 Holley it will rip.

[@landonfranklin1170]

Josh Crutchley I'd rather have a spread bore though. Im a ford guy haven't been around quadrajets much but they're not much different then a autolite 4100.

[@89ludeawakening1]

Do an LS swap with an aggressive cam, then supercharge it and you're good to go. Way more power than the ordinary muscle car but still pretty much sounds like one. Plus you'll have good reliability. And you'll definitely want to do brake upgrades.

[@austinclifford4511]

micah fuller or he can leave the bulletproof 383 and build that.... Parts are cheap and you can make them have crazy amounts of hp...

[@89ludeawakening1]

Austin Clifford Bulletproof? I've had one brake a rod, shatter the piston, scar the cylinder, and ruin the valves. I've seen one snap a cam and pretty much detonate and explode the head. Nothing is bulletproof. And do you realize how cheap parts are for an LS?

[@Cody_Lynn1]

Matt... That Monte Carlo would be a better sleeper if it had twin turbo's on it. As far as the color goes, my thoughts are either a Lt. Gray or blue with the stripes it has! Great car. Have fun with it!!! The car I want to build is a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu... Great era of muscle cars!!!!

[@TwoLsAndAJay]

TYLER GRANNIS I wanna do 1971 chevelle ss

[@Cody_Lynn1]

Jay Llanes my buddy had a 66 in high school. I always told myself that when I can I will build one!

[@FeArhsma21]

New four barrel Holley or Ettalbrock carburetor also put a shift kit in the tans, you can also put a k&n doughnut filter so you don't have to keep replacing the paper air filter. I am not sure you want to, but you could also put new Flowmaster or Magnaflow muffler's. That's what i would do. Make it run well and sound good and have some good power to boot!

[@ilichiregius2884]

Well..... it's definitely a sleeper alright lol. I think you mighta got duped, man, that doesn't look like an original SS. The Monte Carlo base package was equipped with a 350 small block, but the SS from that year was equipped with a 454 big block. But! Hell with it! Might as well throw a big block in there, and turbo the hell outta that car. Make it a real muscle car, eh?

[@Artuconisio]

[@jacklougheed120]

[@SierraGal]

Just a tip, or two, from someone who’s been around the block a few times. Many posts are describing a different MonteCarlo from this one. It does sound like the guy sold you a clone or a branding switch. One way to know if somethings got leaks is to take a mirror with you and look at the engine. This guy could have pulled the MonteCarlo into the garage on top of a drip pan, or newspapers, and then removed it before you came making it look like it doesn’t leak fluids. Just “getting on it” test driving it shouldn’t have blown a gasket and the guys reaction is classic. He’s not honest. Love the MonteCarlo. Loved the guy who owned one back in the 70’s and he was soooo cute. I have a soft spot in my heart for MonteCarlos.

[@peggooo]

[@4gauge10]

Power windows came out in the EARLY 1930's.My grandfather owned Packards and Cadillacs with V-12 engines in them(Packard 120 series/Cadillac series 75 Fleetwood) and these cars had hydraulic power windows all the way around them including the glass petitions in the limousine back of the car.(both were 9 passenger limo's)

[@jhm772]

The electric cars came out in the 1870's but that doesnt mean that they were prevalent enough for most people to have them and the same can be said for power windows.

[@ypop417]

You could slice watermelons with them too LOL

[@4gauge10]

Jack Mcgaha Power windows were VERY COMMON back then,they could be ordered in most cars at the time of higher echelon.(mercury/Oldsmobile series 90/Buick Roadmaster)

[@dukedurell]

I'd do a performance intake with a Holley Throttle body injection system,new camshaft lifters ,pushrods and rocker arms. Then do new headers with a 3" dual exhaust. Then upgrade the brakes to a more modern will wood disc brakes wrapped with 17" Cragar SS five spoke wheels.

[@kennywheeler9710]

Unless ur over 500hp 3" exhaust is too much for a small block 2.5" with a straight through designe muffler is the best route

[@dukedurell]

Hey Matt, I'm just getting to see this video. So, my husband is 61 years old. He is a major motor head. He in fact owned the same exact car. He suggests that you put a super charger in it. Keep the tires. He liked the chrome but only if you painted the body a glossy black keeping the original stripes with the white. He said maybe check the different kinds of black paint and white. He said to 86 the red, he hated the red. I hope it goes well for you!!! Can't wait to see the work in progress.

