first drive with burnout LS v8 swapped 06 monte carlo fwd to rwd conversion project frankenstien 22

- first drive + a burnout in project frankenstein.
we start with an 06 montecarlo that is front wheel drive. it is to become rear wheel drive, via an aluminum block 5.3 ls, backed by a 4l80e transmission, and a 8.8 mustang rear axle. see how we do it in this vid, follow along as we go through the process of going from wrong wheel drive to right wheel drive. from v6 to v8 it can only get better! the future might include nitrous, a turbocharger, and possibly a 6.0 or 6.2 LSX for more power. plans are to run it at the local drag strip once it is finished, hopefully thats sooner than later.
similar years of these w body cars are 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007, pontiac grand prix, Chevrolet Impala / Impala Limited, Buick LaCrosse / Allure.

I’ve had a few of these. GM should’ve made them RWD from the factory. Nice job 👍
Thanks! 👍 thanks for watching
That's the first time I ever seen that model do that burnout impressive custom all I need some bad ass rims now 🎖️🏆
@@louiegonzalez6730 yeah it sure is nice to see the rear wheels spinning, no more wrong wheel drive
I honestly dont know who had the stupid idea of making them fwd in the first place 🤦🏾♂️ they needa be fired
instablaster
Had many telling me over the years it can't be done. When it come to these cars and you got the time, money, patience, skills you do pretty much anything to a car. Good vid👍
def takes time, money, and skills so its does not end up being a hack job. thanks for watching
This body style of Monte Carlo was more muscular looking than the 1997 - 2002 Camaro. Too bad GM didn’t have a clue. This car as a RWD would have been a big seller.
yeah i always thought those years of camaro looked like a geo storm. no rwd means boring
I agree. And they would have held a strong value. I love chevy but they gave the crown to dodge/jeep. I would also love to see the newest impala with the ss rwd v8 option.
🤔 I had a 92 Pontiac Grand Prix, and loved that car. It looked great, but I just couldn't get over it not being a real-wheel drive. I'm glad to see it's possible. You you did what GM should have done. 👍
Leave my catfish alone!! The 02 WS6 decimates all!
@@bmo1659 someone converted one of those to a rwd
You are the man! Alot of car enthusiasts would love this done. It's been great watching you put this together
thanks, i appreciate it
"Nicely Done!!"🍻 hat's off to buddy for making it possible when some say it can't be done..
thanks, still not 100% done, but close. we will be taking it to the dragstrip, along with my s10 and the monza mans monza real soon. thanks for watching
Glad to see this because I didn’t think it would ever work
@@noahdriscoll7500 its been done tons of times before this though
HI Cheveefarmers congratulations on this year Chevy Monte Carlo bringing it back too the way the older Monte Carlo were and that's rear wheel drive, the way GM'S should had did !!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Well said!
Man this is absolutely insane! Man what a project. I own a 2000 ss. Can't imagine what kind of time went into this build. Love the fact he has to go out and find some blacktop. Nice job on the build. Love to know what state this is. Thanks.
thanks, lots and lots of hours. 3 people on it and it took over a year. we are in iowa
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 Thanks again.
@@toddpaiano926 I’m actually doing an All-Wheel-Drive conversion to mine I’m going to put it on a 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada SUV frame and putting a pro charged LS3
engine in it🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.
@@joeythekid5042make a video on it
What all us monte owners want ‼️
for sure
Nicely done with the Monte Carlo. Turned out really well.
thanks i appreciate it
Ive wanted to do this to a 04’-05’ monte ss in yellow supercharged since i was a kid.
Good work, and thanks for the motivation!
thanks, the rear is the easy part, we still do not have the steering completely figured out. we believe a mustang front suspension would work the best, they unbolt and look to be a good / easier swap then what we did.
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 like a mustang 2 set up? Ive thought of that too, what about the gear from the catfish camaro?
@@hittinitsidways not the mustang 2, the front suspension from like a 99, what we used the rear from. instead of junkyard parts like we did, we should have just bought a complete mustang for parts. not sure on the camaro stuff, lots of possibilities out there.
