well i cracked my block and my engine is toast. i have been looking at new cars recently then today the ex husband of a lady who works with my mom says he has a 305 engine out of a monte carlo ss that he will drop in for me for 200$. Now i know zero about cars so this is gonna sound dumb really dumb probably. But its from a 1988 ss am i looking at gaining or losing ne horses? the stock engine was a a 305 v8 tbi. sorry if this is like the stupid question ever. i know this isn't the right forum but i posted int he motor forum and haven't got ne responses i need answer asap so thank u for your help!

 

Then ya probably should post it here.

 

omg u get on my nerves so much seriously. I think all u do all day is sit on this forum and tell people wrong forum or do a search. Honestly if u have no input why waste your time telling people to search? this is a Q and A forum of course questions are gonna come up over and over again. Would it be easier to either keep your mouth shut or actually answer the question then to tell people to search a million times?

 

I don't think this is the correct forum. Perhaps you should try a search.

 

Yes, that is exactly what I do.

Stick around, you will see how annyoing it gets. I could see posting it here if we didn't have a board for it- but we do. And you posted your question there. Just because you didn't get an answer quick enough doesn't mean you should post it on other, non-related boards. Be patient, you'll get an answer.

 

but he is postin in this board b/c it gets the most hits a day. seriously look at the repleis for this board and compare it to the others..he is tryin to get an answer rather quickly and then he just gets people that dont ever shut up and post for no damn reason. why dont u just try to help the poor but b/c as he said he knows nothing about cars. and he wants an answer quickly.

 

go here to find out horsepower for the third gen.

now you just have to find the power for the SS engine.

 

Then don't use it Jack ***.
This is for apperance and detailing.

There is an engine board.

Next time, use it, and you might get some helpful responses.
I'm gonna have to go with Metallicamaro on this one.

He posted here to get an answer quickly... well look what that has gotten him- nothing.
