Sorry, I was thinking for the aftermarket cam. For stock, Tyler is correct. If you swap the cam out, firing order is based on the way the cam is...
Firing order is based on the cam. Check the can card it should tell you. I don't know what you mean by a special fit eccentric, should use a...
With a bed... [IMG] [IMG]
Just playing around... made it blue, black frame and brakes, moved the headlights down and a bit smaller, hoodsides and different wheels... [IMG]
Wheels and tires make a huge difference... I think the long length could be OK with bonneville style or dragster style wheels. The green, while...
That's a cool roadster! I personally would leave the banger in it, makes it different and neat. Maybe a flathead, if you had to change it, but...
I was trying to think of a clever compliment, but all I think looking at that car is WOW. Very nice, sir... very nice.

I have "Speed View" on my Droid... I've checked it against my truck and its pretty much dead on. I used the 1/4 et deal once and it was about a...
I had some time in my coupe, but I did it myself. It was my first experience with paint and body... not perfect but didn't turn out too bad. The...
That would be a Windsor. 351C is completely different, and was not made in the 80's. Nothing really special about the headers, they're...
I second this. I have friends with completely stock A's and know even more people who drive them all over. They don't have problems driving...
At 500hp you're pushing the limits of a stock SBF block. They split down the middle, through the cam and crank bores. Someone makes a valley...
I saw a T Bucket "rat" once that only had air shocks for springs. Even had that small plastic tubing still. So apparently someone has done it,...
Nope, been here as long as you... just expressing my opinion. I appreciate and respect them all... but as mentioned earlier, the sum of the...
How bout you just leave a nice stocker alone and start with a body? I'm honestly SO tired of people tearing up nice cars, when there are still...
I don't know from experience, but in college automotive courses I was taught that it was extremely hard on valves. I don't remember exactly why,...
12.08 is pretty quick, especially with firestones. What are you running for an engine?
Mine is a full out street car, drove it to work today and even took it up town to lunch. Made a few several hour trips in it. I do run full...
Boy, lets see... I think my best back with that setup was something like 13.90's, and I broke the throttle pedal on that pass. A couple weeks ago...
Thanks! It went 12.19 @ 110 a couple weeks ago. I'm building a belly pan and installing an anti-roll bar (sway bar) - hoping to get into the...
1931 Coupe, mid-sixties style hot rod. 289 w/ 4x2's & a mag, early halibrands, etc... (slicks are on cragars) Posted using the Full Custom...
I'd have to agree ... this cover pretty much says it all. p.s. Why does he have a stop sign bolted to the fender? :rolleyes:
Technical? Cobra valve covers were available before cal custom, and they came with alternators in '65. My '31 has a '65 289 in it, Keystone...
It was great meeting you guys, I really had a great time this year and that had a lot to do with the people I knew and the people I met. Also, I...
Your suicide mount is a lot more, uh, "beefy" than mine... I guess that's the word I want. Mine is welded on the top and front, 1/4" plate on a...
If I ever build another coupe, this is what I want. I love the chop on this... I'd say you pretty much nailed it. Nice work, and nice car.
First car I ran was my '93 Mustang in about 2001, spun all the way down the track. My '31 A coupe cuts a 1.55 60' and has run a best of 12.23...
On my coupe, I just made a vinyl tarp (looks like canvas) that nailed down in the front like stock. I used lift the dot fasteners rather than...
Just guessing, but I almost wonder if the guy balanced it with his 50oz flexplate, and just had the store get you a new one... which ended up as...
