My friend Jimmy did it. I don't remember how much grinding was required, but it didn't leak when he was done. He took out a 4.56 spool and put in...
Ok, I just didn't know if the arms were forged or cast. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Can the arms be cut and welded? I need to shorten the arms on my pair for the rear. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I live by Hickory but I'm in Charlotte all the time for work. I need a shop that knows jow and has the equipment to do it. Thanks.
My brother has lusted after a neighbor's old model a for about 10 years. Ross has tried to buy it multiple times, but the old man wouldn't sell...
I am in the pieces/parts stage. Putting together a lower-budget but not shoddily-fabricated hot rod. I picked up a 46 ford half-ton pickup axle...
Thanks, guys!
I picked up a 1949 8N Ford tractor with a loader to putter around the yard with, clear brush, etc. It has a flathead 4 cylinder with an updraft...
I'm looking at an old Crown bus to convert into an RV. It has a 6-71 detroit in it, and a 5spd trans, 2spd axle. All I know about these detroits...
There's also an "ultimate 235 hop-up thread" on here somewhere; all that info is applicable.
Your car is so amazing it almost makes me want to put mayonnaise on my pommes frites! Almost. Great work!
mercruiser marine as well.
I will never run stahl's again. Horrible experience. I had hooker fenderwells on a mild 302 back in the 80's and they fit good, but I understand...
An FE would be easier, but I would do a LOT of cutting and welding never to have to deal with that stupid reservoir can thing that was...

Lower it, reversed chromies with whitewalls, split manifold on the 6 with porter mufflers, then drive it. You've got a good thing going here.
If you just run local, leave the 223 in it. If you do any interstate time, although I am a committed inliner, it may be time for the 292.
I have a 56 two piece front end from them and it is very light (box flew out of the pickup on the highway on the way home) and very strong (only...
I like two doors better, but about the fifth time my kids crawled over the rollcage to get in the back and kicked me in the head, I found a 4 door...
Any aftermarket heads are so much better than any stock head, that the price difference isn't worth mentioning.
On my brother's 55 which was done in flat black and grey primer - no it isn't a r@t r*d - he had everybody who helped him out sign the trunk in...
Also, make sure that the radiator bracketry is sealed up so that all the air going in the grille is going through the radiator.That will help out...
+1. They also make Weber carb setups, cams, inexpensive aftermarket heads and headers for these. I bought an 85 Celica GTS for my son for his...
If you want to use cans, it's best to have a puddle of aluminum to drop them into so hey won't burn up (melt the old piston first). And as said...
Yes, if you machine the bolt holes to 1/2".
Yep it'll stall on the low end of 3500. As far as heat, just put on a good cooler. I usually run the biggest B&M cooler. However, don't be...
Technically, 6-8 degrees leaned back is actually positive caster, and the way you want it. I've heard of as much as 10.
I personally like the 2 piece in a long bed pickup. My longbed S-10 also had a 2 piece driveshaft.
