If not mistaken, a big block AC car uses a larger crank pulley, and a smaller WP pulley, to increase rpms, I never have used a flex fan, but I has seen the guys mention needing a heavy flex fan not the light ones, which can go "sideways" into the rad, due the higher revs at "speed". But, this...

The guy paid more for that Vette (Corvette to the Corvette guys), so the advertised hp was more, on paper anyway!!! :rofl: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

Like the younger guy said other day, most of the "older "hobby guys that did their own body/paint, did interiors, stuff besides changing hear gaskets... have sold their place to live in a smaller place with no place to work on such or desire OR home wearing diapers! I relate! Patina is a word...

Welcome!!!! Hot roding is alive and well! I say, that the wheel of death to the Hurricane motor and make it FIT!!! :thumbsup: :steering:

The over exaggerated stories aren't the problem, the sad part is when believe them!!! :BangHead: :thumbsup:

Look at the front entrance in the pic, that "coc a doodle do" (Yankee chicken) is almost as tall as the door! Our little Dachshund rides in the cart when we venture out to a TS, ( in every town like Casey's up North!) That **** is so big it scared our little dachshund last week at TS in the...

Sounds like you have good cylinders with minimum wear. Perhaps a freshening will be adequate, unless you just want to go ahead and rebuild the entire engine and spend more $. If so, go ahead and take off the .1 I would add the 2 bbl "super six set up". Be sure to have a good distributor with a...

It is known as "poultry ****", damn rooster naked a a Jay bird! Do I read that price right??? $299.99 ? What is he made of, gold??? Our little town has a new TS about to open. We finally got our first traffic light.... OK the reason is for when school lets out! And the little portable...

I learned decades ago, IF I do a nut and bolt job on a model that has "value", I better sell it because I could not make myself NOT drive it and get a "flaw" on it. And I could not let it sit and not drive it. So the answer was to NOT buy any high end models to build or restore at all! Back...

All I know is that every yahoo on FB Market Place that has such year Nova, and hears of this auction results, half rotted into the dirt, missing half it parts, all of its drive train... will list his old Nova at 10 times what even any idiot would give!!!!! The so very few exceptional...

I'm lucky. Old, woreout and can do my own body/paint as good or not as good, as I want. I have said car because I want it, I will drive it, I will try to take care of it... but I know it will never stay as nice (or not nice) as when I finished it. A scratch, gravel peck, door ding, some kid...

Buyers for classics around here are few and far between! Probably 100"come look" I simply tell him, IF he will want the car to bring cash. Or he can wore my acct. the $ the next morning. I tell him the car will be here for him to inspect at the time he says he will arrive, and it will be...

All this talk engages my old brain, back to when I first started in the hobby, early eighties, but I am 77 and that was like 45 years ago, I am sure I am one of the "more senior" members here, and many members are maybe not even 45 yet! Since this is a discussion site, we all discuss! Fast...

A good r/e agent is worth their weight in gold. A bad one is not worth the bullet to ......... A good buyer understands the market. The funniest thing is the guy that puts up the sign "for sale by owner", in general around here. IMHO

Or most any model/brand of Classic car ! Also. like mentioned above, body shops hardly ever want to take on a resto! Too much fast $ in collisions. Used to, decades ago, in rural small town America, a young guy that wanted to make an extra $ and worked at a body shop (collision ) full time...
