The beginning

I purchased an 86 Chevy Monte Carlo SS that has been a car I've wanted for a long time. The car is mostly stock in in good drive able condition considering the year. No major rust and a great start to for the future plans I have for it. After some research on powertrain options I came across a Craigslist ad for a LM7 5.3L Chevy truck engine and transmission. I brought it home a couple days ago. The biggest pieces are here and ready for the transformation. I will upload pics in next post. The search for more parts begins.
