The 302 GMC six is getting kind of rare around here. I have found several of the smaller ones 228cu but no 302's in a long time. The 270 I had and...
Welcome to the board. Lots of great information on here I'm sure you will be able to add to it. Fred
A couple of mine
A Few More
The Metro Cruise was saturday in Wyoming/ Kentwood Mi. Lots of great cars and lots people. The traditional stuff was the hardest to get pics of...
I tried the Corvair under a 38 Chev sedan and hated it. It was wide and ugly. I used a 53 Chev IFS (done by CharlieChops in Muskegon) under my 37...
Back in the 60's we cut a 46 plymouth six head .125. Didn't hit water but smashed the crap out of the plugs and had to use washers under the head...
Thanks guys. FYI NAPA does have adapters to go from the male to female inverted flare but not to the o ring type. Fred
I just installed a mid 80's GM pickup steering box in my 1960 Chevy half ton. When I got the box from the local pick a part I probably should have...
Charlie you got one too? I use one of those cheap lazer line levels and line it up on the center of the die, it shoots a line down the hood that...
WOW nice job. Been looking to avoid those boring flat chrome things. Thanks for the inspiration! Fred
The new classified section is great. Simple to use and well done. Eliminates a bunch of BS.:D Fred
A guy at work always asks about my roadster. I tried to explain the difference between my 37 Chev coupe and a roadster but since he is in...
Still sounds like it is .025 out of the block. 6 inch rod plus 1.425 comp distance plus 1.625 crank pin offset (3.25 stroke) is 9.050 on a 9.025...
Man! Forgot about Hillard's I have a couple of pics from the late 70's/early 80's also. I think that is all I could afford at the time. A guy from...
Good deal! Glad to see your build-up. I have been gathering parts for about a year and only need pistons to finish. Found plenty of pistons just...
Glad no body got hurt does make ya think. I like the ramps myself but when working under the vehicle I put one facing forward and one back and...
Cool pics. I've seen these before but great to see again as there is always some little detail you missed the first time.
Lots of good stuff here. Clean and label most important. I have been building engines for 30 years (part time) and still have to look at my worn...
Sometimes I think I'm in hell but that is usually when I'm at work. Also why isn't Hell Michigan in the 616 area?:)
I agree must have been one talented guy. That model super detailed.
I would like to see more on this. I have run copper lines from the tank to the pump and from the pump to carb for 20 years with no problem. now...
Car was restored by Lee Rockwell here in west Michigan couple of years ago. He knew the original builder in the 50's. Worked for years to buy it...
Tool maker for about 20 years and Tool and gage calibrator for another 15 union factory work. Here in Michigan you wonder about your job everyday...
Cool project.
Just bought a 60 Chev short box and thought the torsion set up was kinda weird for gm but it works fine. Am I in for a surprize with this set up?...
Damn I hate math! These numbers are right finally
I like em high or low just depends on how all of the the other parts and pcs go together.:)
Amen! Well said.
