I have a friend who is in his 20's and has done 5 or 6 high quality LS swaps into 2 mid 80's Monte Carlos, his Dad's 70 Monte Carlo, a mid 70's Chev pickup and currently a former 10 second S 10 bracket truck.
His 87 Monte Carlo is a pretty cool car..and runs 11.2 ..well thought out build, stock 6.0 bottom ..slightly work stock heads..new valve springs and roller cam...its interesting the cam is very similiar to what I run ..mild duration and around .650 lift. Engine is converted to traditional intake and carb setup.
That being said I appreciate the work and the knowledge that he has achieved but for myself I'm purest when it comes to my own Pontiacs and also admit I'm a Pontiac engine snob at car shows or the dragstrip..I wont even look at a classic Pontiac that has been swapped.
