I think the 2nd one has a motor with the correct number of cylinders in it though.
I've got huge love for the G-bodies too, love them done up as drag cars. My good friend had an '84 Regal and another had an '87 Cutlass.

I saw this car take the win light and the money 2 weeks ago or so in Huntsville. It's all sorted out and can hold it's own with just about anyone that wants to get side by side. I don't build Chevies, unless it's for a friend. But I do enjoy fast muscle cars of any brand. You just can't beat fast and quick, no matter what brand it is installed in. ALAN

As far as cool, it is much cooler NOW, since it is fast. Plus, it was already a race car when Chad bought it.

Back in the early '90's when I was still in the GSCA guys were already putting BB Buicks and Chevies in GN's. It costs a lot of money to make a V-6 fast AND hold together. Hell, even Lawrence Conley went BBC.

Wow i really didnt expect to come on my favorite mopar site and expect to see mopars being made fun of or a stock daily driver compared to an all out chevy race car.Its cool that the chevy car is fast but i couldnt care less about it. my neighbor has a fast bbc and so does my cousin and my uncle etc. and they are faster than my 440 roadrunner but i wouldnt trade it for all of them because i hate chevys fast or not. if i had the money they have spent on these cars im sure i could run right with them in my mopar.

When have I EVER suggested somebody put a Chevy motor in their Mopar..........I will save you the research. The answer is never. Do I suggest powerglides and 9" rears for certain cars, you bet your ass. Do I complain that as Mopar people we have no parts to compete with GM on a level basis, you bet your ass again.........but if you think that means I want Mopar guys to put GM engines in their cars, your reading comprehension is off.

And as for WHY I am on a Mopar site......well it could be the fact that I own 8 at the current time, have always raced a Mopar and so did my dad. I currently have 8 Mopars, a Jeep, one Ford truck and a Mercedes. You will notice NO GM cars on that list, nor have I EVER owned a GM car. Now I DO have a jet boat with a 500" BBC, so I guess you can hold THAT against me.

I've owned and been around Mopars all of my life, I've messed with some chevy (not mine) roundy round cars and pulling trucks over the years. Never owned a gm though. I like to look at all brands of cars, it gives me ideas and I like to see how other people do stuff. I'm not a chevy fan but I can appreciate the work it takes to make any of them fast. Sure go fast parts for GMs are easy to get compared to Mopars and I'm envious, but I don't hate them. The LS engines intrigue me but I'll never own one.
I will say this, I'll look at some guys Camaro that just made a fast pass or that looks and sounds nasty before I'll walk over and look at some guy with a numbers match Cuda. Then listen him tell that it has original lug studs, nos springs on the rear brakes and date coded radio knobs. Hot rods are my thing, not show poodles.

The Buicks are very cool cars. I have friends that have run them. My old neighbor had one that looked bone stock and ran 10.80's. Running 4.20 in the 1/8 in anything is pretty cool. I'll admit it'd be cooler in a mopar, so maybe some mopar guys with deeeeeep pockets should build one

BBC Walmart valve covers and Autozone steering wheel covers.
And as for WHY I am on a Mopar site......well it could be the fact that I own 8 at the current time, have always raced a Mopar and so did my dad. I currently have 8 Mopars, a Jeep, one Ford truck and a Mercedes. You will notice NO GM cars on that list, nor have I EVER owned a GM car. Now I DO have a jet boat with a 500" BBC, so I guess you can hold THAT against me.
It's crowded around my trailer..........LOL........we barely have room for the beer cooler and the rusted out grill
Monte
Monte Monte Monte.
You should know better.
All your hard work means nothing around here. Everybody knows all you have to do is bolt some BBC parts together and anybody can run those numbers.
My
is toss in a lowban apply , 8 3/4 and a factory appearing part and you will be faster than ever. to all your hard work. I know you didn't get there overnight.Matt.

Actually it does and I have watched ole Monte use it to their advantage as the staging beams broke at the last race I saw them at. And I think it's red tennis shoes, not flip flops. LOL.
The best thing to hate about that car is the 1.0 60' on the same 315 DRs that my little KOS 499 would just spin.

Re: Monte Smith........ - 07/28/14 05:24 PM
Listening to too many MOPAR people for far too long, is it any wonder that even "traditional" Pontiac fans have access to a slew of readily available hardcore race parts, including killer blocks and heads......while we sit around holding our cranks(hafts)???
If guys aren't crying about the cost, or the "look" of the few parts that are available, they're throwing digs around like they have a clue.
Is it any wonder why we have to jump through hoops to dig up a stinking iron cylinder block that's worth screwing together for a good small block build and can't even consider a HEMI since the last decent head for a 4.800 block was developed when Clinton was president???
I WISH we were "cookie cutter" in the GM/Ford mold.

