NICE!! what all have you done to it?..a friend of mine upstate has a Built 350 in his older S10 pickup..the issue he has is keeping the front wheel on the ground lol

 

I have a 91 S10 with a 350 in it too- but it's just a stock 350. I think that's going to be my next project (if I ever get enough $ together!). The Monte's got a 540- Merlin block, Eagle rotating assembly, AFR heads, SRP pistons, Vic Jr intake, Comp hydraulic roller, built TH400 and Strange S-60 with a Detroit locker. It's got a 10.2:1 CR and I just cruise around with it on the street. I still need to set the pinion angle and put some DR's on it and get it up to the track though. If I can get a fuel pump to last longer than 3 weeks in the Jimmy that would help lol.

 

Awesome! I love montes!! my dad is an avid collector of first gen montes, he just finished a 502 ss build!

 

not going to lie but that thing is ****

 

**** good or **** bad? lol

 

Since when are **** bad? LMAO... what was the horsepower rating on the DYNO?!!!

 

hahaha good call! well unfortunatly he hasn't got around to getting a dyno test yet I really want to see those numbers too!
all i know is the block puts out 600 hp and 684 ft. torque lol!!!

 

put down 498 hp, 492 tq. Nathan that's an awesome looking Monte! I'm working on getting something older to fix up Here's a pic of the 540. Still need to replace that upper radiator hose with a nice looking one!
