The Monte Carlo SS is riding on a stock frame with tubular suspension components and fully adjustable racing shocks. The steering has been changed to rack-and-pinion – not power. The brakes are full racing from Wilwood.
Under the bonnet is a 388 cubic-inch Dart engine block (LS format) with a set of Frankenstein cylinder heads and a Holley intake manifold. The assortment is put together by Thompson Racing Engines. A Fuel Tech FT600 controls powertrain electronics. Cramming copious amounts of air into the engine is a ProCharger F1A. Exhaust includes a set of stainless-steel long tube headers and Borla mufflers. The automatic transmission is a TH400 with a Gear Vendors electronic overdrive unit. Quick Performance is responsible for the Ford 9-inch rear end.
Without further ado, let’s get this G-Body strapped to the hub dyno and start counting horsepower. Think it will make it to 1,500hp?
