    Auxiliary back-up lights 2019 Ram

    So anyone with a newer Ram knows that the factory back-up lights don't do much more than simply let people behind you know you are in reverse. That's fine in an urban setting like a parking lot with streetlights. Out here in the country it gets damn dark. So I wanted something that didn't look...

    Easiest bearing race install I've ever done

    School me on hydraulic vs solid flat tappet cams

    So I have an old Cam Dynamics cam that I want to use in my cheap 360 build. It was given to me. With it, I also was given grooved shafts and adjustable rockers and 12-14 solid lifters thrown in a box. My question is this: What makes a cam a solid vs hydraulic lifter cam? Lobe ramp angle? Does...

    Outside storage for 3-5 years....

    If one was to store/save a project that won't be gotten to for 3-5 years, and does not have the inside space to store it because of 2 other projects in the works..... How would you do it and try to not have it waste away? It would be in a concrete driveway. I'm thinking up on blocks about 36...

    Picking up another to stash under the workbench

    I wasn't necessarily looking for one, but it found me. At least that's what I'm telling the wife.... Wednesday I am picking up a mid 70's 440 out of a motorhome. For $200, I can't afford not to go get it. So now, in 5 or 6 years, I'll have to decide if the 383 or the 440 goes in the 68...

    Added a front sway bar

    So 12 years ago when I was finishing up the Fury, I parted out a 69 Fury 383 car that had the factory front sway bar. At that time, my suspension and small block were done and I was getting ready for paint. As time flies with everyday life, I finally got around to doing what I should have done...
