Yup. If it were me, I'd see how small of an undersize bearing is available; leave some room for the next turn on the crank (you never know what's...
Kirk, thanks for taking all the pics! Beautiful stuff. BTW, for anybody who wasn't there, this little Ford thing sounded royally pissed off!...
Using outside air to feed the carb(s); 8-10 # on an 8.5:1 engine should be okay. Usually. Guys run a lot more than that, but the more boost you...
Looks good, Y Block; did you pie-cut the tubes in the center, or just bend 'em? -Bill
And that's the whole answer right there. PNB'r chose right to begin with. The real question is: what's her objection? Is it the ONE car that...
Quoted For Truth I had the same experience selling stuff. Kind of a shame about the merc, though. -Bill
Here on the H.A.M.B., we say how it's 'your $$$, your car, your choice'. Until you want to pull out a vintage engine, swapped 'back in the day'...
Beautiful! BTW, what's the color; is it custom mixed, or an off-the-shelf hue? -Bill
You know how they always were doing some 'theme bike' or other? Well, that's 'cause they had a customer who wanted a build done; if you can get...
Wasn't at a junkyard either time, but once I was lying under the dash of a '49 Plymouth I was stripping parts off, and felt something odd. Turns...
Way too cool. Now, the only problem is, whether I'd rather have engine turned inserts in my truck's dash, or pearloid (and fit all switches with...
Treat 'em gentle until they're warmed up. Including having warm oil. Oil warms with load, so I don't idle long, just drive real easy until the...
Nice score. Subscribed.
Nice score! I see the mice appeared to have found your Ford's rockers as well... BTW, mine was only in the garage since about '83 or so... and...
This car is proof positive that the testicles of yesteryear were in no way inferior to the current equipment! -Bill
Nice looking wheel, Scott... now, where were ya' when I had a '68 Dart? Also, can a guy get wheels drilled on weird stuff if he wants, like 6 pin...
The only real problem with using anything like a ratcheting strap, is it'd probably fold that truck's shitty old bed... I tell ya', it's...
So, I was taking my 4 new ebay-score cheap tires to get 'em mounted on rims for my '53 Customline. I decided that I'd pull the rims and take 'em...
If worst come to worst, does the manufacturer offer a 1" bore cyl? Personally, I'd expect it to be okay. But some random guy on the internet...
Unlike the old fart in Grits' avatar, who actually was a HELL of a lot tougher than he looked! (I didn't know that until a couple years ago)...
Heya Dawg, Got the rod length plugged in now. I'm guessing at where your cam is installed at, and the lobe center spread ground in. I'm also...
Way cool. Stude with a Stude; what a concept! I'm bookmarking this one for sure. BTW, if you don't like the 'no front brakes' thing, but want...
Sorry, I haven't run across that particular problem myself. A 625 Carter is a good size for a 302; had one on a 318 MoPar that worked really...
X2. And what kind of car are we talking about; make/model, mods done? Was there a ton of custom stuff done or hard-to-replace parts that have to...
Having worked as a regulatory enforcement type guy (not in city codes... so don't show up here with pitchforks and torches!) for a short time, it...
Oh, one more.. weed burners (1) = an early kind of exhaust with individual stacks, but the ends of the pipes pointed down or just kicked out to...
Fanny... hmmm, that's what our Mexican bros call 'la concha', isn't it? I guess they didn't call those goofy little purse things guys strapped...
Some guys make a lot of power with domed pistons, but for most guys... unless you are 'in the know', really super smart, lucky, or do a lot of R &...
Priceless. Also handy for removing the tops from bottles of barley pops, and as a holder for recipie cards. Remember, ladies, if there is...
Not most of 'em :D -Bill
