My fav at the show was the f-1 w/ the twin-turbo'ed small block ford. Purple suede and silver. sweet. The turbos were remote located in the front...
Mains and Rod bearings won't solve your oil pressure problem. I did the same thing for a 302 that I bought in a box-replaced the mains and rod...
Money is an object. I can barely afford a sticker from SoCal Speed.
Anyone know of a business that narrows 9" fords in the Inland Empire SoCal?
Maybe sticky rings; if so a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil mixed in your crankcase will free em up.
OK, one last suggestion... Price the paint, primer, synthetic reducer, gun, respirator, and all the extra little things that you need, then go to...
I put up painters plastic all around the car that I had parked on a tarp (in case of drips) and set up a exhaust fan blowing out. The one thing I...

Does anyone out there have a sure-fire cleaner for garage floor oil spills? I have combed the Tech Archives, but no luck. Please help before the...
