Love it, don't see many of them these days..friend had one when I was in highschool with a 4-speed. It did ok w/ the 305 (that's what I think it had) backed by the 4-speed. If the engine runs good, I'd do the exhaust and focus elsewhere on the car (wheels, brakes, body, etc. if needed). Is it an auto or 4-speed car? Nice project!

The cars got automatic. TH350 i guess.Havent checked though.
I agree on keeping the engine stock, and focus on the rest first. There`s some rust in the rear quarters that needs attention, Then a descent paint job should do the trick. Some larger rims and tires wouldnt hurt either, but we`ll see..

Engine runs well now, tested it today : )

Neat project, I don't see many of those where I am.

Thinking of moving the Dynamo so i can run the wires beside the engine, not ontop of it :p Also thinking to take off the waterpump and servo to clean em up and re-paint them and change the gaskets/sealings just to be sure it's 100% waterproof ^^

I have a 77 With a V8 if you need to know anything about Monzas let me know I can point you in proper direction.
I can let you in on some ways to upgrade the brakes, rear end and such.
I have buit 2 an half Monzas so far, working on getting my 77 Up and running.
As for headers several companies make hearers and manifolds for them.
I use the Hooker headers and for the record the other version I was told have been discontinued. The ones I have rune the rear tube through the brake line holes.
THe 5 lug up grade uses S10/Gbody spindles and require adapter from Bob Gumm from over on V8monza.com.
He also sells motor mounts but they wont fit with some headers.
I made a swing arm suspension from a 2 wd S10 rear end and cut down leaf springs.
Email me and Ill give you my cell and you can call me and we can talk Monzas and Ill try to get some clear pics for you.
And actually for me I really believe that a 4wd rear end might fit better ,just havent had money to get another one.
Long story, get in touch and Ill help all I can.
OH and do not throw away those brackets for air and alt and such, I can supply you with different brackets if you really want.

Why don't you use the regular phone and call one of those operators that lets you call for .02 Euro/min to States? We have a couple of companies here in the Netherlands that supply us that service and I would be surprised when there are no such companies in Norway. Besides that you could also use Skype or phone thru internet . . .

You need to control both your income and your expenses, my young friend!

[Andreasu]

Wish my dad would let me use then regular phone ; )

[neki67]

Maybe you can convince him when you show him how cheap it is and that you will reimburse him?

[Andreasu]

We'll see : ) thanks for the tip