Great work man you did your thing with this Monte Carlo on making it rwd 🔥🔥🔥🏁💪🏾 love the burn outs and test drives
thanks, we are going to the dragstrip with it also, so that will be coming up
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 this will definitely be good an can't wait to see that video 🔥🔥🔥🏁🏁
Sounds and looks great man. Great job
thanks!
so awesome, i was wanting to do this to my 2011 impala, but seeing everything you had to do makes it seem like alot of work to make it a v8 and RWD swap
a set up right one, that you can actually depend on and enjoy driving is ALOT of work, we are not 100% done either, still got steering and brake issues to deal with before its "peace of mind" finished for good.
Buy a caprice ppv
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 If you would’ve converted It to All-Wheel-Drive It would’ve been even more insane
@@joeythekid5042 for sure. thanks for watching man
Outstanding job bro. Awesome burnout and the sound of the engine was badass awesome
thanks, glad you enjoyed it
I swear I've had the 5th and 6th gen montes and this looks factory inside. Nicely done.
yeah the inside turned out really good, the front steering is the disappointing part, still mulling over how and what to use to fix that. more to come on it, just had alot of personal stuff happen thats slowed me down on my vids.
Omg you finished that's dope af. I am going to rwd swap my 07 gxp.
thanks, its alot of work and $ but it can be done
😎🇺🇸🙌I watched you from the early start on this Monte build !!!!!Great project 🙏
thanks, i appreciate it, about time its moving right? LOL
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 I own a 1976 Monte Carlo glad mine is RWD 😎🤙🙏
already ahead in the game for sure
Yes sir hard work pays off keep them hands moving brother great view brother
yes sir, thanks for watching
I’ve been waiting for this. 💯💯💯💯
awesome, thanks for watching & commenting
Dude you’re my hero you did it you should be proud my hats off to you
thanks, still need to sort out the front steering though
I have the same exact car but black and I want to do this badly but its hard to find somebody to do it. I’m impressed for sure!
its tough to find someone to do it cause its alot of work. these major projects are DIY projects
Freaking awesome dude. I've been looking for a video of a RWD v8 monte carlo. I wanna see an 04 one like mine
thanks, i know there are others on YT, not sure if any are 04 though?
You might want to put your Axle stubs in the front wheel bearing as a nut bolt to keep them coming apart it happened to me it's scary when it happens
yeah, sounds like a good idea, dont want to loose a wheel
Awesome. My first car was a 85 monte carlo ss. I want one
g body ss are cool cars. thanks for watching
Glad to see someone got theirs done lol
yeah most are pipe dreams, LOL
I seen one dude had twin turbos but never uploaded any more videos
@@Eazyauto yeah there is alot of that on here, makes you wonder if they fell off the face of the earth, or aliens abducted them, LOL
Doing this to our 05 as with an LSX....... SUPERCHARGED!!!!! VID COMING SOON!!!! NICE BRO💯
cool, lots of work to convert one we have plans for a bigger Ls in ours
Great job bro 💪🏾
thanks
That is awsome good job. How they should have been
sure is, no boring front wheel drive anymore
Cheveefarmers 3 questions I want to ask you, 1 did you fix the steering issues ,2 does the car have running heat ,and 3 did you get the brakes fix other then that great Job on the Chevy Monte Carlo !!! And the big plus that Ls V8 engine powering the rear wheels, awesome job and I love the custom gauges !!! And 1 more question are you going to git the windshields working again !! 👍👍👍 👍
1, we have not fixed the steering issues. 2, it does not have heat, its geared towards more of a summer time car, they use salt on the roads here and it was way too much work to even think about driving it in the winter time. 3, yes the wipers will work again, just havent hooked them up. and thanks for watching and commenting, i appreciate it
That's how a Monte Carlo should be! RWD.
sure is, no more wrong wheel drive
Nice drive along.She sounds nice.Purrrrrs like A kitten.Shifts hard.Geeeezzz Farmer you don’t need A track we’re you live.Town is your track lucky.Nice ride man so fun.
thanks man, but i just got to know what everything i own / build runs, ive raced just about every vehicle i own, and try to get the owners of the builds to take them down the dragstrip. my 2 fav places to be are the junkyard and the dragstrip, i have no idea how all these street racers get away with what they do, im out in the rural area and cant raise any hell without a cop showing up
This is so cool !!!
thanks man & thanks for watching
love how it turned out! if i may ask what hood or hood scoop is that and how hard was it to install i love the look !
thanks, stock monte hood with a cowl scoop cut off a 96 s10 hood welded on.
