Thanks, fellas, I'll get with Rock Auto.
Very likely the rear main bearing seal. It can be replaced without pulling the engine/trans but it ain't fun. IMHO, if it isn't leaking a much and...
Is the Flywheel on a '98 Vortec 350 specific to the '98 year only? Further, is the harmonic balancer specific to the '98 Vortec 350? All help...
Yu dun gud!!!
IMHO, Roadsir has it right. Sway bars front and rear will make a hugh difference on a '40 (or any car!). Personally, I always use poly bushings....
FWIW We had a problem with the left exh manifold using a Saginaw 605 PS sector on my '41 Chevy with a 350. We found a cast iron manifold with an...
The heater and defroster motors on my '41 Chevy were stuck - dry bushings. Hadn't been run in over 6 years. I took 'em out of the heater and...
If thea 216 is in good shape, you can run 65 all day safely with the orig 4.11 gear. Run it 70 and it wont live very long. I'm told the 216 got...
FWIW Addco makes 'em front & rear. It may involve kits they make for '55-'57 T Birds. Give 'em a call. Putting poly bushings (frame mounts...
FWIW, like castirondude, I just add the "collector" to my regular policy (high liability, etc.) and use a "Face value" price for value. That way,...
IMHO, you should stop talking to people about your paperwork/title. Also stop worring about the tag which disappeared with the rusty floors. It is...
The guy with the '36 Roadster lives about 5 miles from me. John didn't tell you he's running a healthy flathead. He built the roadster himself and...
First, I know nothing and I should stay out of this but, here goes! I'm almost finished with putting a 350 Vortec in a '41 Chevy 2-door. I'll...
Well, guys, time for an update. We went with the Saginaw 605 (rebuilt) with a typical GM pump (rebuilt). Used a Chassis Engineering engine mount...
In that case, the '41 is still at stock height. I found a good '60 Vette front crossmember assy and used the spindles and brakes from it. I...
I need to give an update on this. The '60 Vette spindles and front brakes went on the '41 Chevy (car) just fine. Works well and stops well....
I need to give an update on the '41/54 chevy brake matter. I appreciate all of the advice you guys offered. The '54 backing plates will not fit...
All good advice and it obviously could be caused by several things. I'm betting is is the hose is bad on the inside and is not releasing all of...
'Just sold a 216" Chevy and all running gear. I got a strong, solid oak pallet, strapped everything to the pallet using metal strapping, screws &...
Jeff, 'sorry about the back and legs. 'Had lumbar surgery twice - ain't fun! The '64 Vette brakes still bother me. Nephew is gonna put discs on...
Jeff, you are correct. The info 1950ed sent is the whole story on the spindles. Also, Jimvette's info is invaluable, since I have the complete...
Jim, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm gonna be interested in mounting the '60 Corvette spindles and brakes on the '41 spindle supports. You...
OK, guys, all good, helpful info. My reason for asking is I wanted ''51-'54 Bendix brakes on the '41 (Corvette used the same brakes t0 '62). I was...
Yeah, the crossmember is a bolt-on. I just need to know about these Spindles. Thanks, Gaither
A. Will '49-'54 car Spindles fit and be compatible with a '41 Chevy car Spindle Supports and Tie Rods? B. Will '60 Corvette Spindles fit and be...
Well, after all the thoughts, experiences and suggestions you guys gave, I decided to go with the Saginaw 605. We are in the process of...
Jeff, thanks for sharing your experience. I agree the '54 brakes should be sufficient. I may run an in-line booster with 'em. Thanks Gaither
'Forgot to say I'm using a '56 Chevy 3.55 rearend and brakes (350 Vortec and Saginaw all syncro 3-spd Overdrive).
Rusty, That could be, depending upon how the extra 1" is positioned. Most of the wider drum brakes I have messed with in the past were positioned...
Jeff, the major difference is 2" wide drums and 3" wide drums (both are 11" dia.). That is a dramatic difference since it is all about active...
