Great story! What are you using for an engine/trans? With all the leftover parts gathering dust in most of our garages, maybe some of us could...
The aluminum helps, but don't discount the reverse cooling on the LT1. What works on those doesn't necessarily apply to everything else. In fact,...
The iron LT1 heads were designed later than the aluminum ones (they came out in '92, on the Vette), and had the advantage of more R&D time. The...
"All things being equal" is leaving HP on the table, as far as the aluminum heads are concerned. A primary advantage is that you can typically run...
If the aluminum isn't in really bad shape, I'll clean off all the grease/oil with Simple Green (I usually don't dilute it), and scrub them...
My dad experimented with a low carbon steel wire (basically all EZ-Grind is, from what I understand), and saw a huge difference in ease of...
I remember back in the '80s, when I had enough of points in my '57 and started looking for an electronic that would work without beating up the...
They have a lot of great stuff you can use building cars...rod ends, structural steel and aluminum, fiberglas and cf supplies, electrical...
Isn't that on the road on the way into Oranjestad? I went on vacation with my fiancee and another couple there a few years ago (they were doing...
Sure can, though you will probably need a Lokar (or other universal fit type) to get the right length. With multiple carbs with progressive...
Click on his website in his sig, then go to contact...numbnuts! :D
Yes, I want to do it direct port. See, my dad bought a complete, low mileage 350 TPI about 10-15 years ago (practically new then), to go in his...
If its driven normally, it could survive...but it will have to be built right. I would think the lower first gear might actually be a detriment in...
Hope this helps (not my pic, but its an AOD on a small block Ford).
Most late S10 rears are 7 5/8 rears, as are all 4th gen Camaro rears (not Australian...that was late 80s Firebirds only, completely different...
No offense, but with that little girl gearset you don't need an overdrive. Put a set of 3.36-3.73s in it and your opinion will be much different....
Very nice work!!! Ever do a dry flow throttle body conversion on old Carter WCFBs or later AFB/Edelbrocks? I have been itching to do just that, on...
I think its well worth it. I recommend an overdrive for all my customers, unless they are doing a pure restoration, or a track-only car. If you...
That is sweet! Any more pics? Or a build thread? :D
Working the parts counter at a Mustang parts vendor about 15 years ago, we noticed lots of people would come up and start shouting what their car...
I have seen a few with a piston stuck in the hole...not a permanent fix, but could get you by til you can fill the hole. You could also relocate...
When I was 16 (1985), and going to my local parts store for oil and filter to do my first oil change on my '57, the counterman (Jack, a great...
The 305 heads actually have a pretty good following among 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird guys...check out http://www.thirdgen.org Lots of good info on...
I'd take the advice of just not mentioning what you are working on specifically when asking tech questions...this is a great site, but people get...
Turbo City offers lots of upgrades...bigger throttle bodies, chips, etc...but for what all the upgrades cost you could convert one to a later TPI...
Glad to hear you found another motor...already looking forward to the next video!
Wow, just one more reason not to live anywhere near Chicago! Anyone "stealing" a truck cab off my property will be leaving in a bag. I live in a...
Actually, the 305 was a California-only Corvette engine in 1980, and it was carbureted. This was the only year for a 305 in any Corvette. You...
With the injection gone (it was garbage...hence the derogatory nicknames like "Ceasefire", "Crossflood", etc), its basically just an early 80s,...
There is no comparison between the front end he is talking about, and a '90 model...the '03-up models are completely different (aluminum...