Hey cheveefarmers, Great job on the build. I love it. Its been one of my dreams to convert some cars from front drive to rear drive. I'd love to do some 80's and 90's Cadillac DeVilles, and a 2000 Buick LeSabre and Park Avenue. Except I don't have the space. Maybe you could build a Cadillac or Buick from that era someday.
thanks, yeah these conversions are a major project, we have other projects lined up before we tackle another one like this, not to say it cant or wont happen. i need to finish my 67 firebird, i have a 69 ss chevelle to do and a 55 chevy also
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 I'm looking forward to seeing your future projects, especially that 67 Firebird.
This popped up in my feed, I’m gonna have to see how you did the swap from front end to rear end
the whole build is on here in a playlist.
😍😍😍badass! Love it
thanks, i had a little fun in this vid
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 i bet you did. Nothing like your own fresh finished product of hard work and can enjoy it😀. I wish gm made the option of both set ups where it converted ready
@@teewild290 yeah that option would have been a smart idea, GM aint what they used to be back in the day
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 nope but leaves us to come with our own ideas which is still unique.
Hey man, nice work! I'm wondering about your steering issue. What is your steering rack out of? I've got a similar build going on, and I'd planned on using a rack from a 2000 Camaro. It's a front steer setup, and I hadn't anticipated any issues. Not like that at least. Lol
late 90's early 2000 mustang. which is front steer. its the spindle swapping from side to side that changes the turn radius
Nice 💯
The thumbnail makes look like an actual 2006 UA-cam video.
the 06 was doing a rwd burnout. but not in 06, LOL
I have been looking at a lot of corvette stuff of the same year as my Impala, wondering if a front subframe and suspension from a vette would work in an Impala with a little fanagling.
its possible, we thought of a corvette front subframe too, but we do not have any easy / cheap access to one.
Luv the project I got a 2007 monte carlo ss I wanted to do the same thing and everyone said it can't be done smh.....would u be willing to customize another one and if so what would something like that cost
it can be done, takes alot of time and money, these projects are more of a DIY project.
Dale would be fucking proud of you
Good job. Did what they said couldn't be done.
thanks man
Awesome job man I wish you could make me one 👍🏾👍🏾
thanks for watching
Absolutely love this car! How can I do this to my impala?
the whole build is on here. you could copy what we did or do something different. i would recommend using mustang front suspension. the original GM stuff is not the way to go, if you make it front steer. works fine if you leave it alone, but there is no clearance for an oil pan...
I want a 2007 SS body/frame and full drivetrain and suspension from a 2010 and up Camaro 2SS… would be a monster
So why a carburetor? Why not efi? I think you answered this before, I can't seem to remember though. Good work tho, glad its doing so well!!
what the owner wanted, the factory efi has some clearance issues with the windshield. due to the height of the LS from the oil pan to the top. thanks for watching
I wanna do this to my 93 lumina. Thanks
no prob, thanks for watching
I hate fwd cars but always wanted a RWD W Body 2000-07 Monte Carlo SS or A 97-03 GTP Coupe or 04-08 GTP or GXP Grand Prix
rwd makes them alot more interesting
I wanna Do My 2003 Chevy Malibu like That. Man You Shed Light on All That Darkness They Where hidden..
it can be done, you just have to decide if its worth it, thanks for watching
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 Nooo, Thank You Boss😎
Is it something your willing to sale are how much would you charge to build a 08 impala.
Hell yeah brother! What’s the ratio on the rear axle? It’s sitting pretty good at 60mph around 1900 rpm 🤷♀️
3.73. that overdrive and lock up does wonders
Chevy shoulda just did that in the first place!!
for sure, makes you want to go smack who ever is in charge at GM
Alright glad to see the run was successful. So who actually owns the car ? I mean you had hands on the project and vids from day 1. Few more touches and tweeks and finally be all set . I still have my 03 Monte Carlo SS but no way I could go thru a conversion like this. They really shoulda made em rwd to begin with and the SS models should of all had a v8 . But just one of those not so bright GM moments lol. Enjoy the new toy - lotta hard work and time put into that project, time to enjoy !!
