Incredibly, in the middle of the oil embargo, the Chevy Monte Carlo kept growing in popularity. In 1976, 353,272 Monte Carlos were produced. Chevrolet again played with the grille and head- and taillights, but left much of the exterior the same. Two trims were available: the base S Sport Coupe and Landau Sport Coupe.
More engine options were added for this model year, including the smaller base engine, a 305-cubic-inch V8 rated at 140 horsepower. Optional engines included a 2-barrel 350-ci V8 rated at 145 horsepower, a 4-barrel 350-ci horsepower V8 rated at 160 horsepower (this was the standard engine for California), and a 400-ci V8 rated at 180 horsepower. The 454-ci V8 was dropped from the engine lineup.
Hi guys, what size engine do you recommend to put in a 19176 Monte Carlo to get around 425 HP? Do you recommend Chevrolet Performance Engines or Blue Print Engines? I am in CA and this needs to pass smog too. New engine will pass smog right?

Will a 572 fit under the hood of my 76 Monte Carlo or will it need serious fabrication to fit? I know I'll need a beefier transmission and rear end along with a custom driveshaft and beefier suspension. It currently has a 350/TH350 setup.
My car will easily go in reverse but putting it on drive it doesn't move
