Long story short, I've got a project on the go and immediately ran into a snag: the diff is small and wimpy, and has got to go in favor of...
You betcha, I'm looking for some ideas/inspiration to make the back end of the 65 C10 less truck-like. It's pretty straight and square on the...
<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --> Every time I walk into my shop, I cringe.... I see the 65 C10 Disaster sitting there, the most extreme...

Lots of ideas so far. I guess I forgot some information. The engine is open in the bed of my truck (build thread in my sig) and it is a 455 olds,...
I ran a dual quad last year, for the look mainly. As we all know, driveability is good, performance is good, heck, even mileage was good with the...
Haha, the truck is pretty much completely disassembled right now, so yes, updates will come shortly. By the time spring hits, the plan is to have...
I just purchased an offy dual quad setup, and it came with a pair of Carter AFB's, both of which are casting #D8 3721S3, which apparently is a...
Taillights will get frenched in about a half an inch or so to make em look like they belong. The control arms are custom built from steel tubing...

Years ago I bought an assorted lot of disassembled small block chevy's. In the lot there was a 283, 327 and 350 4 bolt block, cranks and cams for...
Yep, they both have the big screw at the bottom where a PCV vacuum source would normally be. I have enough vac lines right now, so it's not a...
Wow do you guys have information, this is great! Here's some more info, including pictures. -Altitude 1800ft -Carbs have inlet in the front, not...
I don't know whole lot about Carters, but I do know they came with the intake, have been rebuilt as a matched pair, and are said to be "set up" to...
I suppose if I jet and meter them down, 1:1 could work too, and still be economical, streetable and powerful. I wonder how far down I could go, as...
Well, it's getting close to time to fire up my 455 Olds/Offy dual quad combo in my Disaster 64 pickup, and I've realized I have a few questions....
I've been looking for pictures, but I can't seem to find any to match my vision. I have a 26/27 T coupe that I plan on building, but I want to run...
Some of those look great! Thanks guys!
Thanks for the help guys! I never even thought of Mystery Oil, but that stuff does work great doesn't it? I'll let him know that one, and also...
The song is about small town saskatchewan, written about a local bar-room-hero, the late Johnny Lewis. If you knew John, you'd understand the song...
Sounds odd hey, unseizing a rebuild? Well, here's the scenario. A buddy of mine has a 327 that was rebuilt years ago, and left to sit on a stand....
Well, I'm getting closer to figuring out the little details on my disaster pickup, so I figured since none of the window cranks have functional...
I'm one for going against the grain. I'll warn you right now, however, that it is not easy at all, that it takes HUGE engineering, and will cost...
The cooling system works good actually. On the highway the fan is on, in town it's off. It has to be filled through the neck in the top of the...
Haha, true enough, where'd you see the video at? It's on Youtube and I believe Bravo on television. Being in a music video is one experience I...
Thanks guys! I know it'll be do-able now, so I'll talk to the chromer and see what I can come up with, unless I can find a decent re-pop.
I have a pair of 1958 Del Ray tail lights (the ones with the chrome peak in between two bullets) that I am planning on using, but the problem is...
Thanks for the help everyone, I got it all working tonight. I had the eliminator before, but it didn't work that well. The cable needed a loop...
