    That bad boy sounds nasty! Hell of a cam in it for sure, go 3:73, good for street and strip. As for your vacuum issue, big cam motors do not produce vacuum at idle, you need an aftermarket vacuum canister for the street.

      That makes sense as to why it started working once he was driving, but wasn’t working at idle.

    Absolutely love it. I'm not a mechanic at all, but I had the same problem with an El Camino they ended up swapping the torque converter to fix the RPM problems.

  • @mh488
    @mh488 7 місяців тому +5

    Nothing like the sound of a cammed V8. In my opinion, probably one of the best sounding cars you have had on your channel. Its not overdone, just pure musclecar music! Great job!

  • @countryguyusa273

    I love how you have the air-conditioning ready to go. A lot of people do these motor swaps and leave out the air-conditioning. It’s a pet peeve of mine.

    Man! The chop on that cam sounds AMAZING!
    You are going to want to do that rear end for sure.
    When you start doing burnouts and hard launches, the ring and pinion are
    going to go bye bye on you.
    Sounds great Man!
    So far, so good!

    I know this may sound crazy but the fact that there was some hiccups and problems in this video gained you another follower. Seeing things not go as planned , hearing you say it took days to figure out some of the simplest things, etc was all so relatable, especially as I work on my 86 MCSS. Love this video and type of content !!!! Very much appreciated!

    I would change the converter, that 2600 converter is more like 3000rpm converter. A 2200 or 2400 would make that car drive experience a lot better.

    You should have a heater control valve that is in-line with your heater inlet hose to the core. The pneumatic line that you showed us allows it to open and close sending hot water to the heater.

    That engine sounds incredible. As far as the vacuum issue goes the vacuum ball should be connected to a full manifold vacuum it may be connected to a ported vacuum on the base of your carburetor. Take a look at the vacuum source.

It sounds like you have them ported (plugged in to the Throttle plate) Where you won't have enough vacuum unless the accelerator is open.. beautiful car. I've always wanted a Monty ss. But I was lucky enough to own a GNX.. loved and miss that car.😊

    Good choice for the project, I always liked how the exhaust pipes looked coming all the way back to the bumper on these cars and hope you do that too. As for the wheels try to keep the origonal wheels. The 2 points you are changing as far as Esthetics goes, I would keep them origonal. Keep the wheels and do the exhaust how it was way back then.

    #1, there is a gear in the transmission that drives the speedo. Change the gear and the speedo will be accurate. #2. some cam shafts are "rowdy" and thus they do not produce vacuum. check your lines if it is the cam consider a reservoir for vacuum. Nice work.
