Thank you F&J I went to take one more look at the no name wheel. There are two markings on the inside of one spoke. There is an upper case C...
This may be a stupid question, but is it ok to run tubes with a late model radial tire? I once had to tow a car long distance on a car dolly and...
Yes, I will agree that the no name wheel deffinately looks stronger. The wheel mounting surface is a solid ring as well as the extra ribs.
Ouch. That's not the info I was looking for. So is there not way to know for sure who made the second wheel? As far as what I paid, including gas...
I have googled myself to death, I just can't find any solid info or images on these wheels to help tell the manufacturers apart.
So I picked up a pair of vintage mag wheels this evening. One of them is for sure a Sears Roebuck Rader (or is it Radir or Radar). The other does...
fitted the headers today :D [img] Untitled by JoeGilkerson, on Flickr [img] Untitled by JoeGilkerson, on Flickr [img] Untitled by...
Hi, mmarsh. Sorry I never got back to you with dimensions and specs. To be perfectly honest I have given out the dimensions to my car more times...
well its been a while but I made a little progress since the last time i was on here. I got the fuel system finished. It is a magnafuel prostar...
I finally got the new motor installed. Its coming together nicely. started planning out the fuel plumbing and coolant plumbing since everything...
i set the new blower on top of the old motor just to get an quick idea of how it will look and fit.
I really really want a pair of vintage Crestline aluminum front runners, but they would set me back a minimum of $2k if I could find them...:(
I would like to see this motor very conservatively put out 500 hp to the wheels.
I would like to run mid tens. Or at least I think so. I will have to see how the car feels at that speed. It felt smooth and solid running 12.30...
No dyno sheet. But I bought it from a close friend of my father. Its a ZZ4 GMPP 350 with venolia forged blower pistons and a comp blower cam. It...
Here's a couple pics of the new motor :)
Thanks guys. Chuck chuck chuck, bad as fuck. Hahaha. I am deffinaelty upgrading to the bds motor with 671. He will be a handful:)
oh and by the way, even though I have went through such trouble with building this engine myself, I have a line on a Fully forged 671 blown 350...
Update! new pics! have been installing glass and lights and such.
bummer. I have really been trying to get my car ready for the 50th aniversary in march at speedworld, but I dont think I will be ready. So...
well i finally jumped over some hurdles and quit dickin around long enough to get the motor put back in. Its comforting to see it back in the car...
Awsome! I would have really enjoyed that.
Grrrrrr....:mad: This new engine is really trying to get the best of me. I was trial fitting the blower intake last night and it does not match up...
Yea, not only do I miss driving it, but I have Soooooo much money in this new motor that I just cant wait to hear it start up and play me that...
Well I just got done meeting with my injection guy and he wants to gut out my 3 holly's and turn them into simple throttle bodies to run with the...
leave it to me to make things difficult all for the sake of appearance
oh yea, there are tons of minors available if you just look for them, but at the same time you rarely see them on the road, thats what I love...
I have come to terms that im not going to be able to run the 3 two's. But rather I am going to have a custom 3 throttle body setup made, and a...
heres a few pics of the motor while its going together. currently trying to get my rocker geometry set.
Finally got "chuck" in paint! Still gotta do a lot of reassembly and odds and ends. But I need it driving by march 26th for the local drag strip...
