How much boost? You could increase the CC of the heads to lower the compression and slow the blower down to decrease the boost, both will help...
Have done a bunch of Wilwood installs as described. Used 7/8-inch master cylinder for a 4-wheel disc setup and it worked great. Good pedal...
I'd rate it as "off topic".
My comment was referring to Street Rodder, a now defunct publication that Motor Trend cares less than two sh*ts about. They're not going to put...
I don't think anything outside of the digital age will ever get scanned and put online by MotorTrend. There's just no man power to do it nor any...
Rick's Tanks in Texas can build you something to suit if you provide a detailed drawing. Just had them do one for a C10 we're building. Fit perfectly.
Yup!
Glad it worked out!
Cheap tube shocks, no. But there are adjustable tube shocks on the market and adjusting them "tighter" doesn't put them in a bind like a friction...
The good thing about friction shocks is that if you're going to rely on two pieces of leather to dampen the suspension, location doesn't really...
I like the brackets on the crossmember, very clean!
Glad to help! You're all correct, time is money. Between the phone call between Brian and I, drawing it up and a couple text messages, I might...
You're welcome!
Is the adapter flat or are you trying to space the fan out further? I might be able to help. Shoot me a PM with some dimensions. There are a...
Typically speaking, the closer they are to the end of the axle, the more effective, as it's the shocks job to try to dampen the movement of all...

Make sure the throttle shafts are tight and not pulling air (vacuum leak). Also check all the air/fuel screws and make sure the tapers aren't...
I'll relay what I did to get my 301 street worthy, that and a good search through the old threads should yield the info you need. First off, I...
I would bet those brackets are flexing, the belt is walking, and away it goes. It doesn't take much...
Hell, I could get all 6 to work, whether they're 48s, 97s, or 81s, but it would be cost prohibitive for most! :D I think the best advice would be...
I had a 4x2 setup on a Chrysler that would idle at 600 rpm and ran really well, but it took ALOT of work. My advice would be honest with yourself...
Older school than late '40s? Gilmer belts go back a while. A couple pulleys and a belt would might not be cheap, but I bet you could get it done...
Worst case scenario, you could go to a Gilmer belt. These guys will likely have what you need. Had to do that when we built a centrifugal...
Now THAT's hilarious!
Pffft! 1/4 mile is boring, 5-7 miles at Bonneville is where the REAL racing begins! LOL NHRA moved the goal post from 1/4-mile to 1,000 feet to...
That's correct, DMV won't assign a plate other than a YOM plate and you gotta have a matching pair, plus, if it's a pre-'56, you need at least one...
I was only joking on both accounts. Well, duh. Steel pistons are traditional, everybody knows that!
I'm not taking advice from a girl! And why do my Flathead pistons have four valve reliefs?!
This might have been true back then, but today, Year Of Manufacture plates that were assigned to the vehicle in modern times by the DMV (EG, Bob...
I agree with Billy. Put a regulator in that lowers the pressure down to what your carb needs and let the remainder return back to the tank,...
