I just ordered a set of u bolts and some 2x2 square stock to make'em. Thanks all.
They're out of stock..
I want to lower the 39 Poncho 2” but can not find lowering blocks that are 2” wide. Anyone have a reference? I’ll also probably be needing...
Brand new EMS panels. USA made. 18 gauge steel. $200 plus the ride.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for all the insight. I do not envision this car ever seeing a hole shot or enough acceleration to worry about axle wrap. At worst I’ll...
So I’m reading a lot about pinion angles. I get it. But.. if I’m striving for 1-3 degrees of angle, don’t I need to know my final ride height...
I have located the engine where it needs to sit on the frame. I've bolted up the transmission to the engine. With everything in place, the body...
Thinking back to the day… Why I didn’t want AC in a hot rod? Because it robbed horsepower and that I turn would increase ETs…or the run to the...
3 weeks of 90* weather with high humidity? Oh yeah, we call that Spring. :D
Now THIS I like.
Ouch.
Very nice.
Actually..going back to a SBC in the Poncho.
I can live with that.:rolleyes:
Anyone ever mount AC with double hump heads? (with no accessories holes).. yeah…I’m a pussy, but I’m a pussy in Florida and July -August they...
I was on the hunt for one. They’re hard to come by. I found a guy with a few of them, but he’d rather die with them sitting in his shed.:rolleyes:
I like where this is going.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it was a valiant effort, but that big a55 engine just won’t squeeze into the narrow frame rails. So close, up yet so...
Thanks Ray. It’s nice to see you understand the issue exactly. Somehow we tend to get sidetracked on the pros and cons of various BOPs and miss...
No 700r4s we’re made with a BOP pattern. I happen to own two 2004R trannys. Hence my desire to use one.
I have the 39 Poncho that needs an engine. I want it to bolt up to a 7004r. I borrowed a 70 Pontiac 350 to see if that BIG frigging monster...
“but I LOVE my old Pontiac motor for the charm of running something different.“ Which is exactly the only reason I’m exploring this option. A...
The plan is to replace the missing X with something like this.[ATTACH]
So if I pick up this set of manifolds, they should give me two options. Whichever one fits best wins.
[ATTACH] I just found these on Facebook marketplace. They appear to be way shorter at the flange. I’m thinking they would work maybe…. Just...
So...being unfamiliar with Pontiac heads... the bolt pattern allows the exhaust manifolds to be reversed?
You have photographic evidence of your setup? Yours is a 40 and mine is the 39 “small” coupe. Maybe that makes a difference?
Well…as much as I’d like to use this Pontiac motor, its not gonna happen. It’s just too damn big and the Pontiac peculiarities aggravate the...
So while helping a buddy today on a 70 Camaro, I stumbled across this jewel buried in the back of his shop. A 1970 Pontiac 350. I snatched it on a...
