That old man gonna learn some day throwing rocks at people's cars is a good way to aquire some pop knots.😂
What a beast. The whole gang that put this old girl back on the road take a bow. Great job fellas.
Love the way the cam is hitting.reminds me of some of my old cars in the mid 70’s
This is incredible progress! I love that you took it for a test drive and that it handled so well. It sounds fantastic, especially considering it just went back together. Can't wait to see more progress on it leading up to PowerTour 2024! 🐧 I'd be really interested in a behind the scenes look at how you troubleshoot the vacuum leak for the vents. It might be helpful to other viewers who encounter similar issues in their own projects. Also, those new wheels are going to look amazing once you get them on! They'll be a huge visual upgrade. Overall, this is a very exciting project! 🔥
Brings back memories from my youth of all cars sounding so good.
That bad boy sounds nasty! Hell of a cam in it for sure, go 3:73, good for street and strip. As for your vacuum issue, big cam motors do not produce vacuum at idle, you need an aftermarket vacuum canister for the street.

That makes sense as to why it started working once he was driving, but wasn’t working at idle.

Those "G" body GM's DO come with 1 or 2 vacuum accumulators, at least my Olds did (same bodystyle)
Sounds awesome 😍 love that chop. Exhaust sounds mean. I never knew a car from my youth can sound so good.
Hello Randy. The first drive of the 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS with the 500 horsepower engine and the new transmission.
Wow Randy love the sound of the engine! She’s gonna be a beast! Once you get everything buttoned up going to make a great power tour car. Congrats on everybody that helped you.
I know this may sound crazy but the fact that there was some hiccups and problems in this video gained you another follower. Seeing things not go as planned , hearing you say it took days to figure out some of the simplest things, etc was all so relatable, especially as I work on my 86 MCSS. Love this video and type of content !!!! Very much appreciated!

Thanks for watching and for the comment! It's appreciated! Enjoy your SS!
Absolutely love it. I'm not a mechanic at all, but I had the same problem with an El Camino they ended up swapping the torque converter to fix the RPM problems.
Sounds GREAT! You all did justice to the Monte. Takes me back to my days with my 68 Pontiac LeMans. Mom always said she could hear me coming a mile away.
You don't want to breath in too much back there. Nice car Randy.
Nothing like the sound of a cammed V8. In my opinion, probably one of the best sounding cars you have had on your channel. Its not overdone, just pure musclecar music! Great job!
I love how you have the air-conditioning ready to go. A lot of people do these motor swaps and leave out the air-conditioning. It’s a pet peeve of mine.
Congratulations on getting the Monte Carlo on the road Randy! Man! The chop on that cam sounds AMAZING! You are going to want to do that rear end for sure. When you start doing burnouts and hard launches, the ring and pinion are going to go bye bye on you. Sounds great Man! So far, so good!
I hope you’re feeling better. Car looks great sounds awesome. Good luck.
You did a great job Rebuilds, it sounds fantastic 👍
Pure awesomeness Randy. I'm happy your project car came out so well. Thanks to Santa, MWM and Dilbert. ❤
I would change the converter, that 2600 converter is more like 3000rpm converter. A 2200 or 2400 would make that car drive experience a lot better.
Auto Auction who? Now who can say Randy doesnt do rebuilds. Great job Randy and team.
Amazing! Can't wait for power tour! If you can, do the tour of Texas too!
I’m loving this project. That car is awesome and the engine and exhaust sound so mean! Once you get it dialed in, you’re going to have one hell of a ripper dude!
You should have a heater control valve that is in-line with your heater inlet hose to the core. The pneumatic line that you showed us allows it to open and close sending hot water to the heater.
OMG! the cam f'ing rocks..you have the best out the box cam hands down.... I think u should check your transmission adjustment.. it's shifting slow and extremely light.. ifi it has an valve body may need adjustment... A1 Randy 💪🏾🏁🏁a.nd get well soon
Nothing is like the sound of a hot V8!
Congratulations, she sounds Awesome! Horsepower promotes healing! 👍
I pray mine runs that good i been working on my truck for 2 years i can't wait to ride
See if you have the TV cable set right and maybe a touch higher idle. Looser convertors mask the shifts at light throttle. Sounds great!
Can you make one of those zen calming audio videos of JUST this car idling from the back? Man, I'd waste so much fuel just listening to it sit there and chop
The sound of beautiful music
Alright happy to see this particular content, Thanks Randy
It absolutely sounds fantastic. I love the chop.
#1, there is a gear in the transmission that drives the speedo. Change the gear and the speedo will be accurate. #2. some cam shafts are "rowdy" and thus they do not produce vacuum. check your lines if it is the cam consider a reservoir for vacuum. Nice work.
The cam sounds like a roller cam sounds really good
This is my new favorite stull up there with the 1930 chevy you had. Monte sounds AMAZING
I love the build!! The fast/untellable shifts could be because its a built engine and transmission
@autoauctionrebuilds Man Randy that sounds sick! I love the way it sounds even just at idle. She’s sure come a long way 👍🏼😎
Now you need to send it to the auto spa. Show it some real love.
Hi Randy take the vacuum line and put to the back of the intake. Carburetor don't have enough vacuum when at an idle
Hey Randy, I just got done watching your video on the Monte Carlo with you taking it for a test drive. It looks good and sounds good man. I can’t wait to see your next video on it. I hope you’re feeling better and I’ll talk to you soon. I can’t wait to see your next video. Whatever you have planned. I’ll talk to you later. Have a good day and have a good night.
I miss both of my 86 monte Carlo ss. Same color as yours randy just a beautiful car

I love that color ! What is the official color of this car . Dark maroon, dark cherry, or dark red ????
It sounds great. Awesome project.
Thank you so much for sharing.
The heater core adds more cooling if you're running hot in traffic. Turn heat wide open.
Great build!
That’s a nice ride.

