the project was on hold for a little while because I've been busy with wedding organisation and stuff. my fiance and me are getting married next week (May 25th) so that's why no updates on the monte for a while. just tried to make the Monte ready for the wedding but oh well.. lot of other stuff came in and plus a long dang cold winter.
but as we speak there are some more new parts on the way to continue work on the car. already got new rear wheels tubs laying and a cammed LS3 6.2 out of a 2011 camaro :D

finally picked up my LS3 6.2 480HP this week yeehaaw! :D

Nice motor Kevin. That should move the Monty very nicely!

It looks cool Kevin.

Are you leaving it "as is" or making any changes?

thanks guys! I think I'll leave the LS3 "as is" - should have enough fun to start with! :D

monte's still waiting for buddy's new garage to move in. in there we finally can start with the body (cut, weld and primer). here's a pic of last weekend.

now I need your thought on this. since I love the 77 Trans Am and their shaker hood scoops, I thought to add one on my monte carlo hood.

the 77 scoops also got the sharp edge on top that would match to the monte carlo hood..

here's a newer monte carlo with a t/a shaker.

I'd try to make it to a functional air intake for the stock LS3 intake - depending on clearance between hood and engine..

what do you think?

I like the idea of the shaker, especially the 77 with the nice body line.

Nice motor Kevin. I like the idea of the shaker hood.

thanks guys :)
