The Jalopy Journal
Not HAMB friendly, and not cheap, but you might consider a dry sump to gain clearance. Some of the roundy round guys might have a used setup a...
Although a pain to keep clean, I always liked the wrinkle black on Street Hemi valve covers.
A knowledgeable parts man is a godsend. I used to occasionally buy special bolts from a local Caterpillar repair shop, things you couldn't buy...
If you're on a budget and don't have a rear end, I wouldn't dismiss the S10 rearend altogether. A wide variety of ratios are available, and posi...
There's good advice about the cowl on here. You have to have something to start with, no amount of measuring will replace the real McCoy. Just...
Got the correct clutch fork? Wouldn't be the first to have the wrong one, and with age and shadetree mechanicing they can be easily switched.
Regarding the Graham, I sort of like it, it's different, glad someone else owns it. The 55 Chev whatever- just goes to show some peoples tastes...
An automatic might be easier to drive, but with a 235 they would be real power soakers. Not sure about the 700r4, but TH 350's will take about 25...

I had a 64 Corvair with a 4 speed in it. I'd wind her up until the valves nearly floated then sidestep the clutch. That thing would launch like...
The pendulum tends to swing both ways. I retired after 45 years of automotive related electronics, in the private sector first then government....
A photo from a very old album, bought at an auction. Most of the pics were from WW1, though this one is a bit later.[ATTACH]
My dad bought a 61 Dodge Seneca with a slant 6 engine. I would occasionally look under the hood at the engine, a big lump of mystery. I...
Long ago I had a car that I stuffed a Street Hemi into, with a 4 speed. Don't know the hp, but it was a blast to drive. But with manual steering...
When I was young and dumb I never wore them. Once I had some really potent carb cleaner, the kind you dunked the blown apart carb into. I just...
If you are a young adult, just get the best sleeping bag you can afford, a good tent, a few companions and enjoy! At my age, a heated camper is...
