Ok, I’m lost finding a fuel starvation issue. I’m probably going to be overly detailed with info, but I want to be thorough. It’s a 64 Chevy Bel...
I’ve had 6 194/230/250 in cars and trucks. I love those engines. Seven main bearings, rev decently quick (for an inliner) and bulletproof. I had a...
I’ve got that exact vehicle, although I’m leaving mine drums, I’ve done this swap on a 61 Biscayne. I purchased the car with a kit in the trunk,...

I love 60’s drivers. I sold my 61 Biscayne a few years back and have missed it ever since. I know the X-frame cars well, and have always wanted a...
I’ve gotta roll with lippy, all 307’s had 1.72 intakes. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
On a 194/230/250 (had several) but big time on SBC’s, I never trusted any previous owner on timing marks, etc. I always (and still do to this day)...
Lots of good questions here. I’m certain I’ll get roasted for some of my paint “ideals”. I’ve been a paint sales rep for the two largest paint...
Two component Epoxy Primer, without question. You can always sand it off later. But it can sit covered in epoxy for a decade and not rust. Use...

My 49 International KB2. Originally a 3/4 ton step-side longbed. Shortened 8". 67 Camaro rear end/suspension, Mustang II front end, ZZ3 crate...
292's were truck only. They will also have a water pump bypass hose like a Big Block Chevy V-8 (Some L-79 and other fuelie 327's had them as...
Well, 30 days into driving the Biscayne after the later model six swap, and the worst has happened. I knew I was chancing it with an un-touched...
Engine is in, fits like a glove, seriously dropped right in. Engine/trans mounts were perfect. Issues: Column shift linkage, air cleaner hitting...
Oh yeah, definitely pulling the plugs and routing cooler lines to my in-radiator cooler! Sent from my SM-G960U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Squirrel, this is the kind of stuff I'd ask you? I'm 12 volt/alt all the way guy (did the MAD electric 3 wire conversion on my 61 Biscayne and it...
Got the carb finished, engine assembled, and test fired. Sounds awesome! No smoke, no leaks, 40 psi oil pressure idling. Time to drop it in. Sent...
PPG DP Epoxy Primer. Best in the business. Can do bodywork over or under. Can be directly topcoated. Best corrosion resistance in the game. Just...

Bore a 283 an 1/8, or put a 283 crank into an early 327, drag racers did it for years before Chevy made an official "302"... Sent from my...
Got the old 235/ironglide pulled for the potential buyer. That setup is long and heavy. It was interesting. The 230 I bought to replace it is...
I had one on my 49 International truck with a 290 horse 350 crate motor in it, and also one on my 79 GMC Sierra with the same engine. They run...
