Mine's still kicking, so long as there's not a ton of snow on the ground. Considering I'm in the tuning phase dealing with hammering the throttle...
I call mine the mistress because I spend inordinate amounts of money on it and it makes the wife jealous!
Thank goodness for smart things like safety gear. No shop should be without something like a fire extinguisher IMO. The other thing I will say is...
I think it would be a pretty decent build, throw some 1.94s in the 305 heads with some mild port work and a valve job add a basic cam and you have...
Something else I will be willing to say is do not be afraid of the some compression with it. It's 104 octane, IMO part of the reason why milage...
This should work fine with a set of Impcos on it. They are very simple, and usually HP limited. If you're going to run a lower power level you may...
Tools? Imperial Eastman if you're looking to do a lot and want top of the line.
For thin wall tubing I've seen people sand fill to bend with the HF bender before. If you do it right and compact it properly it keeps the pipe...
I have three of these engines, one in my OT vehicle two more in the garage as spares. The first one was a learning curve, I built it for $600 in...
The Aussie 6es are a different beast. Yeah you can use one of the crossflow heads on a US engine with some work, and it will make a whole...
Actually get 2 liftime warranty TFI modules, keep one in the glove box. Aftermarket ones are a craps shoot at best. When my buddy retrofitted the...
You can use the money you saved to get em coated, wrap em, hell shoot some BBQ grill paint on em. I bet you'll keep a lotta people guessing on...
For you guys with power steering the Hydroboost from an Astro or truck could be another option. That's probably the way I'm going.
The other thing someone has not mentioned is that if you even go to a "mildly" modern brake system they have redundancy built in. Sure it's not...
Something that comes to mind is the primary length. If you have one you may be wise to use an infared thermometer to check the individual tubes at...
For you non-unzipping people I am putting his list below. I would throw my .02 out, for some time I did actually keep a list of things to do. I...
Any of you guys ever do the Speedway rims with custom centers? I am thinking a set of 15X10 or 15X12 steelies with baby moon caps. 5X5.5 is a hard...
I call my project heap "the mistress" to my wife. I don't think she gets that yet! 67 Skylark, probably powered with some crazy 455 and paired...
Actually, I don't really like Summit or Jeg's sites on the topic of site design. I think someone should make a site designed like mcmaster-carr....
Oh yeah, btdt. Had a few interesting neighbors in my day. Where I live, it's street parking pretty much and some times there are a ton of cars...
Been drooling over the E-line thread. Wife says one unfinished project at a time. Such a shame.
I have a cheapie 1/2 impact that is utter junk. I will probably be looking to buy a used Chicago (not central) pneumatic that is older to replace...
Greetings from sunny (although really cold) Joliet. We're about to the point of the year where most northern car guys starts questioning their...
