mine does have OD, but not standard.. it's a prostreet built A727 with a gear vendors OD tail unit. I know the ones you're talking about. common in minivans.

My Monte was a Z34 with that 3.4 in it...
Dont EVER wash out the engine compartment with a high pressure deal at the car wash... Gets right down into the spark plug boot...
Also they are a real BITCH to do almost any work on. Changing oil is a MESS... Timining stuff is frequent to wear around 100-120K... Fix it before it busts/blows the motor up...

really? What do you mean by the oil was a pain to change and stuff. It just ran everywhere when you took off the filter?

The oil filter is like 5-6" above a cross member and its on an angle. So when you crack it lose it pours right on out, runs down the engine case and onto the cross members and goes both ways on it. So it turns into a large drippin piece of crap...
I changed the oild myself on the monte maybe 6-7 times, rest of the time I had Wal Mart do it... Especially in the winter...lol
