FST94TSI Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I did some custom gauge work on a 2000ish Monte Carlo SS a couple years ago and was wondering if it was someone on here. It is quite unique so for a brief description it had been converted to rear wheel drive and had an LS-1 motor swapped into it as well. The thing was absolutely amazing. It was put together really well and although it obviously wasnt it appeared to have had those parts installed from the factory. Im looking for the owner because the car wasnt quite done when I last saw it so im curious if it got finished and how it turned out. RWD LS motor was exactly what those cars needed from the factory. They had great body lines but FWD just didn't do anything for them in my opinion. If anybody knows about this car please lemme know whats up with it.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah I'm pretty sure that is something that Grashel built. Jim Grashel works at jegs ( I forget which one right off hand) but you might stop in and he might be able to tell you where its at nowadays.

FST94TSI Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yes they are fwd unfortunately. The one i was asking about though was an absolute blast to drive having been swapped to rwd. It was definately the way it should have been from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
