Monte Conversion


Recommended Posts

Posted

I own a 1996 Monte Carlo. I am wanting to do something kind of original with it. i was wonderin if it is possible to convert it to rear wheel drive. I was told by car enthusiasts in my town that i could possibly set it on a different Chassis. What serious modifications am i looking at if it is even possible?

oh its posasable, but a few questions.

1. WHY?

if you want to go fast for cheep theres always the L67 route

2. do you have proper facilitys?

because if you do its a assload of custom fabrication you gotta change around almost everyhting around,

A different chassis.......more like a whole new car. Ws are unibodies....the car is the chassis

nahh, in reality its been done a few times but by well funded parties. Modfications to the body include the hump for the lateral transmission and flared fenders to accomdate the rear end. The is certainly room in the engine bay for it.

 

Of course now that its been proven that an LS1 can be installed transversely on a 4t65 transmission I would find that a much more impressive project for someone to do in thier garage :wink:

I know it can be done, but realisticly, under a budget, which most people on this site are, its not worth it. Just buy a RWD Monte from the 80s

Just buy a late model racecar, swap interiors and headlights, and put on some street tires.

from what i understand the corvette or CTS independ rear bolts up pretty close. you will still have to modify a bit......

 

 

there are a few in the works now i am sure once they are done they will show pics and everything