[@harambe3353]

It’s not an SS Matt. Guy finessed you. It would have the 454 if it was an SS (I’m pretty sure). Plus those do not look like Monte Carlo SS badges and they were placed too high on the fenders.

The first American car with electric power windows were introduced around 1946 by Lincoln. A friend of mine had a 1958 Oldsmobile 98 with electric power windows. My dad had a 1956 Chrysler with electric power windows ans a 1949 Cadillac with Hydro-lectric windows. In the 1940's there were vacuum assist power windows, so power windows have been around a long time.

Big block 572 with a efi kit. And a procharger.

[@justinhaas747]

Keep the 383 and do heads, cam, roots supercharger or procharger, and 4.10 rear gear. With today's tech there isn't much of a power nap between the big block and small block once you start modifying. But that's just my opinion and it's your car. Im interested to see what happens with it

Drew Almy exactly. Had bench seats, and the SS 454 was badged in 1970

[@brettrowell272]

Hung Lo the ss in 1970 came with factory bucket seats and a shifter on the floor. Why would you down grade to a bench seat. The column shifter could have been done with the “custom” transmission work. But again why

[@brentrichards4160]

You have a daily ride. Go with a supercharged big block.

[@jorthover6191]

I think the guy that draws all your cars already started his next design😂

[@sttxTv]

Matt saying smokers smell like booty has given me more motivation to quit than anything 😂😂

[@viktorkarlsson1494]

I'm thinking keep the chrome, paint it black but leave the white stripes. Get thicker tires and big mean exhaust pipes. But most important a badass engine!

[@jessitivity8949]

All I know is there is another drawing for Lincoln on it's way haha.

[@garypalmer5533]

Look up skip white performance 383 stroker 515 hp like 480 ft pounds torque pin you to the seat power. Long tube headers and 3 inch flowmaster exhaust and you will be riding tight. Love your channels love your videos my daughter watches every single one of them keep doing what you doing

[@satxtrap]

My first car was a '72 Monte Carlo and it looked like a car from the set of Mad Max. This was in the 80's though so I was able to blend in with the rest of my backwoods friends. I was fortunate enough to be around a lot of folks that were into cars/speed and ended up putting all sorts of nice upgrades on my small block 350. Look for some "double hump" heads if you keep the small block. Seeing your new car brought back some memories. I'm lucky to be alive after some of the stuff I did in my Monte. Enjoy yours.

[@amandaorzechowski7625]

Don't tell Mere..that's my best suggestion 😂🙏

This channel doesn't need an intro

[@igod_anarchylumley337]

The intro was already there when I started watching about 2-3 years ago. So this is awesome watching it unfold like this

[@psdirewolf]

you can only go so far with a small block before you start to run into heat and oil problems. they were powerful for their day but it was still designed in the 50's. Swap in an LS and you get more than big-block power for less weight. Also, LS parts tend to run cheaper than small block parts. Even the aluminum LS blocks are stronger than the old iron blocks.

[@slopoke8656]

The LS motors are a small block...

[@psdirewolf]

in dimensions yes more accurately we could call them them Gen 3-5 GM blocks since all "small blocks" are gen 1-2

[@psdirewolf]

exception would be the "big inch"(i think that's what they call them) LS's that are made.

[@slopoke8656]

ten thousand small block is based on block size, no matter what gen it is, a small block is a small block

[@slopoke8656]

ten thousand it could be lq,LS,lt old or new.... all small block motors

[@TicklishWhisker]

11:57 i swear when he asks the boy if he likes the dash he points at it and says “this shit?”😂

[@reaperjoe6701]

The first thing you have to do is give her name, second is to get the fuzzy dice to hang off the rear view mirror and the third is change the color, me personally I like either royal blue with the White Stripes or a metallic purple with the White Stripes

[@stronktank7149]

Reaper Joe purple would be sick

[@1BlackSheep]

Matt Twin turbskis on an LSX 427, pro touring suspension and some new wheels.

