Might have been Hot Rod or Car Craft. Regardless, that was the result. The stock gearing combo for a rather stock car is VERY hard to beat. As is the automatic.

Thumbs down Re: 5-speed tranny?

305 = Chevy. Ergo, not something we discuss here.

I just out of the Monte Carlo SS "business" and bought a GN. Go look on the Monte websites. I was considering doing the same swap, but sold the car. There is a kit you can buy for the 80's Monte Carlo that converts to a straight drive. I feel that it may work on a Regal, most everything is about the same.
