1975 350 V8 Chevrolet monza Part 2: Carb, Intake, and Weight Reduction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2022
- We’ve gotten a ton of work done on the monza. It has a new 4150 brawler carb, edelbrock air gap intake, accel plug wires, and a ton of weight reduction. It’s that much closer to becoming a full running and driving car again.

Good Work.
Getting there Travis!
The Water Pump and all of the front pulleys have Corvette part numbers.
Excellent job 👏 ☮️
This’ll be a fun build.
love yall here from bedford va yall i love that car hold on to it very rare and cool
Good stuff will be good when finished
Nice to see something saved
Saved ???
@@glennmanchester3666 the actual car saved, done something with, not junked
Sheeesh! Bad ass built
That vent hose off the fuel sending unit runs up to the charcoal canister
I had a '75 with a 262 V-8/ auto. I put in a 1969 Impala 350 that said 255hp on the air cleaner with single exhaust. Gotta tell you - that car was a Porsche killer sleeper in 1983...
Check out this BUILD I AM DOING NOW ITS A SUPER CAR KILLER

Imagine what dual exhaust would have done to allow it to exhale much easier even w the stock manifolds it would have made a decent amount of difference I'm sure they really are light cars to begin with and we did the same thing to actually a olds Starfire used all the V8 bracketry and such from a 262 Monza to slap a good healthy 350 w a mild little cam and let it breathe well along w a good hei distributor with a good quality module and a aftermarket coil we curved the advance in the distributor to get the advance to come in when we wanted it the motor was not super high compression or anything so we could bring in full advance quite fast and with all that tinkering around the damn thing scooted like a scalded cat lol those are the secrets to waking up any motor really the total advance to be there when the motor will tolerate it w out detonating a good dual plane intake and a good carb no matter what it's in you'll get the best fuel economy and performance because it's happy and running at peak performance even older tired worn out motors can wake up decent so what if it smokes a little especially on start up cuz it needs valve seals and leaks oil a little bit run the snot out of it especially a small block Chevy they love it and will not disappoint lol
Hooker made headers for the Monza 👍
Keyword: made.
Glad Travis is doing it. What a hot mess. Great video!!
Put some eltric fans on it, will make it so much quieter engine bay
I wonder if that smog pump can be used as a supercharger on a go-kart
YES YOU CAN its been done a ton of times
Does she have a channel?
Any plans to switch out those 4 bolt wheel lugs? All the HP in the world wont do any good if it can’t get to the street.
I had a ‘80 Monza with a mid 90s 305, and the biggest problem (aside from all the maintenance issues with an ‘80s GM product) was wheel spin. There were virtually no aftermarket wheels for a 4 bolt RWD vehicle.
And one more thing, this build is like a dream from the past, man I wish I’d had the knowledge and resources to do all that!
I see you haven’t gotten to the end of the video yet lol
Cut! Let’s re-rack and go to first positions people! We got a series to produce and these things don’t make themselves!🤣
Great job everyone!
Travis's my frend don't expect that 350 to run with those junk heads and smog cam. Give it a fighting chance. Get some AFR. ALUMINUM HEADS AND A DECENT CAM. you would not put together A LS with junk parts. 😳😳😳😳😳.
my 75 monza weighted 2800 with driver with a aluminum headed sbc in it with a th350 and the 6 point roll cage and a 9" wonder what yours will weight in at . cant wait to see what those brakes weigh im still on stock s10 spindles and brakes
I don’t own scales (yet), but my guess is 3000lbs as it rolled into my garage.
Official GM book said somewhere in the 31-3200 curb range, but Travis has a sixth sense for weight.
@@travisblack417 ya there about that stock. I’m wondering what you’ll end up at. I front end tubed mine went rack and pinion. It’s getting a lc9 and powerglide hoping to be as close to 2500lbs all steel all glass stock floor board no back half
@@turbomonza1561 sounds like we have similar ideas. I really want to see how fast I can make this thing go and keep it on the stock suspension concept. It’s literally the same as a 4th gen camaro and grub worm does 6’s. Small tire FTW.
@@travisblack417 unfortunately I can run the stock stuff as my car was cut up and done with a crappy frame brace kit and hot rod type 4 link so I cut that out and went gm a body / g body style 4 link
That car was worth some decent money to someone but not now
What's your definition of decent?
Well I guess there would be some controversy over that no doubt , y definition is if you can get somewhere close to what it was new which would not have been that difficult with the right sales person involved sometImes if you can't sell something raise the price it's not hard to sell something like that these days if it was to get an L./S swap 5.3 would be a cheap easy way to get an amazing rock so;I'd damn near bullet proof bottom end oh and I forgot idiot proof as well why I waited so long to jump on the L/S wagon but they are a far cry better than anything of the previous generation
Needs a fan shroud.
