yeah, it seemed strange to me too, I would figure a Chrysler 8 3/4 or ford 9".
This isn't it, this one was running there but chassis wise it looks almost identical.
I haven't been around for quite awhile. I lurk around but nothing to post for awhile. My 46 pickup went to France and i have had some non hamb...
It really is amazing how well it has been preserved.
Haha! I was waiting to hear back from DEQ, it was a hazmat call unrelated to the building the truck was in. Very large, very old pressurized...
I haven't been around much for awhile because my current project plays into my age more than this forum. It's a 1978 4 speed Trans Am so not...
It's kirker paint and just like anything else you get what you pay for. That being said I have painted with it twice and as long as you know that...
Here you go, find a block out of a 90's pickup add this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-1-94205/ 393 cubic inches in a box :) Scot
Yeah, depending on your altitude where you live, 11 to 1 is really high. Anything over 10.5 to 1 your probably looking at least E85 or blending...
A new kick around here is "ethanol free" gas. Has a white handle on the pump and we are seeing it more and more. I know of 3 stations just within...
Lake Havasu, Arizona could be on your way between LA and Vegas. Amazing city, it is the home of the actual London Bridge. They dismantled it and...
Time zones between Russia and the States is a huge issue also. While Bobs is open for business they are sleeping over there:) Scot
Looks like coolant to me. I had an O/T suburban with a 350 that had been hot seized by my brothers wife. Pulled into the driveway, it died, steam...
If it isn't leaking it is consuming it, it really is that simple. So now you need to figure out where it is going. Check the oil, if it smells...
That turbo'd 2.3 is going to blow your mind. I kinda like the lil 2.3's. I had a Merkur XR4TI (remember those?) Turbo 2.3, T5 5 speed and an...
I agree on the turbo thing. A lot of the problems facing turbo guys and spooling, lagging etc. have been solved in the last few years. I just like...
One of the most pissed off cars in my high school parking lot was a 70 big block El Camino. You could hear it coming a long ways away with the...
I Had to google it to understand it better so I get what you are saying. I should google BEFORE the post instead of after. haha I still feel a...
I always took the term to mean converted to a tractor like form. But i would still say yes, in some respects. Scot
Yeah, I don't watch promod much, just the streetcar shootouts because several buddys compete. One is a nitrous car the other centrifigal so I was...
I have always heard the turbos have way less parasitic drag, you don't have a belt turning anything. I know in Drag Racing the hardest part has...
Yeah, and nitrous has ONE extra oxygen molecule, Imagine 99% :eek:
The last problem I see is releasing that type of pressure at a volume high enough to feed the engine. The valves on high pressure bottles have a...
I did think of the difference between the PSI, but what would kill you on the big bottles would be the volume. As Squirell pointed out, you have...
570 to the ground, add about 30% for drivetrain parasitic losses, guessing cause I don't know ANYTHING about the drivetrain, LOL. But 30% will...
I love really inquisitive threads, it brings out all the smart guys . I'm not one of them but I'll throw in my .02 cents. I see the same...
Good post Al, I'm really not as closed minded as you think, I was just asking an honest question, which is why? I've heard a ton of different...
Yeah. He was asking in an earlier post about just putting a car bellhousing, or in your terms, the 4 5/8" bellhousing in his truck what should he...
You might be surprised what will fit LOL. If you look at the car in my avatar it had way longer springs in the fron too, it sat about 1/2" off the...
All I have is what I see, and that is in fastest street car shootouts drag racing, you only see 3 things: Tons of Nitrous (Most Common)...
