There was NEVER a 427 ci factory Rat in the Monte Carlo from the factory. It was an KS5 or LS6 454 cud Chevrolet big block Rat V8. So if you saw a 427, it was installed by a former owner. There was NEVER a 70 Factory 427 inch V8. Check your facts before you post, brodie

@bobdavis3357 thats what the stickers under the hood on top of the radiator said . Thats what the valve covers said . Thats what the car dealer said . Geuss all that doesnt make it true . But someone went to a LOT a trouble to make it look factory ! According to the dealership it was custom ordered with the 427 . By the owner of the dealership ! But i geuss none a that makes it true either . I only talked to the guy for a half hour about it though

I'm more of a monte carlo guy myself but 68 is a special year.

We agree!

No need to be envious, these cars are everywhere and half the cost of a Chevelle! tons of these out there waiting to be rescued! Go out and find a project and get to work!

Thanks

Nice!! Now that I have this one it's really renewed my love for these so I'm already wanting a k2500 or k1500, I actually found my old k1500 sitting in a field, but it's rough! I bought it with 186k put a 4" lift and brush guard tons of lights roof rack and made it into a zombie apocalypse overlanding build, I did a lot of deep public land hunting and it worked awesome! When I got a nicer 97 my dumb azz sold it, it had like 200k and the guy drove it for a bunch of years, his wife worked with mine and she would always tell her how much they loved thing and how it was the best vehicle they ever owned. Maybe I'll stop by and take a video of it if they let me.

That's a bummer about the trans but Good to hear you're saving it! I love these rigs! Good luck the project.

@@bmfspeedshop4562 thanks but we both own unicorns lol but I thought the only put the 6.5 diesel and 454 big block in the 2500s and up guess I am wrong

​@@breakinggames6356my first one was a 1993 c2500 with the 350ci 480le, at that time I had 3 obs suburbans also had a 1995 c1500 and a 1998 k1500 all nice rigs and a square body so I offered them all up to the guy that owned the 1973 monte Carlo on Craigslist barter, he took my favorite "goldilocks" I named her as much as I love the truck i had to rescue the monte and it was my dream car! he was gonna use it as a figure 8 car had it gutted and sitting on snow tires .. But he needed a reliable daily since he had a kid in the way and that burb had 2500mi in the built 350 and was a beast. So after a long time and a lot of work I finally feel complete lol with our growing family this thing is already pretty much perfect! I'm working on the exhaust first and tune up.

@@bmfspeedshop4562 I plan to unleash the tamed beast that is the tbi454 its original version in the chevelle ss is way more respectable compared to the version I got seriously the chevelle makes 500ib of torque while my version only makes 382ib

​@@breakinggames6356yeah don't let the numbers fool ya, with a few little things they wake right up! The only downside of the 454 is fuel and oil consumption lol, I plan to work over this rig and make it completely bulletproof for cross country trips!, eventually it'll get a built 355 with forged everything, roller cam, vortec heads, exhaust, etc and really set it up for reliable pulling.

@@jndhro thanks

The Honda is a really nice car! My buddy had a 6 speed in his and the car was surprisedly quick! Great on gas, but he did end up having issues with the clutch and warranty stuff done eventually sold it to carvana and made out ok! I tested out an accord and loved it except the CVT. I just rolled 10k miles on my WRX and I must say it's probably one of my favorite cars to drive! I'll be making an update soon as I get time.

@bmfspeedshop4562 I like the Civic as well but I don't like the rev hang and the clutches on the generation Si's I have are junk unfortunately. My dad and stepmom used to have a WRX and I drove theirs and I absolutely loved it. I've wanted my own WRX since then. Looks like a blast to drive. I can't wait to get it. Less than 14 hours to go and I'll be at the dealership getting it. So goddamn excited.

@@riley1733 so how much do you love it?

@bmfspeedshop4562 I love it. Best purchase I've made this year. No rev hang and the car drives awesome. Clutch is good in it too so that's good. Glad I made the switch. I had to get used to the clutch and shifting as I gotta shift and let the clutch out faster in this car than I did in the Si but I love this car way more and I absolutely love that there's no rev hang. All in all, I'm super happy with it and I have a blast every time I drive it.

@@riley1733 that's how I feel as well! Such an enjoyable car to drive! The clutch is different and very tight I'd say even compared to my 2023 Crosstrek 6MT it's way different clutch and shift feel.

@@veiledzorba I love the cougar looks as well but the thundbird as a extremely low drag coefficient and this resulted it better mpg! We get 26-29mpg in this car.

@@andrewalvarez5120 currently rolled 24k miles on and have driven coast to coast no other issues yet.

@@73buickman very nice! It's cool seeing such a diverse group of cars.
