Are you making a master to send out and have a matchplate made? Or just making a urethane pattern and mounting it on a plate?
How many of the 100 presale orders are filled at this point?
Is it going to be a shell core box or multiple shell boxes for the runners and water passages?
When is the pattern getting made? Shell core box(es)? What do you estimate the cost on the tooling to be?
So the plan is to have the exact same interior runners as that other manifold?
Well, to be fair the $1025 manifold was allegedly brand new without the box. It looked like it. But for christsakes that's still way out there in...
Now would be the time for anyone left holding a Weiand 4 barrel to sell it for a ridiculous number, and then go buy the improved 4 barrel version.
I'd say that's downright cheap. Have you ever machined steel before? It takes time.
When are the American people going to take up an armed revolt? The shit is waist high in almost every facet of life.
I definitely agree you're making the right choice ditching the parallel leaf springs in favor of a buggy spring setup. I don't foresee the ride...
What happens with those aluminum case 833s is over time the counter-gear shaft eggs out the aluminum case in which it rides. When there is enough...
All the jibber jabber aside, I think that car is absolute proof showing 1.3 million dollars doesn't necessarily buy coolness. Quality, sure....
Second on the thread pitch gauge.
That's a hard enough job with a corded sawzall, quite a few blades and plenty of time. I think you're going to want a generator, although I have...
I don't know, the costs to manufacture the pattern equipment are going to be extremely high. Then they're going to have to find a foundry that...

The toploader is hands down a stronger, better transmission. Your problem is you have the early 25 spline output shaft. Supposedly this is quite a...
I guess it depends on what you think you're worth. If you know you're capable, it can't take more than a day worth of labor. Do you make $300 a...
I think if you're spending $1000 or more on a vehicle or project, it damn well should come with a title.
The big in/ big out toploader is stronger than all of the other factory options.
Give me a few years, I'm building a killer one. I'm aiming for low 11's, high 10's.
Idk, I don't think a time machine can be done.
You know, I'm another nobody. That being said, I'm the kind of person who would rise the the challenge of "can't be done/ random bullshit". I...

Shit, you're right. That must be why all spectacular handling sportscars usually sit way up in the air, with the engine as high as possible. And...
I don't think so, when it applies to automotive handling that is.
You know, you're both right and wrong. They are the same concepts, just because it is a hot rod doesn't mean magical rules apply. I would suggest...
I use the Ultra Copper rtv on my pan in my daily driver. It works perfectly fine, in all seasons.
I wouldn't expect a lot for the model a insert.