thanks, & thanks for watching and commenting. we started on it around the time i started doing vids on here, thought it would be a good series to show a how to do kinda vid, anyways the guy that owns it, we have known for a long time. he has commented on some of the vids, we like to call him money bags monte now... LOL
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 I hear ya. I’ve been keeping up with the vids and glad was able to see the Monte going down the road and lil tire spinning was nice to see. Much anticipated and sounds good, awesome project and great details. Tough build lots of hard work Well done !
got more on it coming up, taking it to the dragstrip real soon
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 oh boy. That’ll be fun . I tune in when that vid get up loaded. You got the s10 ready to roll too? Idk how ya all have the time for these builds but my hats off to everyone involved. I like seeing real deal projects Meaning parts off this or that and figuring what works what don’t etc it’s just down to earth.. I also seen the vid of groundhogs under some of your cars in the field. Hopefully your method worked out.
the s10 first drive is next. i hate to admit it but im a little behind on posting vids compared to what has been done, i / we have always been driven to get things done, we might not get in a big rush to get started but we don't F around when we get going, LOL. always been budget builders, why we are at the junkyards alot. yeah i hope that worked on the groundhogs, havent seen any so.... thanks for watching, & commenting i appreciate it :)
Ive had dreams of doing this to an 05, but also doing away with the auto which i havent seen done yet with these conversions
yeah the owner wanted an auto, ive known him for years, he does not get along good with manual transmissions, i have yet to see one he cant break, LOL
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 lmao one he can’t break
Also....do you have videos on the start up of the build
whole build is on here
Congratulations on your build. What's the total cost
I got questions on how hard was it and cost ?
how much would you charge to help me make my intrepid an intrepid "hellcat" lol? (hellcrate motor with awd conversion. with some chassis reinforcement so the power doesn't twist the unibody construction up like a pretzel)
Super kick ass build! I have a 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo and I have been wanting to do this since I got the car in 2011! How much do you charge to build a car like this? I love it!
thanks, these builds are more of a DIY project. if you pay someone to do it, and to do it right, you might as well go buy a RWD car to start, it would be way way way cheaper.
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 true! You have done an amazing job building Frankie! You have also done some very extensive and expensive looking metal fabrication, super impressive! I guess I’ll just stick to my RWD Pontiac G8!
probably be easier just to put a monte body on the G8 than what we did. LOL
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 all I can say is, you’re build is absolutely amazing, thanks for the awesome content! Maybe one day I’ll make my 06 M/C RWD and when I do I’ll be watching your videos over and over again!
WHAT WAS THE AVERAGE COST IM LOOKING INTO DOING IT BUT ALSO GOING MANUAL
What would you charge someone to do this for them? 👀 I’ve thought about getting 06-07 SS but want it to be rwd with a 6.0 or 6.2
I’m thinking about doing this to my Monte Carlo how much did this project cost I’m thinking about buying a 07 Camaro ss and swapping it out to my 07 Monte v6 to make it a rwd v8
How much would you charge me to do this to my SS? I’m local in iowa
What’s a est amount to perform this conversion
I wanted a ls4 for my car to be rwd but the problem is the starter position with a rwd transmission, how did you get around that?
i dont remember having any starter clearance issues. the whole build from start to finish is on here in a playlist, worth the watch if you have the time, covers everything we did to it.
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 ty, I had heard I’d get problems with where the starter is placed if I swaped it to rwd transmission but idk.
I found a real cheap 5.3 from a truck so I won’t be needing that. but tysm for the reply
Good ole Iowans
somewhere between 2 rivers
Sweeet!
This could have been a concept car
I want to do this in the future but with a manual. Do you think that’s possible and if so do you also think you can do it for me?
a manual would work, just be more fabrication to make the clutch setup work properly, we have other projects lined up before we tackle another one like this. i need to finish my 67 firebird, i have a 69 ss chevelle to do, and a 55 chevy also
I have a LS1 and T56 transmission for sell on Omaha Nebraska Craiglist
Is there a video on how this is done?
i have a playlist of the whole build on here.
😮how much was the owners bill???
