As far as how does it compare to the 472 and 500 it obviously won't be as strong. It is about 40 or so pounds lighter. If torque is your goal add...
Definitely is a Cadillac. I have an injected 500 out of a 1976 Fleetwood. The 1977's were 425" and looked the same. The 368's in later years...
Probably goes without saying but be sure to have plenty of light. No way to lay it down right if you can't see it. It gets dark quick when a...
Does any state law require a car that was not fitted with seat belts to be retrofiited? I know I would just for my own safety but is it a legal...
A key point to keep in mind this accident was not caused by your car being lowered a little (and not as low as some factory heights). It was...
Would you guys use a primer/sealer between the high build primer and color? Bob
I think supervision dropped the ball on this one. If they let you use the shop to work on your personal vehicles and this guy is doing work for...
Pasadena, When were you in Eufaula? I guess you were hanging out on Chewalla Creek playing with those bouyies? Bob
Welcome from Eufaula. Lot of good info as well as entertainment here. Where are you located? Bob
LTL shippers have always been rough but lately we have experience more damages. On some shippers we take digital pictures of the load they are...
I used the 3.8 Buck version in a 4.1L/T5 powered TR7 convertible I put together years back. Had to use a home built bellcrank between the pedal...
There are a lot of threads with info on this swap. I have a 52 Sedan with this rear under it. I used de-arched camaro leafs with home built...
The hubs would haveto be offset and they don't look like a stock item. I'm thinking the caliper would also have to be offset as well. Can't see...
Hemi Dave, Welcome from HAMB Eufaula. Not too many Alabama HAMBers. I've been around a long time but don't post a lot. Sound like that 41 is...
I have a mid 70's Camaro subframe on my 52 sedan. I narrowed my control arms about an inch and am using 6" wide wheels with a 4" back space. I...
Consider base coat/clear coat if it is your first paint job and it will be a metalic. Single stage metalics are tough for even the experienced to...
Yeah, I forgot about the TC lock-up. I picked up a switch on ebay that locks it up in 4th(OD) only. I had to put in a brake light switch from any...
I have one behind the Cadillac 425 in my 52 Chevy. This is not a computer controlled tranny. It uses a TV cable like the 700-4r. When built right...
in my 52, I'm running the booster/mc along with a modified swing arm/pedal that came from the donor mid 70's Camaro that I also got my front...
Not many people can support every charity that come along. You got to just pick and choose based on whatever reasons you have. Then just tell the...
I had mentioned in an earlier post about frequent waxing required. Reading some of the other post reminded me the car was a silver metalic. Wonder...
I painted with Centari alot in the 70's and 80's so don't know how much it has changed since then. There was a real fine line between putting it...
It can be done but how to make it all flow is the question. Bob
If I can work out a deal on it just get it running, paint the wheels red, throw in a couple of Mexican blankets and drive it like I stole it.
I've used vinegar for years to derust smaller parts. I 've done several sets of brake drums and various other parts such as hood hinges and...
1: Money. This is a budget project plain and simple. My goal is to have a complete car minus chrome for under 5 grand. Score another free LS1...
I don't know of a plug and play harness available for this engine. Purchase a Camaro manual that has a detailed wiring schematic and adapt the...
Good engines as is for what they are, just keep the opti spark dry. These engines, both iron and aluminum heads make good horsepower and torque...
I've sprayed a couple of cars with their bc/cc with good results. It was also a little cheaper than PPG and DuPont. I was told it is the same as...
