Hey names Brandon. Live by raymond, NE. Been meaning to start an account every since i picked up a 2008 LY5 and 4l60 with 18k for $900. I was planning to LS swap a fox body but after aquiring the super low mile 5.3 i felt the junky ford didnt deserve it So I decide its finally time to give my high school car the engine it deserves.

Its 1978 Monte Carlo. got it a few months before i turned sixteen. Been a father son project every since. Found 91 305 TBI (turd) with a 700r4 and everything to make it run for 350. Which at that time i thought was cool. Drove it for a year then we started on the body and paint. With the help of my autobody cousin, it was finished in 6 months. After giving the lil 305 all it could for a little over 5 years, it smokes a little and getting a little old for me. Heres some pics of how it sits now.

Heres also a video i made of the car from start to finish....https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...15446390788173
