    351w questions

    Yeah, I agree.........I am 42 years old, so I go back to the day when 400 hp was the 'Magic" number. EVERYBODY said their hot rod had 400 hp. Of course then when dynos became readily available.........most of those guys couldn't back it up. You are right about the 289/302's tho....I have seen so...

    351w questions

    Well, my first thought is 9 times out of 10, when someone "says" that they have 400 horsepower..........it is usually 300............get the specs on the cam, heads, etc, first before you start budgeting money towards upgrades.........otherwise just put in a shift kit and you'll probably be...

    Price question...

    The most important thing I have learned when negociating on a car is offer her the price. Tell her I have $10,500 and my dad/boss/girlfriend is willing to lend me $1500, would you take $12,000 for it? THEN, when/if she declines, say "OK, but would you please take my number and call me if you...

    306 is in and running!

    Nice, 10 days? That's pretty fast in my book. He has my 427W sitting over there. It's been done for months! I am waiting on him to finish up a catalog I am going to print (in trade for the engine) I need to call him and give him a little prod........in fact I think I will run over there today...

    When is it necessary to use a scattershield?

    DO NOT SKIMP ON SAFETY PARTS. Historic, you should know better. An factory truck bellhousing is better than an SFI rated STEEL scattershield? Not for my health and safety. If you're going to do it....do it right, not half-assed. Chris Barton

    afr engine combo

    While there is truth in what you say about advertising dollars making the mags favor certain parts, I don't believe they would alter dyno results to make a loser a winner because they spend more on ads. That is reaching a little. Hell, that's reaching a LOT. Come to think of it, I don't exactly...
