Having spent the better part of the last 30 years working on cars. I have learned there is nothing more overrated than GM performance. However, I think the Monte is a sweet looking car. That's why I wanted to put a Mopar engine in it. I figure then it will run as sweet as it looks.

I was just giving you a hard time, I have alot of respect for Mopar but I'm a Chevrolet guy through and through and a purist at that. Advanced Adapters would probably be good place to start fyi.

I know how that is, I know ford and Chevy guys alike. I actually have a lot of respect for GM transmissions. You can get an adaptor to match a 400 trans to just about any engine. I am looking for a project. I figured small block Chrysler is what I want to build, and a Monte is just a bad ass looking body. I could have something fabricated however, I was hoping see if someone made an adaptor kit.

I agree it's a sweet looking ride, when I was younger a guy down the road had a white SS and put a LT4 in it and boy was that car nasty! Before the LS swap days the LT4 was king.