That's a nice Beretta in your profile pic. Love the old Berettas and Corsicas.
I loved my 79 Monte had to add a new camshaft and and lifters also added second exhaust cruised 95mph all day no problem
Sounds fkn awesome randy..💯 your interior vacuum should be straight to your manifold at all times. It sounds like you have them ported (plugged in to the Throttle plate) Where you won't have enough vacuum unless the accelerator is open.. beautiful car. I've always wanted a Monty ss. But I was lucky enough to own a GNX.. loved and miss that car.😊
🎉Randy she's sounds great. There is no better sound then a v8 with some chop .love it
Sounds really good. I miss hearing my beast of a mopar. Over 647ftpt. Insane.
Glad to see you again. Hope you feel better my friend.
Sweet. Randy .. kinks will come to a end...... Great job 👍
What a fun ride! This is gonna be a fun summer, if it ever gets here.
It sounds wild Randy, love it. ☺️👍
Nice job . Don't forget the NOS bottle 🍼
Check that your vacuum is full at any RPM. Some of those ports pull vacuum partially. Many old Camaros I ran into that.
Nice it runs and drives it just needs more work then it will be a perfect car to take to power tour
Sounds fantastic you should do rear end.😊
That monte Carlo is going to be bad ass. I love it!
Love it randy had one new in 86
Sounds good. I need to change my exhaust on my SS.
Wow, Randy, that sounds fantastic. It's a fantastic job . It's been a pleasure to watch this project. Thank you Randy best wishes to you , looking forward to seeing more soon 🚙🛻👍
The monte Carlo is coming together Randy 😎😎👍👍
Randy &/Three Mike's Jacob did amazing build on Monte SS Gbody
Very cool. That was an uneventful maiden voyage. That doesn't happen very often 👍
Sounds great Randy - it's a keeper for awhile - my wife would go crazy and tell me to sell it for an SUV - no way! lolz
Happy to see another Gbody on the road
Love the new intro. Hope you're feeling better!
You need to get a lockup converter. Then when you cruise it can lock up and bring down the rpm and create less heat.
Cool project, should be a very fun car to drive in the tour.
That engine sounds incredible. As far as the vacuum issue goes the vacuum ball should be connected to a full manifold vacuum it may be connected to a ported vacuum on the base of your carburetor. Take a look at the vacuum source.
Awesome dude can’t wait for power tour!! Keep it up!!!

Sounds so good.
That's so Freakin Cool. I never had a motor like that. Would like that experience just once!!❤
Looking and sounding good Randy…
NICE RIDE!!
Great video Randy ❤❤❤❤
The stock rearend has 3.73 (GT4) gears. Perfect street gear especially with overdrive. Limited Slip (G80) was an option on these cars. Look at the SPID label on the underside of the trunk lid. If you find G80, then it has a Limited Slip diff. You will also find GT4 on that label which denotes 3.73 gears. Code Z65 denotes Super Sport Package and L69 is the HO 305 which was only available with Z65.

Yah,I think I would stick with the stock 3.73 rear-end gear. If I remember right,I think my 87 SS read lined at 95 mph in drive and shifted into overdrive. A lower rear-end gear would lose your top end.
Great video Randy. Rest easy and get well soon.
I have always loved that style Monte Carlo sweet car sounds amazing😊
Hi.., Randy , are you feeling better ., ? I like the Monte Carlo that’s pretty nice
I like the advert/intro. Could you give it a second more? That way it gives it some presence.
Hey Randy you might want to think about moving that vacuum canister over by the accumulator / dryer I had a Buick regal and it was over there and it was out of the way! Just a thought.
I put a 700r4 in my Chevelle with a 2500 stall converter someone talked me into getting. I had the exact same reaction. I hated it. I put a stock converter in the car. Much better.
Sweet 🔥🔥💪🤘🫡
very nice Randy love how you put does exhausts they look sooo good
You're on ported vacuum at the front of the carb meaning its controlled by throttle I suggest splitting it at the port for the booster shouldn't have any issues after that
You should definitely keep that Monte Carlo for a while. Who knows maybe you can give it to Nick as a first car after power tour that’ll be a treat.😂😂
Bravo, Randy, kudos Randy! Great job! The whole crew needs to be here for the official launching!
Good Morning There My Good Little Bro Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds
Love the channel. Just FYI to others, look at the monster reviews. I got a trans from them and got screwed over. Hope this trans works for you!
You need a staggered wheel set up must have bigger wider tires in the back❤ Glad to see you’re OK
Big cams sometimes don’t pull as much vacuum
You shouldn’t have done this randy. Especially after surgery. But we love your dedication and want to say thank you
Like the OEM Monte Carlo rally wheels, just switch out the old tires.
Wow, that idle sounds mean!
Randy that is awesome sounds great
