I cut mine in half and made shock mounts out of it.
I've owned a 292 block and a 2bbl 390. Either is good for cruising. I think going with the Y block is a good choice. That 390 didn't work out so...
My father in law blew up the 250 Six in his 77 Nova. I had a 305 from a Monte Carlo that I traded for a 4 bbl set up from a 350. The engine was...
JB Weld a blue Ford oval on a plain Chevy factory Sheetmetal cover. Then explain that it was a special engine project that happened to get...

I think AA springs are wider. It's been a while since I looked at once closely, but I recall them being wider. As for the thickness, perhaps it's...
The question to answer, is how well do you like how it handles and rides now? If you can't stand it, then go ahead and change it. But if you don't...
Yeah, my model A started with a cowl. It will be a real Frankenstein when it's done, with so many pieces from other vehicles.
I have also run 4 different 500 cfm Holley's on 5 different engines. Never had one smoke. I usually jetted them slightly smaller than out of the...
