Hey everyone. So I decided to go with a QA1 K and lowers to be able to install a sway bar, save some weight, and free up some space in the engine bay. My factory K didn't have any mounting spots for a factory sway (I think someone modified the stock K at some point before I got it). My friend...

I'm having a hell of a time trying to find online the size tubing you used as spacers. do you have a link to site that I can grab some of this chromoly tubing from? Thanks!

So I got my new Qa1 K-frame (t-bar, stock steering) and was setting up to begin the install and noticed the frame to body bolts that came with the kit were grade 5. So I looked at the factory bolts and sure enough they are grade 5. I would have thought that being a critical bolt and only 4 of...

Do you have this same combination or one similar to it? Also, are you running the qa1 front sway bar with it as well?

Forgot to add that the K-member is torsion bar and stock steering setup.

I have the opportunity to get a killer deal on a new qa1 k-member for my 71 Scamp with a 340. My question is: it's currently equipped with a milodon 7 or 8 quart ( I can't remember which one, this one hangs a 1/2" below the k-member) and I had to clearance my stock k-member a small amount for...

I have some ARP head bolt and stud kits for sale: 144-3601 "A" engine with W2 heads, head bolts. Installed but never torqued. Realized after I got a few hand started that I had the wrong kit. Essentially new. Comes with everything, except the grease as I had opened it, in original box. $70...

So im going edelbrock for heads. They offer 2 heads for use with hydraulic roller cam, one's specifically for the 340. My question is, which head should I go with? I have the old trw pistons that just barely stick out the hole. Should I go for #60775 and run a thicker head gasket or go with #60175?

Im running a Lunati voodoo retrofit roller cam #20200712. It is in a 340 bored .030 over, 9.7:1 static compression, smith brothers pushrods, and Hughes roller tip rockers.

Hey Fabo, it's been a couple/ three years since I have been on here. Between having kids and buying a house, I haven't had the time or money to mess around with my Scamp. Im finally getting back to it and I've run into an issue with the stock X heads. While tuning in the fuel injection I had a...

I know this thread is old but I'm reviving it. I've finally got to the point where I have my chrome and polished trim back from powder coat and it's time for reassembly. I bought a roll of glass setting tape 1/16" x 1.5" and it seems very soft like butyl. Is it suppose to be like that? I was...

Dave, Is your mirror remote adjustable? I have non remote mirrors and they look like they have some sort of rubber or neoprene gasket wedged between the housing and the perimeter of the glass. I just don't want to pry and break the glass if that's not what actually holds the glass in.

How much scuff does the parts need; scuff pad, 320 grit paper, etc? Also, will powder fill and self level in scratches and small pits? The reason I ask is because the chromed surface on my vent window frames is slightly pitted. Leanna I appreciate all the info you have given me so far. You are...

Well that just crushed my hopes of powder coating all my chrome and polished trim flat black. Guess it all stays as is because paint won't last long on the trim.

Oh goodie another thing to worry about. I bought a set of aftermarket repop mirrors for my 71 Scamp so I don't know if they will handle it. What has been your experience with aftermarket mirror housings? Here's the ones I bought: Mirrors Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I know you...
