If CE has a Th400 crossmember, it will be close enough to work (very little difference in the mount location between the 2, even though the...
Popcorn anyone? :D
I put one in for a customer recently (OT '69 Z/28). The Z still had the M21 and original 12 bolt with 4.11s, and felt decent with the motor that...
Yes, they had them too (not all of them, though). Most were iron.
I'm not a bike guy, but I really like that!
Basically what used to be called an A-Body; 78-87 GM intermediates (Malibu, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Regal, Cutlass, El Camino, etc). These...
I saw your car ! I'd never forget that sign! :D
I'm assuming the block was decked and the #s lost...if thats the case, its really not that big a deal. Numbers are restamped on old blocks every...
I left that one out for a reason; I'm just not a fan. I have put in many 9" rears to replace broken 12 bolts (for customers), but never the other...
If I could build one for close to the same price, and have it be just as dependable (I have no doubt it will hold the HP), I'd do it. Thanks for...
That just might be the clincher, as I am going to build this car to pass tech, even though its going to be driven more than its going to be raced....
I'm in the parts collecting stage of my '57 Chevy gasser project, and someone else's thread about which rear to go with got me thinking. I know...
I'm not a Mopar guy, so thanks! :D Love them, just never owned one.
I had some friends with a similar problem...they rented a large storage unit, that had electric power. They were limited what they could do there,...
I'll check around here...we still have plenty of older stuff in the yards. It will be next weekend before I have time though.
Its the basic architecture of the block. It has very little to do with displacement, though generally a big block will have more cubic inches....
Plenty of early 80s vehicles still used 2 barrel Rochesters...I would think that you could find a mid 80s Firebird or Camaro with a V6, or a mid...
My dad put one in a '55 once out of an early- mid-80s Riviera (before they downsized them). I hated the style of it (this was 22+ years ago), but...
Go to Pull-A-Part on Henrico/Moreland Ave...last time I went there looking for a Pontiac motor, I left with a '71 455...for less than $150. Plenty...
Lux, I may have not said this in my original post, but I think this is a great tech article. Most clip jobs I have ever seen...Camaro, Mustang II,...
I have been twice before, and I'm doing the long haul next year. Unfortunately, it won't be in a HAMB-friendly car this time.
I grew up in the area (Barnesville), and still go through there failry often, and frankly I don't remember seeing many high-quality traditional...
Move South? I just left the shop, and it was still in the 70s. Wore shorts and a t-shirt. It does get cold here, but not too bad so far. I have...
You can actually buy a Chevy II style pan for the engine you have...or you could use the original late pan, and a Chevy II style pan, and cut and...
I agree, great source, but you can read something all day every day, and until you've actually done it, you have no idea. The guys here make a lot...
Unbolt the master cylinder from the booster. Behind it, you should see a tapered pushrod dead center, right behind the master cylinder piston. If...
I get those all the time...the more you use Craigslist, the more often you will get them.
If no fluid is coming out, it could be any number of things. You didn't mention it, but does the car have power brakes? If so, be sure the pushrod...
I was 15, almost 16,when I became the proud new owner of a '57 Chevy Belair 2 dr hardtop (1985). The interior was pretty trashed (ripped up...
I'm working on a '67 Mustang now, and it has a rubber brake line running to a T that goes off the vent. I'm pretty sure any Mustang vendor, or...
