what kind of tranny would you put in a monte to make it a manual? would it be a v6 camaro tranny or what?

Think about what you just said. A camaro is rearwheel drive, you would need a manual transaxle. Just curious, but why would you want to do that anyway? I can't think of any 95-99 gm cars with the 3.1 or 3.4 that had a manual transaxle.

now that i think of that i did say somethin stupid considering the fact that a camaro is rear wheel drive. But i was thinking of putting a Lumina Z34 twin cam engine in it, or just the five speed out of a Lumina. I am just trying to see how fast and customized you can make a 95-99 monte. I know they are like 3300 lbs but not after some smart thinkin and some customizing!

Find a 3800 Lumina/Monte and do some mods on it, it will out run a 3.4 DOHC, with automatic not even stick.

Nothing wrong with expirementing. I agree, find a 3800. It is the best engine gm ever made.

dope i guess i will do that, but one of these days when i have a lil extra money i am gonna make one mean monte with a 5-speed, I'm pretty sure it would be the only one, atleast in omaha. thanks but what kinda mods are there? are there turbos or superchargers for them? whats better for the 3.8 v6 block turbo or supercharger?

some of the new 3.8's are supercharged from the factory, ie. grand prix GTP, but your lookin for a beefed up blower i take it..?

yeah can i take a series two and build it up, with a suped up blower, or turbo? like the old grand national 3.8 turbo, could that be done with a series 2?

Keep in mind that when cars come factory with blowers or turbos they have lower compression ratios than the same naturally aspirated engines. So just slapping a super or turbo on it may not give the same results as if it came factory.

well if the series two came with a factory blower then i dont have a problem right?

well if the series two came with a factory blower then i dont have a problem right?

ya but they only have 240hp, which is ok..but an aftermarket blower would boost it alot higher.

ofcourse i was just saying that cuz well idk i got confused about what abaird said.

well i guess since i am the only one still checking my thread then why not comment. is the engine in a 95-99 monte a series 2 or what?

I think in 98 they introduced the 3.8 series II on the monte z34, replacing the unreliable x motor, the 3.4 dohc. Monte's had the series II thru 05, with the L67 (3800 series II supercharged) from 04-05. Those are real torque twisters. You could probably get one of those engines from an older grand prix gtp (97-03) or regal gs (97-03). The riviera, bonneville, and park ave. also had this engine optional. There are a few gm manual trannies for fwd. I think the grand am had one as an option and the new g6 has one. I know these are different engines and chassis, but some parts may be compatible.

L32 series 3 will also work. i have a '95 ls with 169,000 miles. i'm gona go for an L32 off a wrecked impala. cut a sunroof in it. nice car needs better brakes, rear disc, and suspension. coil overs from aim industries. or sell it and get a '95 lincoln mark viii.

well i doubt i can find a series 3 but i could look for a series 2, my best bet would be the junk yard, after all there anit shit in omaha, couple of quick cars but my buddies slp camaro owns the streets pretty much the fastest in omaha, it pulls high 11s. do you think its possible to fit a v8 in a monte and make it rear wheel drive?

Sorry I havent clarified what I meant. What is it that you didn't understand? The 3.8s that were supercharged came from the factory with lower compression ratios than the ones that didn't. No matter if they are series II or not. So if you slap a blower on a series II that was never supercharged, you would still gain considerable power but may not have the performance of a factory engineered supercharged series II 3.8 That is what I was getting at.

First of all, the series 3 is completely updated, using electronic throttle control and all kinds of other computerized stuff that would be very difficult to interface with an monte carlo. Anyways, impala's never had L32's. Only the 04-present grand prix's have it. 04-05 Impala ss's had the L67.

so L67. or can always get a lincoln mark viii. dodge stealth twin turbo. instead of dumpin more money on this fire.

Bravo.