[@dadsvespa]

MATT!...did you check the vin# before buying this car?! That would tell you if it's an ss model or a stock Monte. Does it have a Posi Rear end?...SS would have a Posi. I know the hood is not stock, that's obvious, but Monte's didn't come with the "cowl induction" set up, I don't believe..That was a Chevelle option..and I don't believe they came with the fender "SS" emblems. Not sure about the grill on the Monte's. The original dash was most likely faux "wood grain". I know one thing for sure because my sisters husband owned one...that motor sounds...well...I'm not judging !..but it didn't sound like an SS small block. You should have been pushed into the seat ! it would have quickly downshifted and pulled MUCH harder than shown on your vid. I'm not trying to crush your excitement..but you may have a "clone" as they called them.Check the Vin !...It looks like a solid car....but I would have double checked. LOVE YA !!..lol...(don't get mad at me)..lol. matt

[@thedudeprime4677]

Yeah, Matt might’ve gotten played lol

[@dadsvespa]

I hope not...but always, always check the vin first, research if it is what he says it is. The engine sounded smooth...but.....I hate to say...It didn't sound "stroked" to me. When he changes the VC gaskets, he can check the head casting #'s and see if they are fuelie heads, or junk heads.I hope not ! matt

[@scottrousseau4023]

I'm pretty certain it's not a real SS, but I think? he knows that.

[@plankhill]

ALWAYS chek the vin... and the block numbers...

[@ochord]

well SS package was 454 with load leveling rear suspension.

[@curtisflight]

There a lift right there and the guy offers to put it up and Matt says no ... BRILLIANT Matt!

[@Alottamotta72]

Put a 450 in the car and put the old motor in the bronco. That would be nuts

[@MikeDesertHunterHale]

you mean a 454cid or 396cid?

[@Alottamotta72]

Mike Hale 454 sorry that was my bad lmao had to rush off

[@williamst.george6381]

No a 572 lol

[@boyertb]

Uh, no to putting the SBC in the Bronco. Just no.

[@zachstafford1548]

anthony motta but that ruins the bronco😣 can't mix Chevy and ford

[@gabehurley2683]

Is this Lincoln’s burner account?

[@DznByLimbo]

shhhhh dont tell dad ;) hahaha

[@xTriickster8]

That is not a SS... 1970 monte carlo SS came with a 454 and those badges are all fake. Sorry to say but the guy selling it lied to you.

[@SpikeOMason]

I actually had a 65 Olds that had electric windows, door locks, seats, auto headlight dimmer on the dash, electric trunk unlock, am/fm radio antenna and of course A/C.

[@thorbenhoffmann7292]

Matt, you have to get a bigger and meaner engine with the top of it sitting out of the bonnet. You could also make some stronger and bigger socks so that the front of the car is lifted a bit higher which will make it look like a Bada$$

[@jaybird8227]

Check vin #. Prob not an ss. Those are CHEVELLE SS badges. Monte ss badges were way more subtle. And down low on the fender.

[@burnouttv9989]

jaybird 82 it is defiantly not an SS would have buckets in it a 454 a turbo 400 with center console select. And yes they are chevelle badges.

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

Doesn't look like an SS dash, but not sure, not a stock hood, and no rear end badging... and not all SS came with 454. I had a few Chevelle SS, but can't remember the stock Monte Carlo SS markings.

[@jaybird8227]

ya472 , I know theyre in the recess of the rocker molding on the sides. Not sure about rear of car. Dont believe there was badging in front at all.

[@KrayTimes]

Same def not SS the real SS has floor shifter bucket seats etc different dash

[@KrayTimes]

Also Tru ss came with 454 350 an 427 I believe also 327 option

[@silentbob151a]

454 you need a 454 for an SS

[@doctordeath.5716]

Remember when you do the valve cover gasket to clean off all the old gasket use a little Permatex on the gasket to hold it in place and when you put the valve cover back on make you sure you have it torque down to the right torque specs

[@RONALDSPENCER]

u should name ur car 'MERE'S NIGHTMARE' Love the video and congrads on the new old car.

[@jcheas]

Umm gunmetal black paint job with demolition ranch eagle on the back or hood! Actually I’m not that great designing at thing but cool car!

[@EBMisKing]

Jonathan Cheas holy shit yes

[@retsaoter]

If you're thinking swap, should probably talk to Texas Speed and performance.

[@UnApologeticPatriot]

My advice would be a 427 stroker - gives you the small block weight savings with big blockish torque. You can easily push 650+ HP and 600+ TQ out of one and they are not that expensive. Plus it will drop right in because it's the same dimensions as the 350/383 stroker. Good luck Matt. Looks good.

[@toolologist6274]

Nice car Matt. Fix the oil leak, then take it to a real drag strip and see what it runs in the 1/4 mile. Then you have a baseline and can decide just how much faster you want it to be. I bet it runs 13s now. Which won't really feel very fast to you.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

Doug Dixon 13's maybe if it had a good automatic but this one sounds sluggish

[@patrickpelletier6315]

Or a 4 speed

[@CrazyBuck123]

Looks like Lincoln will have another picture in his room shortly as well.