Has one, just VERY in the way so it's off the car right now.
There's nothing wrong w that hei curve it put a hot module and a hot coil on it and why would it be anything less than an expensive billet distributor I've had great luck just doing what I said especially curving especially with a stock motor like that they love advance quickly and respond really well to it
You need the same Alternator setup as your El Camino has
I’m not sure that will fit. There’s only 8in from the face of the head to the radiator itself. The alternator needs to be set back further, basically sitting over the intake manifold.
@@travisblack417 is there an easy way to mount the radiator further forward ??
@@lancecooper4646 not really, also the stock one is a single core, so if anything if we run a thicker aluminum we’re going to have even less room
Let me save you some aggravation when you put the Sandersons in do 2 things PULL the MOTOR mounts they are CLAMSHELL style WELD THEM UP SOLID !!!!!! take your STEERING SECTOR SHAFT while you have it out and grind about a 1/2 long area where the 2 shafts come together right where it passes by the tube on the header !!!! If you dont you may get interference from the shaft since it is oblong shaped! If you dont and it hits it will kinda lock up the steering as it rotates !!!
I want to see how much you get rid of UNDER THE DASH and the whole interior
DUDE LOVE MY AEROSPACE COMPONENTS FRONT HUBS am converting the rear this winter You can get some tips on that conversion on my VLOG
ua-cam.com/video/6sPEnj0VJi0/v-deo.html
Saving this. Fantastic info
Are you selling any of the parts off this car?
Uh maybe? I haven’t thrown anything out yet
What do you need? A/C is R12 so it'll need a conversion. Interior is dirty and crumbling so you definitely don't want that. Unless you have a driver side roof/seatbelt trim piece, the one that goes from the top of the A to the top of the C pillar, I need one of those. Still don't know how intact much else is but it seems solid ish. Exhaust is next to go if you need any of that.
Who ya building this for? Gonna race it or be a cruiser?
Everything is a race car
@@travisblack417 needs a 100 shot then
Obviously it's never gonna see the street again or be a comfortable ride it's a one yr one state only car w a 350 from the factory and he's just destroying it that's sad very sad to see at least to me it is someone would have paid really good money for that car the way it was not anymore tho if you want to make a race car find something thats not so rare I say I also say he has no clue what he's done look around see if you can even find a car like that and if so what it's worth bet you might find one , maybe but I doubt that even smh
@@travisblack417 With this cast iron Chevy 350 and other iron blocks, how well do aluminum heads match with the block ?
->as am very well aware, which occurred with the many production iron block engines with aluminum heads, the head gaskets 'blew', ruptured, easily and the heads warped also
->the main cause is due to the significant difference between the expansion, contraction rates, amounts, etc. of aluminum compared with iron.
->am aware the head gaskets within those decades, were not the modern metal, multi-layer as are commonly used since.
->however the essential heat, cooling differences between iron vs aluminum are still significant !
->Please tell me You experience, thoughts, ideas about this.
->thus, for every reason, using an aluminum engine or full iron should be the proper combination, correct ?
-> how much does the metal differences also affect the intake manifold match with the heads ?
->also since You are stating "everything is a race car", then is the fuel system set up for Ethanol, or at least E-85, E-88, etc. ?
->perhaps are You planning to have a Flex-Fuel set up, maybe a ECU-PCM set up too ? or perhaps NOS, Methanol injection ?
Sincerely
@@newtonfirefly3584 complete wives tale.
I'm not a fan of holley carbs but that is a nice one for sure I've just never had any luck w Holley's always tinkering w jet changes etc I have always been a big fan of the rusty trusty old quadrajet carbs they came on everything for yrs and yrs and for good mileage due to the very small primaries and kick in the ass size of the secondaries for street able reliable all around carb it's the way to go put it on and don't touch it then it will run any engine it only feeds what the engine needs and no more that's why they only came in 750 and 800 cfm models because like I said on a 305 say it's only going to feed the amount of fuel the engine vacuum calls for and not ever be over carbbed
I have a bunch of original quadrajets if you’re interested
Nah I'm good bro thanks tho but right now I wouldn't have anywhere to put them or anything to put them on my old lady of 30 yrs just six months ago past away on me and since then things have gone downhill in lots of ways but I do appreciate the gesture and I would ordinarily be happy to take them because they are going to get even harder to find as the yrs go on at least good ones that don't have a warped air horn or some other issues that they are prone to having I just loved the sound they always make when the secondaries open it's the q jet moan they say and when I was younger my buddies could hear me coming for miles and not because of a loud exhaust I always thought that a loud exhaust just attracts attention to you you can have a good free flowing exhaust w out it being ridiculously loud a good combination of nice flow masters and the q jet moan was awesome and back then finding a good running Pontiac firebird or anything really was easy and cheap a good running Pontiac 400 that had a good tune and the original q jet and good exhaust to breathe would stomp all day on any small block Chevy powered car of the same weight all day every day fast for cheap kid lol; anyway I'm sorry about bashing you about that Monza but it was such a nice little survivor that you'll never find again is all and my mood has not been the best I guess I need a grease fix lol grease is like a drug I have to get it in my poors to be right and w out working on anything I definitely not right lol sorry kid
People assemble 1 gen small blocks with junk heads and wonder why they don't run. I don't fear the LS. ENGINES. 🤣💯.
