Thanks!! I'm pretty certain they're knockoffs, Jegs is my bet judging by some of the other Jegs branded parts on the car. I actually prefer the...
I had mine done up in a manner where I was mostly sticking to one of the old NHRA rulebooks (1965 I think it was), and doing what was achievable...
The original Pro Star is my jam. My 81 Z28 had them on it when I got it and I'd be lying if I said they didn't sway me a little bit on the car. I...
I had a set of SSTs on a 78 Dodge van, and my old 87 Camaro. Heavy as hell, but looked sharp.
The fuel will last a year or so in ideal conditions, but you get phase separation between the ethanol and gasoline in ethanol-blended fuels, and...
I have always been partial to the Weld Draglite and Prostar (anybody know when the Prostar was introduced?), and the Center Line Convo Pro. But I...
That was a pretty good day, huh? Congrats!!
While we're on the subject, and as RodStRace noted this is the OT forum, I grabbed one of these for my recently acquired Camaro since the EFI...
I like "Speedometer Simple" if you have iOS. Nice and clean appearing. You can have a on-screen gauge, just numbers, or both. You can also mirror...
Just paid $29 for a 5 quart jug of VR1 last Saturday at the autozone.
Man I love the color matched wheels they did on these cars. That's a CLEAN Z!!
The debate about letting your kid drive this car is missing something: This is easily a 10-second 1/4 mile car, if not faster. What you had in the...
I call my 55 the shitbox as a play on shoebox. I feel it's appropriate.
I ran Rotella in the 472 in my OT Caddy for several years with zero issues before VR1 was a thing. Of course it typically operated at diesel...
You'd have to make sure the numbers on the face and sweep of both gauges match exactly or the readings would be off. You'll also need to make sure...
Yeah I haven't gotten to that point yet. I think they're early production 400 heads from all the digging I've done. 3951598 castings. Would make...
Ok, what are these heads? They’re not the 882s I thought they were. After cleaning them up, there are 2 little spikes. Not rounded like double...
85-86 car with 87-93 1/4 windows and a clean 4.6L swap. 96-03 dash, New Edge Mach 1 seats. Far amount of work in that car and it looks well done....
How is this car not a bigger deal around here? It's awesome!!
Bought an 87 just like this one at 17, except mine had the spoiler. Was my first commuter work car. Between the payment, gas and insurance, I...
Thanks, and thanks for attaching the pic!!
Lincoln Rules! Not sure how I feel about that reference, hahaha.
81 Z/28. Real Z/28 in pretty decent driver shape. It's got a 408 with EFI. Production 400 heads, mild cam, Edelbrock intake. Built TH400 with a 3k...
I mean if you're a dope and float the valves for 60 seconds sitting on the limiter (if you even have one), yeah, you're making poor life choices....
You gotta try the new Creme Delight at Dunkin then!!
Digging this corpse back up so I can piss and moan some more. Agree, disagree, whatever, but here's my current state of mind on things because I...
The classic Roadkill formula of pulling a heap out of a yard, getting it running and roadtripping it launched a thousand imitators across the...
Thanks again for all the info guys, I appreciate it! Leaning more and more toward a 700R4 built to task. My buddy has one sitting in his shop I...
I'm not totally opposed to a OD trans, I've just never had to set one up before. Hell, my built TH350 doesn't even have a kickdown lever, I...
If my opinion means anything, I like the free for all rules here so far. This is the only place on the internet I still post and that's because of...