[@lordofcake2664]

Matt you schuld paint the demolition Eagle on the hood. I think it will look amazing. nice greetings from Germany

[@ethan5403]

Lord of Cake its a cool idea but the pontiac firebird has that and it would be a bit sad trying to mix cars like that

[@austindouglas3832]

Ok granny

[@kevincarscadden8338]

You chose wisely. My baby is gone after a hit & run. It was a basic 71 Monte Carlo 17 1/2 feet long. I may not care much for the hood, but the boldy lines look great. I believe you have a posi rear.... Enough with that, the rear trunk lock has an emblem, you need one ! So I will just send a pictures of my baby after a car show. Just a chevy 350, but a lot of fun. ! If yours is like mine, the oem steering horn went off every time I folded down the rear seat to clean the back seat, or have passengers.... She was certainly a head turning car ( even without the aluminum wheels )...... Enjoy it..... It's one heck of a car....... Kev

[@kevincarscadden8338]

Well, I guess I can't send a picture or two...

[@Marz-px6vx]

Nice car the good thing is 350 parts are easy to come by. But for future refrence if you decide to modify it throw an LS motor and procharge it not for crazy horse power but enough to power to move that boat. But you will have a reliable ride. Well nice ride have a good one.

[@landonfranklin1170]

Mario Smith Instead of a shitty LS swap he should just build the 350. Stroke it, cam, good ignition, fuel injection or 4 bbl, aftermarket heads and internals, drop a 9" in the ass, 4 speed toploader and you cant go wrong.

[@Marz-px6vx]

Landon Franklin yeah its up to him i just through suggestion out there.

[@tennesseeoutdoorsman9103]

I don't think its a 383 stroker, I'd say buy a new crate motor and put a big supercharger and cam in it stroke it out port and polish the heads, then you would have a very powerful motor

[@brandonleonberger]

What makes you think it's not a 383? Why would someone buy a crate engine and tear it all apart and build a completely different engine? I think buying a powerful crate engine or building the one that came with the car are both better options.

[@Moibhin]

LS3 with tubro and forged internals would be sweet

[@flyer737sw]

You clearly don’t know anything about motors. From the exterior a 383 stroker will look exactly like a 350 motor. Any stroker motor will add Torque while a motor than is Bored bigger, will give you HP.

[@jasontruman1215]

flyer737sw this is exactly true.... big heavy Monte Carlo needs torque

[@tennesseeoutdoorsman9103]

flyer737sw the reason i don't think its a stroker is becuase it sounds somewhat guttless, but it could have big mufflers on it, no i don't know everything about engines but if im right to make it a stroker than the cylinder bores would be bored out and then i think you pit longer connecting rods in it

[@Erik-dc7vf]

My dad has a 72 Monte. By far my favorite cars of all time. I’ll have one someday. This is a decent looking survivor though! Thanks for sharing the car matt!

[@stevenwalls8034]

How bout set of big power aluminum heads , big lift cam , and a big PRO charger and maybe fuel injection system

[@bgrushbr]

steven walls Who known's the history of the engine .Put a supercharger on now Make sad video seeing engine going boom piston though hood not good

[@stevenwalls8034]

Bren Rush man I did mean to rebuild the hole engine , not just through that stuff on it I know little better then that

[@thomasreimer1767]

I'm sad to say but you will have a lot of work with it. Personally I would start with the technical parts and the wiring, I hate all these loose cables hanging out of the dashboard. Next would be the chassis work. In general all should be done before you decide for (better brakes - maybe there are conversion kits available - the bigger the better), rear axle, Transmission and Engine and these all have to play along. A stroker is ok but either with a blower or a big block you will at first kill your Transmission (TH350 is in I guess - for any serious engine you should change to a strenghtened TH400) and second the transmission shaft and axle. Trust me, been there done that. ;)

[@jamesrowe6632]

Looks like Monte Carlo has met Mr bondo. Media blast once you have replaced the Bondo areas with real metal do a LS3 swap.

[@Lkilkenny]

James Rowe not a LSX?

[@jamesrowe6632]

yeah even better

[@bheagle65]

Seriously.. LS SWAP??? This is not a Leroy.

[@Mrflash222006]

For the love of God DO NOT do an LS swap!