Yo that stock low compression small cam 350 will actually make more power with a performer intake. It will lose power and torque with the performer rpm. There are dyno results all over the place. Not to mention a lil more hood clearance
It’s not keeping these heads
Did you dump levi?
No
@@travisblack417 why the different channels just curious i see a lot of comments on both channels of confused people lol
She is choosing to not explain what happened. Maybe I will one day if enough people ask.
@@travisblack417 understood, well i watched the video she released this morning and that guy on there is clueless, glad to have found your channel you were the knowledge behind that channel keep up the good work!
@@travisblack417 I would like to know but will respect til you are ready to say.
Is that an A.C. car? If it is, wanna sell all of it?
Dm me
@@travisblack417 A buddy of mine has a skyhawk with a 350 in it, that was originally an ac car, but 20 or so years ago it was cut out, and he would like to make it work again!
Don't be so quick to ditch the AC
No
I'm with Al can't believe how much I enjoy the AC in my car. But for a race car yes it can go.
@@thebandit4393 AC's one of the reasons I bought the car but it was still R12 and the whole system needed to be gone through. Plus it was VERY in the way for all engine work. It'll have AC soon enough but for now I'll suffer lol
@@alecweinstein4990 I totally understand. I have some experience getting factory AC up and running with R134, so I'll offer my advice and help if you need it. I"m not trying to push my opinion on you - do what you want to do - this just my $0.02. First, I don't see a major downside to ditching the heavy A6 compressor or the crap tube & fin condenser that came factory. A6s are great, but incredibly heavy compared to an aluminum case Sanden. And the tube and fin condensers will be a major bottleneck with R134 - they really need to be replaced with a parallel flow condenser anyway. Second, I personally would keep the evaporator suitcase, vacuum controls, dash controls, and ducting installed until you are sure about how you want to do AC. That system is ugly and space-hogging in the engine compartment, but it incorporates a large evaporator and functions for recirculation and defrost that will work better than an aftermarket system. Unfortunately your system is probably VIR (valve in receiver) and there isn't a good way to adjust the suction throttling valve (POA valve located inside the VIR) on that system, so you would have to convert to an accumulator / cycling system. I am local and happy to help you sort it out. Best way to reach me is through Instagram @chevyhotrodder
@@thebandit4393 Super useful info, thanks! I know the H body used a weirdass compressor, same as the mid 70s toronado. Definitely looking into it.
chevy monza ss,oldsmobile starfire,buick skyhawk..best gm h bodies
Chevy didn't make an ss monza lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅
Any of those that came w a six or even 4 cyl could have easily been sacrificed and drop a built 350 in to race then it's no big deal to destroy the car by hacking it all up who cares why do all that and it's a stock engine anyway dude needs to put the bubble down for a while he's going nine thousand miles an hr and not thinking it thru to get the best outcome for the smallest buck oh let's slap a 4 barrel on it take everything off for weight reduction and run it that's just fucking stupid especially on a car that rare sorry guys I'm just really pissed off to see him do this to that car fuck man
@@glennmanchester3666 What 4cyl cars? The motors were literal trash in those, and with the rust issues they were scrapped immediately. The only reason this car is as intact as it is is BECAUSE it's a 350 car. Same reason you can't find a base model 4cyl Mustang II notchback but you see Cobra IIs everywhere.
Exactly my point a one yr only one state only 350 cid 75 Monza find another like it anywhere I'm willing to bet you might find one of you look hard enough bit more than one that's still a running driving car not very likely most of them were either beat to death or crashed or like your doing slowly dismantled in the na, r of weight reduction and then beat to death and beyond and never ran anything under 14 seconds of they got into the 13s it was on a cold day going down hill oh and also had a 410 gear swap then ended up in the crusher like all the 4cyl cars
Just saying
It's skipping skippy
You want to shave weight off this car? Get Fiberglass doors, them doors are even heavier then Camaro doors.
This thing will effortlessly run under an 11.5 with an LS, at which point it will need a 6 pt roll bar. When it has door bars in the cage I’ll cut out the crash beams in the doors to lighten them up. I don’t feel like this car needs to be a bunch of fiberglass like my firebird.
No powder steering either come on bro the car doesn't weigh anything anyway your not gaining anything by destroying it