Re: Monte Smith........ - 07/28/14 09:37 PM
Reason why im doing a Gen III hemi. Its the best thing "Mopar" "Fiat" or whatever their flavor of the month has going right now. Not gonna spend 3-4K on a set of BB heads that still flow 20-30cfm shy of what 6.1's will with a $700 port job. There is so much good stuff out there right now from all brands that if you are to stubborn to embrace it, all you will prove is that your old stuff is EXPENSIVE AND SLOW AND HEAVY. So once all you diehards are all done spending $3500 on heads, $1K on lifters and $1-1500 on rockers so the thing will live at 650-800hp how Mopar is it then?

Nice car Monte but you have a few items wrong.
Yellow Painted master cyl backing plate (should be black), GM style cross flow radiator in it, no blackout behind the grill, etc.
I am just poking fun at some of the purists on here. It is a Great looking and was a Great running car.
I would also Love to see you get it done and out racing again.
Where are you at on the rebuild??? or has that stalled and is on the back burner again???
I Appreciate all your opinions you give on here to Help us guys out.

I posted that as a joke, but several years ago I was at the drag strip in Gleason TN. My car was unloaded and I was sitting on the trailer waiting and watching guys drive by warming their cars up. I counted 11 67-69 Camaros as they came by nose to tail, and that wasn't all of them. I think they've multiplied over the years

Hilarious...you're the one whining about heads being "developed when Clinton was president"....and always complaining about parts not being available......
And who do you blame ? the folks on Moparts.....
Too difficult for your feeble mind to fathom their, Jr.???
Cuz if it is, you're out of luck since my keyboard doesn't type in crayon.
Typical, when you have no logical response, revert back to grade school...
You really believe a few people here are responsible for you not being able to buy the parts you seem to want ??...
there are some mopar guys out there too busy "gittin-r-dun" to be on the internet whining.....like you
The problem is, you expect a logical response to ignorance.
I didn't hear anyone say that a "few" people here are "responsible" for not being able to purchase highend parts....
There are a multitude of reasons for the lack of support from the performance aftermarket. The No.1 being numbers, as GM and Ford have more, but there is an attitude in MOPAR circles that is caustic and some of it revolves around the price of parts and some of it is the distance an aftermarket part deviates from "stock".
In the case of pricing, one cannot expect things like blocks and heads to be on par with Ford and GM for simple Economics 101 reasons and when it comes to ultra highend hardware, one cannot expect many of those parts to look like a 906 head.
I've read these very things on this site and if you haven't......step away from the glue and PAY ATTENTION.
If you don't think the fact that a percentage of people in the MOPAR community take issue with these unavoidable truths and that shrinks the market even further, you are leading a Utopian existence.
And if you believe I spend my time whining on the internet instead of "playing" with my lowly streetcars, I have a GREAT spot not 3 miles down the road to test your theory, so feel free to stop buy anytime with your junk and we'll see who's "gittin-r-dun".
Come clean out a "grade schooler".

When one spends the money to be competitive in heads up racing one tends to purchase parts that work regardless of what brand they were copied from.

Wescott and Barton aren't even close to sniffing a 4.20, Bob R is running a bae hemi that ain't Mopar. Marty Pearcy and Go green are running a Mopar and there 1/2 second away which is huge in drag racing. So no one is getting it done like you claim.

Speaks the truth but didn't Dean go with a hemi? BTW I'm not whining. I worked at Chrysler for 9 years and my dad 10 before me. I drive a Jeep SRT8, a Ram 1500(hemi) and have a 1970 Challenger T/A under a cover in my garage. I am "Mopar Guy". I race whatever it takes to get into the winner's circle with little regard to OEM allegiance.

Ain't that the truth!! Sorry Monte.....I didn't think asking one question would create this!!
But, like others asked, I'm also curious as to the status of the GTX and if / when it may be back out.

You have a problem with comprehension.....
The Point is....there are some very fast, very successful guys racing Mopar Powered cars....that are not on the internet whining about parts availability.....you have outdone all of them combined, in the whining category....congrats

There are some fast MOPARs out there!!!
Your grasp of the obvious is impressive. Come up with that revelation all by yourself, did ya???
That of course does not change the fact that some moron stepped into this thread to step on Smith's accomplishments with a car that was labeled in derogatory fashion.
My point is simply this.....
We would be so lucky to have half of what is available for BBCs and the people on this forum are lucky that a guy with Smith's background is willing to help them out on the internet, so I saw no reason to denigrate his accomplishments simply because it isn't MOPAR deal.
While the discussion has gone completely off course, my assertions stand.
Yours on the other hand......like some nonsense about car show Road Runners and name dropping a handful of racers to prove that what (???) MOPAR racers DO have ample access to highend hardware (???)....... is comical.

I've never been a Mopar guy because it is easier or cheaper. Chevrolet has always been loved by the aftermarket because let's face it, in stock form, they are junk period. Don't see that changing EVAR!
