Thanks for the replies, guys. Luckily, the car is a dedicated XO or XXO deal - I hate to think about how much it costs to run one of those cars...
Haven't been here much for the last couple years. Frankly, been too poor to screw with cars, and it's just easier to forget about 'em. Except,...
BTTT. If there's anybody who's got (or can get) a truck/trailer/dolly, Please give a brother a hand! I don't have access to a vehicle that'll...

The Edelbrock cams are simply repack'd Blue Racer/Wolverine. Vic Jr. had one of his guys screw 'em into an engine and run it on a dyno, so now...
When I want to buy... it's rare, and almost impossible to find when I want to sell... it's an orphan that almost nobody wants. I've got a whole...
There's two ways that come immediately to mind: throw $$$ at it, or a power adder. Well, there went the easy way! :D I'm guessing a 6-71, a...
But that's why you're still so pure... :D Anyway, re the OP's question, the smaller sizes mentioned (135-165 width) are available in 80 series....
Well, hopefully some enterprising soul will look this guy up, and make a good package deal on the 'obsolete' stuff he'll throw out to put in stuff...
Hey Benno, knew I'd see ya' on this thread... got to wipe the drool off my keyboard, though. BTW, I've had that TD body for a couple years now,...
The first shop I worked at had a pressure pot that would force fluid into the system through the cap you clamped on top the master cyl. Worked...
I've heard that you should run at least some of your fuel thru the blower case. Those roots superchargers tend to make a fair bit of heat when...
How the hell have I missed this thread all this time? One thing I saw in a car stereo mag was a guy making fiberglass kick panels. He was...
I'm sure bankers get all kinds of people trying to pass all kinds of scurvy shit off as 'collateral'. Oh, yeah, I'm sure they've got some kind of...
Maybe it's just that mine's a half-ton, but it rides pretty smooth. Except for when it's idling... I found that the 75000# clutch was a lot more...
I spend my time at the beach kicking sand in peoples' faces, can the H.A.M.B. diploma help me, too? I wouldn't be so aggressive, if my car was a...
I've got a TD or TC body... same kind of deal. Hope to piss off the restorers someday myself. It's probably the oldest, since it was likely...
Took a delivery job; bought a $300 Geo Metro. All of a sudden, the mileage makes me a profit. It didn't when I started out delivering out of...
Back then, people would just help a guy out when something like this happened. Nowadays, the plane would be impounded, the pilot would get a...

Damn cool build thread. Subscribing to this one! -Bill
I'm with Gator: cars and bikes are popular now. Rat rods have become a fad. So anything old, even something fubar and rusty now has an...
Hey, thanks for the info Roy. I'll try to keep that filed away in the mind where it can tease me when I see a 427 that could fall into my '53......
5 speeds > 4 speeds; with ya' on that. Now, how hot is that H-M engine? Is it going to like being driven under load at 2000 RPM? If the cam...
Sorry, bro, gotta' weigh in and go with Squablow on this one. What you've got here is a beautiful (or, was when it was built), high-end car...
One trick I heard of is running 2 of the carbs from a single 4V engine (bigger than the ones put on 8bbl engines)... believe it applies to '50's...
