Than somebody other than the factory stuffed them under there. Really if the 8.5 came in Montes than you wouldn't be seeing the 8.5 going for $1000+ in the parts for sale section.MCSSes are a dime a dozen. Over 100,000 of them built in their six years of production. The 83-84 models with the THM350C came with 3.42s. The 85-88 with the 200-4R came with the 3.73. All 7.50s.

Only the 84-87 turbo Buicks and the 84-87 Cutlass H/O-442 came with the 8.5 from the factory as standard equipment.

I'm beginning to think a lot of people cant tell the difference.
