Was there a temp range on the one you bought, when I'm looking around they don't seem like they go hot enough. Edit: NM looks like the one you...
In the mid 2000s I worked for a startup Sprint Cup NASCAR team. I was a part/QC guy so I didn't have a ton of tools but this story is about one...
. What about a aux heater like something from an fj40? Has a little fan and pushes air out 360°. [ATTACH]
New brakes for the Chevelle rear end showed up but my barn didn't and I have a bit of a snow problem. [ATTACH] Anyway while I'm bemoaning my...
Back when I was young and worked on a NASCAR team we called this infant mortality of parts. We individually serial numbered and tracked mileage on...
Does my own car count? Its runs and drives (sometimes), I just have too many projects. I tried to sell it a couple of times but I feel it's worth...
Bought new brake drums, pads, and hardware. Then looked out the window at it because they are calling for 45 more hours of snow. [ATTACH]
I don't consider myself the younger generation but that's where I'm at right now. I have a complete, mostly original 1930 Chevy roadster that the...
I bought a turbo eagle talon when I was a teen that had these wheels on it. I rocked them until I crashed the car trying to showy friends how to...
My current daily. Yeah it's an Evo but the engine is 40 this year. I tried to make the exhaust mimic an old hotrod header. [ATTACH]
Remember any tips from 17 years ago? Would really like it a column shift without being too bulky.
I was thinking of going the three speed route because of this quote from way back in 2007
I did snag one of those for now. Ultimately, when I shorten my steering column I want to try and figure out some linkages to make the stock 3 on...
I might down the road but this 250 looks clean and ran smooth. I think I'm going to just rock it for the foreseeable future.
Back on 4 wheels. Did a 2" drop while I had the axle out. [IMG]
I figured the post 1964 trans would make it not traditional.
Been a while since I've been here. I didn't realize there was an "off topic" section. I guess this belongs there now.
Was dinking around out in the county and saw this 1950 Chevy for sale dirt cheap. It ran and drove, had a clean title so I figured why not? It...
I was recently looking for an oddball setup and found many videos on YouTube for making your own. Probably the route I'm going to take. Might be...
I'll pay scrap value for a few 235 heads and the freight to ship them out. Plus a little kickback to boot. Reading the stories online I don't...
Some how the mouse got corn all the way to the top of the pistons. Hopefully at least the block is salvageable. Dropping the head off later this...
My plan is to start with the head. I'm going to pull it this week and have it hot-tanked and checked for cracks. From what I've been reading I...
Pulled the valve cover today and it's gonna need a complete rebuild. Time to start stripping things down and hoping for no cracks. Pretty sure a...
Mine, the plastic wrapped one, has the "captains bars" and is date coded 1958. I really wanted the insert style bearings and other upgrades after...
I gotta stay off eBay... After reading more posts and articles than I can count I decided on a dual carb setup. Since I'm in Colorado the...
That's rad! I just read that whole thread last night. His is top notch, I am blown away. Mine is going to be pretty straightforward build just...
It's been a while... Over the winter tried to get the old 194 running well enough that I could run it in my small town fall parade but it seemed...
On the details page, it says you can take what you want and leave the rest. I know there are a couple of things I am bidding on for just parts...
I'll definitely have to snag myself a copy! I don't buy many magazines but do collect ones with Chevys in them as they seem to be somewhat rare.
Ok, so the front main cap ended up being thrashed due to being torqued down to a bent front motor plate. I found a new cap, and clearance checks...
