 1984 Monte Carlo SS Supercharged 350

    This is a 1984 Monte Carlo SS with a supercharged 350 capable of 1000+ horsepower!   The car has a fiberglass 6 in. cowl hood.  I changed the interior from the original blue to black.  The seats were re-covered in the original type material.  The dash was covered with a black factory style dash cover.  It looks just like the original except for the color.  The front suspension was rebuilt with new polyurethane bushings and new springs.  I have a set of 2in. drop spindles for it, but it drives so good that I decided not to put them on.  The engine is an aftermarket GM block.  It has a Callies rotating assembly with forged blower pistons. The heads are dart pro 1's.  The supercharger is a Weiand 6-71 topped with 2 Holley 750 vacuum secondary blower carbs.  It has a boost referenced MSD programmable distributer.  The distributer comes with a cable to hook to a laptop and the software to tune it with. The supercharger is set at 12% underdriven.  On the 12% underdriven street tune it was dynoed at 500hp.  With the supercharger pulleys swapped around to the race tune it made 1100hp on 12% overdriven.  Swapping the pulleys around requires the use of race fuel, re-jetting the carbs, and lowering the timing.  On the street tune you can fill it up with 87 octane and drive it anywhere without any sign of problems.  The transmission is a built turbo 350 with a 5000 stall converter.  It has a set of BFG T/A drag radials on the back pushed by a set of 308 gears.  This old Monte is a surprisingly good street car with plenty of get up and go when you want it. 

    You read the good, now for the minor defects.  The headliner is sagging some.  The speedometer recently quit working.  I believe it is a speedometer cable.  The cable is an easy fix on this car, I just have not had the time to do it.  The paint is fresh but was never wet sanded and buffed.  It was never a big enough concern to me.  The car looks great like it is, but if you want an absolutely show quality car it would need to be color sanded and buffed.  The air-conditioner compressor and condenser are in the trunk of the car.  It doesn't have a radio.  Who needs a radio when you have the whine of a blower to sing to you!   Other than those few things the car is AMAZING.  It rides and drives like a new car. 

    The engine in this car cost over $16,000.  I have the reserve set at $10,000 .  I just have too many cars and I need to get rid of a couple of them.  This car is the lowest on the totem pole for me, so here it is for sale.

     If you have any questions please e-mail me at rod_bender65@yahoo.com or call me at 1-662-862-2425. If you have 0 or negative feedback contact me before you bid.  If you do not your bid will be canceled.  I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.    Thanks for looking, John.

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks

Thu, Sep 29 2016

Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.

Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]

Tue, Sep 27 2016

UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
