I am building a 1933 Cadillac 370B V12 for a friend of mine for a tail dragger he is building (stretched, chopped, smoothed, etc, 36 Ford coupe)...
I was working on a burned car last year, and you had to heat everything up with a torch to work the metal. It was in a garage fire that was put...
I have done a disk brake conversion on several of the Chrysler forward look cars with Scarebird parts. I always use a ford 8.8 rear (usually from...
I have a soft spot for those Tork thrusts. I would do the 14's on front, 15's on back with a pretty serious lowering all around. I have a 59'...
I would build it up cheap, then sell it out of state with a bill of sale and tell them that it can't be titled in your state. Make some dough for...
I currently have a 59' Apache on a 91' C1500 frame. First off, if your truck was an 81', then it would be a square body C10. The C1500 is the 88...
They seems to have several ebay outlets, with most of them already listed on here. They are lowlife, lying scum. I unknowingly bought something...
I always wanted to see this car when it was on kijiji. I believe I asked you for the model number that was body tag under the hood. The reason...
Its a 1957 Plymouth 2 dr wagon. Rare car. Any Kansas resident want to help me out? lol I spoke to the border, and as long as it is a valid...
Why did I only hear about this now? I am in Marlborough and Framingham MA for work all the time!
I checked the Iowa DMV's site and they do not have anything about non residents getting a title. I would need one to be able to import the car...
Just like the title says: how hard is it to get a title? I see that bonded titles are available, but can a non state resident get one? There...
I just found this thread while looking up something else on a 57' Poncho Sedan Delivery I am buying. I guess I am going to necro a thread! I...
Well, my friend never did anything with the car and it has now moved on to another owner, and another guy we know. He has actually been working...
We put a 6-71 on my friends 451 stroker using a BDS manifold. We were using MP Stage VI heads so we used the 440 manifold. Since my friend is an...
The thick bearings are still easy to get. Throw a 350 crank in it, and a good set of 5.7 or 6" rods and it will rev like a 327 but has 50 extra...
I would build it .... but I am a masochist that way....
Ok motors. Don't like to rev, so keep it under 6K and they will be happy. Really need oiling system help if you are going to run them hard as...
I like that car, and really like the new color.
55-57 Pontiac seats are the same as 55-57 Chevrolet seats except for some minor differences in the seat covers and trim. I had a 57' Poncho seat...
Is anything good happening in San Francisco Feb 23-March 2? I will be in town for the RSA conference as the Moscone center and was wondering if...
I would rebuild it to check everything so you know what you have. A set of gaskets is cheap insurance. I personally would also replace the...
I am in Toronto, and found most of my cars through ads on kijiji, or on here. Do a search for all of ontario at least, and I personally would...
I have seen that exact same wrecker on a truck here in Canada - the funky booms really stand out. It was on a 1950's Willys...
How did you deal with the extra 7" of wheel base on the pontiac chassis compared to the chevrolet? The Canadian front fenders are much shorter...
Pull the head and see how the bores look, pull the pan and look at the bottom end. Make sure the clutch is releasing and none of the accessories...
Canadian 55' Poncho's were basically 55' Chevy's in pontiac trim, so unless you have one of the pathfinders or laurentians, it pretty much shares...
One of my dad friends worked at the casting plant in ohio for engine blocks and definitively said to us that a 010 or a 020 under the timing cover...
I have run many 400 sbc's without problems. The only ones who have problems with them are the people who think they are 283's and scream them...
It's a 5 Quart pan.
