That is the 4x4 pickup pan- not the FT truck pan. The truck pan has an almost straight bottom ("breadbox") and is 9 qts with filter
Black is great if the car is straight, and you can stand keeping it clean- harder when there's two... [ATTACH]

Since it was designed around the Y-block, and an FE fits pretty easily, the 302/351 has swimming room
Now THIS is a backup crew [ATTACH]
When I go, I hang out mainly with the A/FX guys, who put on a great show that hot rodders can relate to. Unfortunately, that are at the bottom of...
So you were able to do it by buying your tickets at the booth to the left of the gate? First time I went we bought our tix there, but after that I...
I had the opposite experience, we used to have a great counterman at the UPS center in town, was a car guy and always hey, what do you have...

How does one sign up/register/pay to park in The Grove? Have never found that on the website when buying tickets?

Those Offy adapters are made to make a 2x4 intake look like a crossram- that guy took it to another level. I have a set on an old F262 2x4. The...
Awful sweet setup as is and running- but of course I would long to put an FE in it, as it's so easy, and just cool when done. Mild solid cam, some...

Missed that show- might be missing a few for a while... [ATTACH]

You would "hear" that in HAMB mythology- where "cheap" is a synonym with "superior" lol
Yep, Tractor Supply has a pretty good assortment, and also lots of misc hardware, bushings, pins etc
Sometimes you have to laugh at yourself- before I retired I got to do a few "play days" with a new D6 dozer with the latest GPS controls. Pretty...
