a few montsh back i sold my friend my 87 monte ss stop minus my 100% illegal straight pipe exhaust(no cats no mufflers)...i beat the **** outta the car i was a moron.. the cars interior is mint so is the exterior minus teh fact i need a bumber comver and rigth fender, oh yeah the engien is done and so is the 2004r tranny. and teh brakes need adjusting....

so since i i know whyat engien im putting in my 78(502 ramjet) and cant find a buyer for my beautiful 350, i was thinking of sellign my integra to my friend for 6k (bought it for 4500) puting my 350 outta my 78 into my monte attach it to a tremec 5spd and have the brakesd fixed and find body parts soem where lol and use the monte for my daily driver...


monte-1000$
engine-free
tranny-1500$???
clutch-500$??
brakes-500$??
body parts and paint-1000$??

total 4500$ aorund, leavignme 1500 to pay my mom back for the integra an havign a daily driver taht doesnt sound liek a weed wacker

i say stick with the 200r4, thats a pretty stout auto...and it should fit into the g-body fine since they were OE on the turbo buick's

He would have to either rebuild it or find another one though....

5spd into a g-body is a cool deal. unless you wanted to do a T56 which i happen to know where you coudl find :wink: hint hint nudge nudge :P
i say go for it. sounds like a cool project and there are a few g-bod guys around who could show you how to do it.

are you still mad i beat you...

the only thing i can think of....your monte needs gears if you want it to move...

oh and the point of the beater is good in the snow and good on fuel... 2 things the monte would never be...

bah, who cares about mileage? and how often does it really snow anyway? umm....well.... this may be the wrong winter to have anyone answer teh second question ;)
as far as cool factor i say a 5spd gbody takes it over the honduh. go fer it. :)
