1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Base Coupe 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Eatontown, New Jersey, United States
1984 Monte Carlo - Landau. My sons first car, hate to sell its been a fun father and son project. Based on meeting the original owners Son, the condition of the car, we are confident that the mileage is correct at 76,724. We purchased it with approx. 49,000 on the odometer. Overall good condition, not a rot box at all, solid body, frame etc. Exterior paint is older - a few recent repaints on some panels. Interior - shows signs of wear, new headliner and visors installed. But could use seat covers and a dash cap. Short block - we removed the orig 305 and installed a very nice 350 4 bolt main block, bored .30 over, Speed Pro pistons, new rings, bearings - the bottom of the block was built by dad (have built quite a few motors), clearances were well in tolerances for both mains, rods, end play, ring gap and piston wall clearance. Top end - Heads from Motor Crate Engines in Portland Oregon - Thick wall guides, hardened seats for unleaded fuel, HD valve springs, 2.20 intake stainless swirl valves, 1.60 exhaust stainless swirl valves, Pocket Ported, 64cc combustion chamber. Cam is a Lunati VooDo .468/.489, 219/227 duration. Manifold is a Edlebrock performer with a 550 CFM Carter. Hooker Headers to 2 1/2 inch exhaust through 40 series Flowmaster mufflers. There are no cats on the exhaust. Compression based on above is about 9.5.1 - so must use Premium Fuel., Estimated HP I would guess between 375 and 400. Not sure of the torque. Have receipts for all work we did and parts purchased. Car runs great, fun to drive, BF Goodrich radials on 1986 Monte SS restored rims. Car has a Clraion DXZ845 stereo Car comes with a bunch of extra parts - interior etc. The A/C was not working when we got the car, we do however have all the parts and brackets to go back in if the new owner decides to get it working. Also have a 1986 Monte Carlo SS rear with 3:73 - posi to go with it, this rear would compliment the motor greatly, we were going to put it in with a 700r4, great combo (I do not have the 700r4, only the rear) Contact me to see the car, it could still use a few new items but a great fun Father and Son car. Thanks for looking. |

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]
Thu, Jun 12 2014The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.
Chevy Volt gets customer satisfaction 'recall' for rear hatch issue *UPDATE*
Mon, Jan 26 2015Last week, General Motors has issued a "Customer Satisfaction program" for some 2011-2015 model year Chevrolet Volts to fix the manual rear lift gate not working as appropriate. According to Volt owner posts on Facebook, the problem manifests itself by the hatch not opening up all the way (sometimes worse in the cold) with some people bumping their heads. Dealers will replace the lift gate struts as part of the program. Some drivers were notified through the vehicle's OnStar system that there is a problem. GM has not yet said how many Volts are affected. *UPDATE* This program is for all 2011-2015 model year Volts. Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho told AutoblogGreen that, "This is not a recall, so there won't be any formal information posted on the GM website." The fixes will be free to affected Volt owners. Some 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles are also affected by the same problem and will also be fixed.
