I'm in NEPA. I send out for Antique tags on all my old cars. Just fill out the paperwork and send in the title and check. No pictures. No...
The steering wheel on my 49 F1. The hands-on connection to yesteryear. [ATTACH]
I like both chopped & stock. However, I hate hate hate chopped pickup trucks. It looks terrible to me.
Great idea! But I already got it done with regular bolts. I just tipped the whole engine down, tightened the transmission bolts, then raised it...

I'm going to have to calm down and think on this awhile. My first thought is small block chevy time. I need to think of cost of course. How does...
Ok , looks like I'm doing a new cam and lifters. There is a damn hole worn in #1 intake lifter. What am I in for? How far do I have to go into...
Ok, I finally got to get to attacking this problem. I hope my video link works. But the #1 intake valve isn't moving. Collapsed lifter? Wiped cam?...