I want to try to convert mine but I don’t got much experience it makes me sad
LOL, we all have to start somewhere. this kind of major conversion is prob not where you want to start. it would take alot of time and money to complete.
wanna build a regal next lol
still not done with the monte 100%. takes alot of $ and time
How can I make my 2008 ss impala all wheel drive? 🤔
Put the body on a Tahoe frame
How much did it cost overall to do this conversation I have a 07 Pontiac Grand Prix Gxp I want to convert
i do not have the actual numbers. we were thinking of a different setup for the front, maybe a redo of it. it is in the 5 figure area easy
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 did you do a motor swap as well
@@2Ls4_Cjay has a 5.3 with a 4l80. the whole build is on here from start to finish, check it out if you like
How much do u charge for this
Update???
Is there a kit for it’
no
💯💪🏾
thanks man
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 great job I sure wish these LS4's came rear wheel drive. Love what your doing bro. 💯💪🏾
@@skyisthalimit83 GM made a big mistake not making more rwd cars, &
thanks for your support
About how much it'll be to convert to RWD I have a 2007 SS
depends on exactly what you want and who does the work. there can be no set price, too many variables, inflation is crazy right now so compared to what is in frankie i would say add another 20% more easy?
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 I wanna put a nice High performance LS with supercharger in it
U got enough roads
plenty but not alot of close ones i can raise hell on for too long, LOL
😍😍😍😍😍
thanks for watching
could this be done for around 20k?
if you did it yourself.
What do you think it weighs?
just a guess would be 3200 lbs. would like to weigh it though
You still Fiddling with it?
not lately

Hi how will this cost to do my monte?
i get this question alot, not 100% sure that the front end is the way to go, i have other ideas in mind on how to do it differenty so the steering geometry is correct, so i will not quote a price. thanks for watching, i appreciate it
How would u charge to do my 07 MC

Do you have any ideas on how to fix the steering geometry??
most likely a different spindle that is factory front steer. have not dug that far into the problem yet.
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 okay you’ll have to update us when you figure it out... and what did you do for a driveshaft?? Did you have one made ? Or where you able to use one out of something?
@@superknuckles884 will do. used a crown vic driveshaft, just remember depending on what trans and where the engine is mounted would change the driveshaft length
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 okay that’s something good to remember... thanks for the advice and keep up the good work love the build
How much you want for it?
not for sale
I heard a 750 carb makes those work...
going to try the 600 and a 750 on it at the drag strip
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 I have a blue 07 Monte Carlo SS 5.3 deleted cats... I wish I could get mines rear wheel drive. 🤦
Put the ss body on it plz😭😭😭
plans are to do that
Would u build mine I can pay up front
FWD would have been successful if they were a success. Turn the 3.29 gears to 2.92, 15hp/25lbtq increase, reliable transmission. Would have been a much more successful car commercially
fwd v8 worst part is the trans are known for going out, if you beat on them, drive it easy they last, but what funs a v8 if you dont beat on it, LOL
why rwd swap
Yeah I think Chevy messed up they should have made the money Carlo with a V8 rear wheel drive setup and the first place maybe you can sell your idea to Chevy
that would be cool if i could sell the idea to them, but knowing big business they prob would sue me for modifying one of their vehicles, LOL
@@chevyfarmersgarage1955 never thought of that.well fuk them.you have a cool ride and makes me want to do something around fwd into rwd.thank you.
@@gmangasco6700 thanks man, there's alot of them out there to convert. GM biggest downfall was dropping rwd cars as cheap transportation that gearheads could have fun with
Gm gm would have made the monte and impala rwd . Or at least the ss package. The 9th gen ss was one of my favs as a teen only to get one and be disappointed to find out that they all fwd and the transmission weak and can't handle to much hp. The the 96 impala was nice and I was disappointed to see how the monte and imp fell off compared to the remake of the charger and challenger.
The 86 monte ss was nice until the 90s, and impala was nice up until the 8th- 9th gen. The 8th and 9th impala look great but I want to be able to move quick without frame cutting, welding and basically re-engineering the car.
But I to want to salute you with that monster monte. That is great work you did and if chevy was smart they would contact you and get you in the engineering room asap.
thanks, when GM went to basically all fwd cars i lost interest in them. at least chrysler didnt abandon rwd, but they were the company that mostly went to all fwd before the others back in the 80's with all those k cars and minivans running around. gm and ford seen chrysler was selling the heck out of them and followed right along with their versions, forever changing cars in the USA...
!!!!!How much money do you want for it inbox me I wanna buy it!!!!
sorry man, not for sale
Want to sell
no, not any time soon
