those appear to be standard "acorn" style rallye caps. 72~74 i think?

thank you for the clarification. also, apparently i can't read otherwise i would've caught that! my bad.

everything you could ever want to know is but a click away on teh google machine! but here you go: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-registration/smog-inspections/ https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/smog-check-program/faq if you have further questions please submit them via written form...

i'm not going to carry on this conversation. you are clearly, woefully misinformed and misguided; and you will never, ever smog a car in california. mainly because you don't live here, but also because that would entail actually buying a car first.

for some rare trim bit or super specific one year only doo-dad or whatzit? sure, stuff can be hard to come by. and, yeah a bunch of stuff isn't made because there is no market for it, or it's just not profitable. but the parts are out there. you just have to have the drive and tenacity to find...

who is this "they" you speak of? if anything there's MORE parts available now than there ever has been. what is getting harder to get? (please submit a list in haiku form only) there is only emissions rules for cars that are 1976 and newer. anything before that, they could hardly give a crap...

let me rephrase: hot rod joe couldn't build it for that because he's paying shops to do all the work. i could absolutely build it for that, it's just there wouldn't be much meat left on the bone when it came time to flip it.

original slant car, so there's that. but given where the market is it don't find this totally out of line. there's a bunch of stuff that i don't particularly care for, and some stuff that's not my style, and a little bit of the obvious liberties taken/good enough/that'll work. however, it's...

if you believe that, you'd best to pack your bindle and hit the rails. this ain't the place for a fella of your likes!

if you're talking about the "candy cane" kick down rod, it's specific to the super six only.

he's gonna johnny cash up his magical fantastical warmed over 318. monday was intake and a carb, today pistons, on friday he'll sneak out the transmission and block in his buddy's mobile home. one piece at a time. a 318 worth at least 100 grand!

feed any hypereutectic a whole bunch of detonation and it won't matter a good gat-dang what your ring gap is.

solid choice is always a 3/4 race cam baby! pays the money and ride the lightning! all kidding aside, that set up will run well with a fairly broad range of cams from pleasantly stout to fairly wild (if the heads are set up for that amount of lift). personally i'd aim more toward street and...

in my travels, i recall seeing a very very original and complete "new car package" or, basically what was given to the new owner, like all the dealer key chain and mopar propaganda promo materials and other such bits n' bobs. amongst that stuff was a small package of wastebin bags that were...

*barfs in mouth a little*

i think it's a little waste bin. i want to say they were optional or a dealer kick in on some early 70's cars?

especially with chevy rods and pistons! :p

he has no working speedo/odo, using gps/google maps

which are basically a truck with an enclosed bed.

transverse bars? those are only in the deep dark woods of FMJ stuff the spool mount came in 73 with the front suspension redesign, but everything essentially remained the same, just with a little more room all around (redesigned centerlink).

because 360's are low rpm truck motors, duh. big strong mains more important in truck with granny 4spd

ounces add up to pounds. you do enough of the little stuff and reap bigger rewards. say running the smaller smaller journal lets you run a smaller bearing, that heats less, which means you can run it harder, longer or at a higher rpm without failure and it has less parasitic loss. it might be...

quadruple double whammy check all your grounds. tight and clean enough to eat off of, baby!

that's a super bummer. i've been quite pleased with anything i've ever bought that you designed and i'd love if there was more trick small block stuff. but i understand completely. make a $60 alternator kit and everybody bitches about about it and then wind up paying $40 for some shitty repop...

well, there's part of the problem.

pfft! that's the next guy's problem! ship it!

you hit on something very important here: breaking even isn't the same as making money! as an exercise say, 3K price point on a 340 block you'd have to sell 100 to break even at your initial 300K investment. and what's the ROI time wise? 18mo? two years? there's better, faster money to be made...

or as i like to say: the tale of how to turn an afternoon project into a two day love affair that costs several hundred dollars and leaves the stink of gear oil around for weeks.

time served isn't necessarily an indication of knowledge or expertise.

stranger things have happened... i once installed a rear for a guy. he'd just dropped it off, said it was out of his other car and had lube in it, ready to go. what he failed to mention was that he "topped it up" while it was in the back of his pickup. the outcome was about what you would...
