I bought a longacre gauge and tried it out today. I’m either doing something wrong or I have an issue. Here’s my findings. Seems pretty basic but maybe I’m buggered up. - Passenger - Compression. .5” .055. 1”. .090...

I’m curious if the 22” rads keep up in stop and go traffic and ac on ? I currently have a 26” rad but 22” opening ( that’s what the car came with), works great but I need a new rad and would like to go to a 22”. Cutting the rad support is not an option.

I have a Geo tracker that is in excellent shape and I wouid like to keep it that way. I want to paint underneath the carpet, there’s some light surface rust and that’s it. I wouid like to undercoat to help with the cab noise but will this actually seal and not allow water to get trapped? I’ve...

Luxury Liner Pro - Mass Loaded Vinyl + Closed Cell Foam - 1 sheet 24"x54" (9sqFt) Anyone ever use something like this?

I’m starting my swap, I’m looking into tti headers. The only set they have that will work with stock k member and air conditioning say that a borgeson box is required but they don’t specify If the borgeson box is only required for a bodies or e bodies as well. Can any e body swappers chime in...

Well I’m starting my swap, I picked up my motor today. I have a few questions to start with. -I’m getting mixed reports on the oil filter with stock k member, can anyone tell me if the stock filter works or do I need the 45 adapter? - what kind of heater hoses to use ( with 90’s )? - is there...

im thinking about selling my la stuff and going genIII. I’m curious of what you guys think my stuff would be worth. All parts are i great condition except the block, I had gas get into the oil last fall. Here’s a rough idea on what I have. 340 block(20 over), needs hone and lifter bores bushed...

I understand the importance of a tv ( kick down) system but i always manually shift because it always seems to short shift in drive. So my question, do I still need the tv hooked up if always manually shifting ? I think the shift kit claims to turn the valve body into somewhat of a manual valve...

im thinking about a swap. found a built 6.1 but wondering how it woukd compare with a 6.4 with ported stock heads ?

I know the w2 heads are awesome but I would really like to stick with aluminum. This is for a street/ strip car. More street and highway cruising than anything.

I have a 416 currently tore down, it is a na engine with ported eddies and a hydraulic roller. I was thinking of getting more work done to my heads or different heads all together. Then I started snooping around this forum, well now I'm really debating. Now I'm thinking drop compression, change...

My motor is currently apart at the moment. I was considering changing top end and I stumbled across a supercharger for a Smallblock for sale. Now I'm thinking about dropping compression and sticking with the heads I have. Couple questions - will I lose throttle response on low rpm -...

So my engine has some issues do to gas getting in oil. So since I have to tear it down I'm thinking it's a good time to try to grab some extra ponies. I'm in no hurry cause summer is over in about 6 weeks here so my season is done. My combo is 416, 10.7:1, hydraulic roller (240ish duration and...

I recently installed the fitech 600 power adder, I was planning on installing a nitrous setup this winter but like a child waiting for Christmas...... Anyone have any advice on what kits are good/ bad. I'm looking for 100-150 shot. And a dumb question, I'm assuming I would be able to use the...

this winter I'm going to concentrate on getting my car to handle better. I notice a fair bit of bump steer. I've read up on how to fix bump steer but not sure on what gauge is the best

I recently upgraded to a denso alt, ever since I did I noticed my interior light would flicker at idle and a relay would click in my dash. Turned out the relay was for my vintage air, I checked volts at the relay and it was spiking to 15 volts. I checked volts at my electric fan and same...

my local parts store can't help me. I have a 90 amp Denso that I used for mock up, now that I know it will fit I want to go to the 120 ( I'm sure 90 will be ok but hey what the hell). They can't find a 120 with v belt, only serpentine. Is there such a thing or do I have to go with 120 and...

I think I've read more in the past week than I have in my entire hi school years. I have a Smallblock with eddy heads and would like to upgrade the alternator. I purchased a 90 amp Denso but its to tight to the head. Now I'm looking at a gm style but I can't find where anyone has successfully...

I'm building a receiver hitch for my car, i was going to use 1.25" x 1.25" square stock. I'm sure this will be plenty strong enough for the load I'll be hauling (under 2000 lbs including trailer ) from what I understand is 4130 has a high shear strength. My question is what is stronger, square...

has anyone been able to use one on a Smallblock with eddies,I know the 60 amp fits because the output stud is on the side but looks like the 90 amp would need custom brackets.

I'm currently running flowmaster delta 50s on a 2.5" system. Tti headers, h pipe and full tailpipes behind a 500+ hp stroker. I've been reading on how restrictive my current mufflers are so would like to free up some ponies. Out of these three, which one would have the least drone and cab noise...

I want to change out my rpm intake for a single plane, I've narrowed if down to these two. The victor is the 340 version, not the super victor. The victor is a tad shorter than the m1 and my hood clearances are tight so I'm leaning that way but with a little shimming and adjusting the m1 will...

I've been looking for a victor intake for my Smallblock 408. I stumbled across one for sale that had .030 milled off. The seller said that his engine was decked so that his Pistons were at zero. My build was also decked. Is this something that could work for me or should I just stay clear.

I'm running ez 1.0 on my 416. I've always fought with low vacuum. I was going to swap my rpm dual plane with a victor single but recently spoke with a member here who suggested switching to a Holley or fitech system that doesn't require a strong vacuum signal. I was convinced but the more I...

i have a smallblock non ac car with a vintage air set up. For those of you that don't know this setup uses an extra pulley on the crank. So in other words it's the original 2 groove plus a heavy cast iron single groove added. I recently come across a factory 3 groove pulley (origin unknown) but...

Im currently running a rpm intake topped with fast tbi injection, I was told that going to a single plane would help a lot with carb signal and reversion. I'm looking at the super victor with injector bosses for multiport injection. My problem is hood clearance, how much can be machined off? And...

So I'm running 12.1 @ 110mph, as we all know that's so close to being in the 11s that I gotta do it. Race season is done around here for the season but I would like to make some changes throughout the winter. Here is my setup 74 barracuda,3800lbs, 416, ported eddies, hydraulic roller...

I have a fresh built 416 with ported eddies, I was considering stepping up to big mouths but noticed the new victor heads that supposedly outflow the big mouths by A considerable amount. Anyone here have any expierience with the victors? This leads me to another question. I'm running fast...

I've been running a fast ez efi setup for 3 years now but lately I've been having problems. One thing about fi is that when it works it is awesome, when it doesn't there are to many variables. So I'm going back to a carb, I was going to get a Holley 850 double pumper quick fuel and was wondering...

looking to upgrade my rad, there's a local guy with one of these for sale. Has anyone had any experience with them?
