Here in central PA, we say that it's great to have 4 seasons, but it sucks when they're all in the same week sometimes.

I'd love to see what it would look like soda blasted. I've cleaned some pretty ugly carbs, but that looks sketchy even by my standards

I'm probably using the 67 pistons, just assuming more compression. But I'm looking for insight on block, head, crank, rods, etc.... What's wrong with the 1920 carb? It's been several years since I ran one, but I always thought they were about the best 1 barrel ever put on a slant. Only one...

I'm looking to build a slant six for one of my future projects. In my current inventory, I have 225s from the following years... 1967 1972 1975 1976 1979 Super Six 1980 Jasper reman 1983 So, my question is basically, is there any year that is better than others as far as block, crank, pistons...

I was always told it had something to do with the specific iron makeup, as far as nickel content, etc. But I have no way to verify that. Might be something to it, or it might just be a legend I've heard for nearly 40 years.

I thought 1990s Playstation games had better graphics. Even a door stop has nicer lines

Looks like it would be a pain to actually haul anything in

Anybody have any suggestions on what strut type front suspension and steering would be good in a street driven tube chassis car? Definitely want to stick with Mopar stuff, and prefer something that can easily be found in salvage yards.

I've probably dreamt up enough good redneck fun and outrageous builds for ten people. One thing is certain, if I ever hit Powerball, the world will not be a safe place.

Go kart frame, fiberglass body, single disc rear brake, and a 550cc Kawasaki with a 6 speed gearbox. What could go wrong?

One thing to remember is that factory ratings were just that, ratings. Not actual measurements. 68 and 69 318s have an advertised 230 horsepower, and an advertised 9.25 ratio with open chamber heads. A 70 318 is still advertised as 230 horsepower, with an advertised 8.8 ratio. A 71 318 still...

I already have. Over the years, there have been times when a box of parts or something similar just shows up. Sometimes years later I still haven't learned where they come from. Generally, when the random things show up without my knowledge, I will wait a few months to see if someone comes back...

And a lot of things that are too good to junk, but not worth much. I was taught to not waste anything. But it has gotten to the point where I simply have far too much stuff. Therefore, it is not at all uncommon for me to give stuff away for free to people who show up here and actually have a...
