Thanks for the memories!!! When I was a little kid in Milwaukie, Ore I'd ride out with Dad to the Bomber on Milwaukie Blvd. When it first opened...
I have spent my entire working life in the road, building and maintaining traffic signals. In 38 years I've seen a lot of bad driving and clueless...
I'd suggest keeping the bore to 3-5/16. The power difference between 5/16 and 3/8 is virtually nil on the street. 3-3/8 is max, no room for...
You can take it from a guy who loves '35's and owns a damn nice one, that is THE finest '35 I've ever seen. You sir are an artist and that is pure...

I've had a 200r4 behind a stout (around 450 hp) for a couple of years. As mentioned, better gear spacing and smaller than the 700. Needs at the...
A guy that likes '56 Fords AND Boston Terriers is cool in my book. Congrats.
I built a Traction Master style setup for my coupe. Before I installed them I couldn't keep the thing on the road if the tires spun. Car launches...
