I finally got my old 350 out and got the new 506 in, here are some pics: http://groups.msn.com/ChevyMonteCarlo/aubreys71monte.msnw?Page=1 :D Theres a few pics on page 1, but most of the are on pages 2 and 3. There will be more to come as I still have a whole other camera full of pictures that aren't developed.

Looking Good...Hey I have that same tranny !! 3 years without a hitch so far (sound of knocking on wood).

Is that 506 a stroker 454??? looks great!

Looks good. How many more day's till we fire it up?

Geez, that's a lot of space you've got there, looks almost like a smallblock in a Chevelle. :D Let's see some videos after it's broken in.

That's great, and the pics remind me how a first gen Monte can make ANY engine look small!

Best of luck, Thomas

Wow that Monte sure does make that Rat look almost like a V6 in there. :D

Looks good. What's the spec's on the heads?

Not long before I can start it up now, maybe a week or so, only a few more parts left to come. The great thing is that it was broken in on a dyno so I can start it right up and drive around, even race it if I want to, no break-in necessary. It's a 454 with a 4.25" stroke and .100 overbore which comes out to 506" total but is still dwarfed by the huge engine compartment, LOL. The heads are Pro Topline Pro Thunder Iron 320cc heads, 2.25" inlet and 2.18" exhaust ports, fully ported and polished. I'll get some more pics up as soon as possible :D

yeah ain't the engine compartment great. I can stand in mine between the water pump and radiator...
