Bowtie Overdrives...I need say no more.
Oh my god. I just spit out my coffee. We used to sing it like that when we were kids too.
You need a fan shroud. That should fix your slow traffic overheating problem.
If ur switch goes ur fan might run ur battery dead.
Ok, I think I read a little more into your post than what you meant and I apologize. However, they didn't need to let him get his car minus the...
Do an investigation to see if they "THINK" he's a criminal? Really? Sorry Sir but that's not the way it works. Wish it does but it doesn't. It...
"Ching Ching". Looks like we have another winner. Dude, seriously, you saw the markings in the motor. What do you expect? The cops to ignore an...
LOL...I actually laughed out loud, yeah that makes sense....a police officer is going to defraud an honest citizen by filing a bogus...
This isn't about "decked" engine cases, it's about numbers that someone tried to cover up for some unknown reason. Although it doesn't take a...
That's pretty big for a system. I think I'm just gonna old skool it and leave it alone. It runs good now. I was just thinking of improving it a...
Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm still tossing around the idea. It runs great right now and did well in 105 degree temps with the engine...
I have a 72 454 in my 58 Caddy. Will it run better with a cold air intake system. I've been looking at them. I need a new air cleaner and I got to...
You gave the thief too much credit, he probably stole the punch and the hammer too.
I don't think the cops actually said it was "stolen". They said the numbers were altered or defaced somehow. Apparently that's illegal in Texas...
Um...ok, so if the cops locate YOUR stolen car you want them to leave your car with the person that has it (thief) and then investigate the case...
Dude go get ur car and don't ever put anything on it that has any numbers that look like the abortion in the pic you posted. If the cops wanted to...
I want one.
Yeah, cops are pigs...until they find a motor or car that was stolen from YOU and you get your ride back...then what are they?
Ok. Thank you. I feel better about my RPM's after this thread. Once again, Thank You everyone. I learned a lot.
"Low" meaning RPM's or speed?
Wow. Alot to learn from all you guys. Once again. Thank You for all the info. I think I'm gonna keep it where it's at and be happy. I love this...
I got 11 mpg at 70 and 13 at 75. Go figure. I'm gonna have to do 95mph to get the mileage I need. Oh well. Can't argue with the laws of physics....
Yes Sir. I'm getting the vibe that I'm good with the motor and the gearing that I have. My next question is does anyone know what RPM is going to...
Is that ratio for a stock 700R4?
Where did you get the transmission gear ratio?
???
You've seen me driving around town haven't you.
I don't know what the rear end ratio is. Maybe someone could chime in. Its a stock 58 cadillac rear end. I really appreciate everyone's input. I...
Economy is sort of what I had in mind. I know it's a BB and my options are limited. I was thinking I want the motor to be purring along like it...
I have a 454 (.030) in my 58 Caddy. It has an RV cam and a Mighty Demon 650 carb. The heads are stock. The tranny is a 700R4. I'm at 2100 RPM's at...
