Years back I built an early '80s Monte SS for a customer, a 454 with an inexpensive Eagle stroker kit (496") with mildly ported oval port heads, a solid lifter Comp cam, and an open plenum intake covered by an 850 Holley, a modified TH400 and a 9" Ford rear axle. With good traction on a set of Quick Times it'd carry the front wheels roughly 4 inches off the pavement about 30ft out! Good times!

That's that engine that belongs in that car. The SS 454 Monte was a classic.
-
The 454 and a 455 nice motors👍🏻😎

One of my friends from Western Hills High School in Fort Worth Texas him and his grandpa that was a Master Mechanic did this to his grandmother's car without her knowing what's that lived on a farm so they had about five different Vehicles so it took her a little while to find out but man what a beast

Building a 79 malibu with a big block 496 & tall valve covers. This video just saved the hell out my AC box. Great idea. Thanks. 💯
-
This feels so mid 2000s and I love it.

Joe Elmore is a true living legend.....put him on mount Rushmore or give him a JD Powers and Associates award.....something🏆
-
Excellent show, you guys really keep the viewer in mind!
-
I bet these guys were pissed when they were told to convert the car back over after cutting in a manual shift.
-
THIS VIDEO BLEW MY MIND, i myself have an 85 monte carlo, and everything you guys did to this beauty, and i mean everything, is the exact plan i have for my baby girl. Thank you guys you absolutely made my day, i thank you!
-
A 454 and a 2004R, excellent! This is something more for the average budget joe. More stuff like this, less of the newer crap.
-
i use to love this when i was a kid... on spike.
-
man I remember watching this show when I was a kid.
-
The sound that 454 makes🤤soo good
-
I completely forgot about that project. That would be one sweet weekend cruiser.
-
Love the jock jams in the background
-
I was doing the compressed air in the cylinder trick to hold the valves up 30 years ago. If the engine is in a manual trans car, make sure it's in neutral when you hook up the air or the car will move.

What a great idea 12:51 A kid wrenching those turbo impellers

I vote for Watts link for the rear.... I know this build is finished but I haven't seen it so I can have some fun with it. 😃
