$135. Keep it going. Those are sweet.
hmmm. I didn't even think of that before. I have heard of the early head with different VC mounting, but never gotten my hands on one. If someone...
Well, as usual, the original ETA was blown completely out of the water :-) Good news: the early finned valve covers, with Cadillac script, and...
If you ask a repair tech, you will find that a good quality fan clutch will outlast an aftermarket electric fan that costs twice as much by...
Status update, since we have a bump :-) The first pair (test pour) of the '50s valve cover (the original start of this thread) was delivered to...
I wonder if you could take the driver's side 1/2 of 2 (or 3) Subaru (or any other boxer) engines, and put them together as an inline? That's about...
I just e-mailed them earlier this week, and the tooling is at the foundry for the test pour now, waiting it's turn. We should have samples very...
Actually, most 64s use a Th400 that won't interchange. There is a factory adapter on the '64s with the hydro. I wouldn't count on a '63 or '64...
I love it. Watch out for the PCV valves on the back of the valve covers (facing the firewall), if yours has them. Headers: late 90s stuff had...
Most late 60s-up midsize RWD cars (A bodies and G bodies) were 5X4.75. Most Astros were 5X5". Most 2WD S10 were 4.75", while most 4X4 S10 were 5"....
Most people can't tell a '55 331 from a 365 - they are virtually identical externally. The starter location is not different on the 331 vs the 365...
I love the way you blended the nose with the character line. Nice work.
Just a dumb question about the removable windshield thing. In the years when a Ford roadster had a removale windshield, did any of the closed...
Any updates on this? It's topless weather.... Plus, my kid is getting out of school in 2 weeks and we will (hopefully) finally be starting on her...
The viper doesn't have a detachable windsheild... so the '37 and the Viper are both yes or both no. If you would count a Jeepster, how about a...
If a product contains 90% mexican parts and is assembled in the US, is it a Mexcan made or US made product? First, With .010"+ bearing...
The rubber seal sticking to the block is usually because they didn't put oil on it like you're supposed to when they installed it. When I was in...
He said the tooling is currently 3-5 weeks out on the early valve covers with the rocker releifs. Current ETA is June. I need a set, too... I just...
I just e-mailed the tooling guy on the valve covers. I'll let you know what he says. The adapters are going to be made here in the future, as...
Sort of - we worked out a deal to re-sell his intakes and headers, but I haven't actually sold any.
There are currently several styles of valve covers available, and a new one coming. Parts to put a manual trans behind a '63 390 are readily...
Whare did those long-stem side mirrors come from? I need a pair of those...
Yeah - if the title says '63, you are going to have some trouble with registration... On something that long out of date, they will want to do a...
If you can't find it from an industrial supplier, Eastwood sells a windshield polishing kit, probably the same stuff. If you didn't clean it good...
I've never put a Chevy in a Cadillac, but the '53-older Caddy has mounts similar to a '53-older Buick. If you are swapping the frame / subframe...
You are the bomb. That's almost complete enough for a tech-week post. Cudos. As for radio or not, I guess it depends on your 'period'. By the...
The article on the green Chevy said it was CosmiChrome. It is a spray on chrome that comes in colors. www.newchromeprocess.com. Supposed to be...
Finally, some action... Got the art and approved it today. They expect to have the tooling done by late January, and we should have valve covers...
OK, my turn :D I would say you have to decide if you want the car fast AND streetable, OR 'correct' and either fast OR streetable. With the...
Killer thread - I never thought of using a wire brush for that. I like it.
