The 1970 Monte Carlo is a unique car. The first year of production offered a host of options with the 400 big block and the only optioned for a 4-speed. This car is nicely put together and is a numbers match Tonawanda code big block. The car is one of 589 built in this 400 4-speed configuration. The most outstanding addition to this car is its documented heritage. It is complete with original bill of sale, protecto-plate and warranty book, window sticker, sales brochure, owners manual and keys. This Monte Carlo, built at the height of the muscle car rage, is a first year model and optioned with the big block and 4-speed. Its red exterior lends to its notoriety. The mileage is not kilometers it is miles. It also comes with 1970 plates that you can register as yours.

I'm trying to picture this beast with those body colour accented wheel discs in the trunk dusting off a Duster or some such unsuspecting cocky driver. Air conditioning is a nice add on too. Nice machine.

The 402 was termed a 400 by GM just to confuse us all...!

In 1970:

a 400 Turbo Fire was a small block, 265 H.P., 2bbl, RPO LF6

A 400 Turbo Jet was a 402 big block, 330 H.P., 4 bbl, RPO LS3, available in non SS models

An SS396 engine was also a 402 big block, 350 H.P., 4 bbl, RPO L34, only available in SS models ( high lift hydraulic cam )

or a 375 H.P., RPO L78, still a 402 big block.

Thanks
Randy

On a 1970 Monte Carlo you could get the Turbo Fire 400 LF6 small block at 265 horses. You could also get the Turbo Jet 400 LS3 with 330 horses. The LS3 was actually a 402 but called a 400 on all nameplates for those models  that used them (Montes carried no engine displacement badges except for the SS454).

For 1971 the 400 small block was dropped from Monte Carlo and would not return until the 1974 models. 4-speeds were still available on Monte Carlos in 1971 but may have been dropped somewhere around mid-year production. Power Steering was also made standard mid-year.

 

Back in 1979 I saw the first Monte Carlo 4-speed I have ever seen in person. It was a 300-horse 350 (factory L48) car with a Muncie M20 4-speed. It was for sale in the summer of 1979. I saw it again in the town of Dundas, Ontario in 1980. The car was repainted 1974 Medium Dark Green metallic and was rolling on 15x8 Corvette Rally Wheels. Interior was dark green all-vinyl with buckets & console. It had the matching woodgrain on the dark green 4-speed console. It also had factory gauges and also had an added Rosewood wheel from a 69 Chevy.

I have also seen a Classic Copper with black vinyl roof & interior 1971 Monte Carlo with an L48 350 and a factory 4-speed. I have also heard of a Placer Gold 1971 Monte Carlo with an LS3 (402) and factory 4-speed, and manual steering! That one was early build.

 

I have heard that due to the relationship between the clutch cross shaft & the unique wheelbase of the Monte, you can't just use Chevelle parts to make one a 4-speed. Or some such difference, I can't recall exactly what it was.

         They interchange!  the Monte is longer in the nose     same wheelbase (116 inches), therefore same shifter parts   smile
