    Coolant coming out of timing cover bolt hole

    I have a 68 340 and noticed yesterday coolant leaking from the gasket between the timing cover and block. We pulled the front of the engine off to replace the gaskets and it appears as if coolant is coming out of one of the timing cover bolt holes. Do any of these bolt holes go through coolant...

    Building your own headers.

    Years ago my wife and I built a set of headers for my ‘70 Mustang and I recall it took us about three hours to make each tube. Just wanted to give you a gauge as to how much time you’ll have in them.

    About to build my diff- What limited slip?

    I just recently got a new 489 3rd member from Quick Performance with a Detroit locker and I'm really happy with it. I took right at two months to get it but it was worth the wait. I don't hear any clicking going around turns with it. I also had a Detroit locker in a '70 Mustang years ago and...

    What did you order for your car today ?

    That is a big job. I had to do that job twice on my 06, which is a bit more difficult than doing a 2003-2005. I had to pull the entire dash out (have to on an 06) to replace my doors and then about two years later had to do it again to do the evap coil.

    Desperate things you did to keep an engine running...

    In the mid 90’s I had a ‘77 Ford pickup with a 351M that had a knock develop while four wheeling it. I’m thinking it was a wrist pin as the oil pressure was still ok. I was in the process of building a 460 for it so I needed to keep it running for just a little bit longer as it was my daily...

    How much did a gallon of gas cost when you first started driving?

    I worked at an Amoco gas station when I was in high school, 1987-1990. At our station it was .99 for regular, 1.09 for mid grade, and 1.19 for premium. We were the highest around our area but those prices never changed the entire time I was there.

    Car hauler trailers

    I paid $1500 for this 2004 Top Brand trailer about five years ago. It’s got two 7000 pound axles with brakes on all wheels so it’ll tow heavier stuff than a car if need be. It’s 22’ long with fold up ramps.

    Drag Racing With Clutch Type Sure-grip

    They do break. I recently bought a used unit that looked ok but exploded after three passes behind a 450 ish Hp 340. Apparently it came out of a 12.0 360 Dart. It was a tough pill to swallow. Whatever you choose to do, I’d buy new.

    Cragar wheel question

    Thank you for the info. The wheel shop said that they thought they would most likely clear based off their experience with Cragars but didn’t know about the current offerings. I’m going to go with what you posted as I wouldn’t think they’d make that section a smaller diameter with more and more...

    Cragar wheel question

    My car has the springs moved in. I am currently running billet specially 15x8 wheels with a custom offset. I would have to do the same with the cragars but the wheel shop doing the offset wanted me to check on this measurement beforehand.

    Bell Never Aligned

    I just did this this past week. I was switching from a factory bellhousing to a scattershield. The scattershield (checked with a dial indicator on a magnetic base) was was out .050 side to side and .013 up and down. I made a set of offset dowel pins on my lathe and it was too much offset...

    Mancini HD rear leaf springs

    Mine sits a little crooked too. I haven't measured it, but don't think it is off two inches. I have noticed weird tire wear on the passenger side tire's inner portion of the tire. Never had this with the stock springs and the stock springs had worn out bushings. The xhd springs have new...

    Smith Brothers

    They are awesome. I spoke with Pierre about two weeks ago. I needed another set of pushrods due to my heads being milled .060 and using thinner head gaskets. He said to send them back and they would shorten them. Didn't have to buy another set. Originally, back in 2005, they were $170 with...
