Ya let someone who knows vintage Pontiacs have a peek first... Hydraulic lifters need pressure to pump up- that's probably all it is anyway....
RIP C9...He was one of the originals here.
I've run a couple and learned a few things they like. First, a relatively small cam. Today's cams have a lot more lift and duration than the...
Man...that was heavy. It hit me pretty hard- seeing the civiliains commit suicide with their kids on Saipan rather than surrender. All those tiny...
I also drive a 4-door wagon. Nobody picks on me though, although a few have tried. Go figure. 545 hp sbc, 6-speed stick, 3.89:1s, and some...
LOL I have one too- was the same color when I got it. Mine's a 2-door though. 263ci/Dynaflow. It's on the back burner while I've been working on...
You're rockin' this thing Bro! Keep up the awesome work!
Now this story is really getting good...
I'll be running my station wagon out there...
Great stuff man! Your talent is always evolving to a higher level. Some of your best shots ever, IMO...
I'll be there. Never miss it! 12th year in a row for me.
Santini in Westminster is a master. Not cheap, but good.
(Next time- Build the car FIRST, then post about it here. Less theory, more results..)
Hurst makes a pretty wide range for their own stuff. You can mix & match their handles and knobs to suit your own needs....
As custom '55s go, that one is really tasteful and has nice lines. I sure hope it gets a good home!!
What's the application? Here's the deal- You're talking about a large plenum here. You can choose a cam to maximize performance at WOT, or you...
Well done- lots of time and effort and it shows!
The T56 is as good as it gets for a factory 6-speed box. Plenty strong and smooth as silk. The Richmonds are based on the old Doug Nash boxes....
I want to set a World Record somewhere, somehow. Don't care if it's at the drags or Bonneville or wherever. Maybe just an engine I build in...
Actually yes- a lot of guys buy old cars with the intent of fixing them up and flipping them for a profit. They clean them up, add some cool...
RPM is not more easily achieved with a shorter stroke. Engines with a shorter stroke need rpm to make power. The cam you have would work well...
You're still a cool dude Broman...even without your Buick...
One of my Mopars... I had a '69 Charger R/T, a '69 Super Bee, and a '63 Max Wedge clone. I loved 'em all, but I think the '63 would be the one...
I'm one of the rare types that doesn't seem to build cars to sell them. Sometimes I have to sell them, but I never want to, and I wish I had all...
Please tell me you've got shots of you riding the trike! It's GOT to look awesome in motion. If ya don't, and you need some, let me know. I'd...
Doe!!
One of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. Nothin' like designing and building your own engine, and having it perform even better...
I miss ya driving it to work (and everywhere else). I dug the Nailhead... Good times indeed... ~S~ PS- Check my link below to see what...
I run the Accel shorty plugs and they work fine. I've used them on plenty of engines and never had an issue. The Accel plug catalog offers cross...
I'm looking at an O/T car in Sunnyvale for potential purchase, and I'd really appreciate if someone could take a look at it for me. If someone has...
