Yeeeeah buddy, my birthdays gonna be at the beach this year!
Bob, do you sell posters also? I think I bought one from you last year. I remember the Hamb banner with all the signatures.
I get mine from Universal Tire. They usually run around $15 a tube. Priced them out from the local NAPA and they wanted almost $50 a piece. Just...
Has anyone used the new expanding rubber plugs? I used them in an old jeep where access was an issue. They also worked nicely for plugging up...
Pictures fine on the mobile app.
Too funny, Im working on a 30 Coupe for a buddy of mine that will be going down to the Charlotte area. This one will be running the hopped up...
On an A with a SBC I would run front brakes. The car im building now WILL NOT have front brakes, but it is also much much smaller with a less...
I just did a Pontiac recently that did the same thing. It was through the valvetrain not the exhaust. Pulled the valve covers and you could feel...
Yeah, Henry realized how bad the engine stamping idea was. Change your engine and now your illegal.
I think as long as you sell the housing with it all is good. Same with frames or engines.
Just picked up my first flathead v8 Saturday. Not a 32 but still a Ford.
Just use a 32 hood top.
I have had good luck with GE silicone II available a home depot and places like that. Ive used it to hold on emblems and actually had it rip the...
Stroker=big money, cam=still pretty high total, intake and carb=not so much money. I would go heads, intake, carb, and see how she runs. Unless...
As everyone else said call them. Other than that the tires may be on a ship, too large for plane?
So we would need a bellhousing from a 50 or so truck and a trans from what?
As a reference here are the two bellhousings. Pontiac on the right, Chevy on the left.
The casting wont allow for redrilling. The flange on the front of the Pontiac trans is substantially larger than the Chevy.
The Chevy has only 4lb ft torque less. The open driveline is why I was looking for an adapter. We have access to the original Chevy trans but it...
Im kinda leaning towards another engine but when a $25 216 pops up you grab it. Hell its scrap weight. The 216 Bellhousing is roughly 1/2"...
According to original documents the Chevy engine was only 6 horsepower less than the bigger heavier flathead Pontiac. Chevy at 84 and Pontiac at 90.
This car is a manual, base model car. No Hydra. He's just looking to put around in it. For the price its going to cost to make the adapter we...
Every Model B car came with a C head. A head with a B designation is the rare high compression police model used on the Model A block. The rare...
Does anyone know if there is a bellhousing available to fit a 216 Chevy motor to a 1950 Pontiac trans? We have the chevy and Pontiac bells and...
Welcome, what area of Pa are you in?
Filled the rear with 85 140 limited slip fluid and pulled some tight figure 8s in my parking lot. Clunk is gone. Drove the car around the curvy...
Are you running fenders?
The wheel are Cragar SS and show no signs of damage on the hub side. The clunking seemed to go away or at least quiet a good deal with the brakes...
67 does not have the drum locking screws and I checked all the torque on the wheels as soon as we got back to the shop, that was my first thought....
Hopefully. I really don't want to tell this guy "Yeah we just did a fine point quality resto on your engine now we have to do the rear which...
