    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find one or two on The Corral, either . . .

    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    Oops! Sorry, Missed that part! Heck, there's really no need to increase cubes then--just a stronger block and more boost!

    That is NOT a '67 coupe, it is a 71-73 coupe.

    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    I wouldn't recommend trying to put that power level through a stock roller block, you're just asking for it to split. Seen too many people report that this has happened to them above 450HP at the crank. As to a 331 producing that kind of power, you certainly won't get to that level without...

    Drag Strip Issues (W.O.T. Cutout)

    Good catch and good point! If you have an Overdrive, you don't have a C-4! Also, it sounds as though there might be fuel feed issues . . . perhaps not enough volume to the carb.

    What exactly did "rebuilding the car" encompass? Did you do any work on the transmission?

    Finished Polishing Connecting Rods

    What exactly is the reason for polishing the beams on those rods? Do you plan to run the engine at sustained speeds of 7000RPM for hours? As far as I am aware, about the only benefit of removing the casting flash from the rods is to eliminate stress risers, and polishing the beams is only...

    Drag racing issues

    Maybe I'm blind, but I'm not seeing any traction bars in that picture . . . If you have them installed, but they weren't installed when you took that picture, what traction bars exactly do you have? How do you have them set up? From what I've heard, read and seen, people with a set of...

    Randall rack install...

    That's all well and good, but I personally couldn't care less about road courses. I'm not interested in them, never have been, most likely never will be, so my cars have not and probably won't ever see one. I like the options available when using a strut, such as using the late model...

    Randall rack install...

    Experiences like dbfarr's and calpolymustang's are exactly why I am glad I chose the AJE route. It uses a tubular K-member and tubular lower control arms, just like an aftermarket kit for a late model car It uses a set of struts, either stock SN95 or a set of JE's proprietary struts It uses...

    Rear leaf spring eye bolt cannot be cut

    I read on another forum that lots of folks just use heavy-duty carbide blades that don't have actual teeth--only abrasive material on them. Some people said they went through two blades on each side . . . don't know how much the blades cost, or where they got them, but they said they worked...

    Type of Nail Gun for MDF Console / Speaker box?

    Ever think about just doing it the old fashioned way, and use a hammer and some nails? I know it's not fashionable, but it sure is a lot cheaper . . . and you don't have to worry if you're using the "right nail gun" . . .

    Elecric Fan and Adjustable Fan Controller

    Guys, I never even stopped to take a look at his location! Yep, if he's truly in Turkey, it might be difficult to find one of those fans used . . . ( ;-{)}

    Elecric Fan and Adjustable Fan Controller

    You might consider a different combination; Mark VIII or Taurus fans are MUCH better than the Derale unit (in most cases, factory units are generally higher quality than comparable aftermarket units), flow a LOT more air (around 3500CFM vs. 2200 for the fan you have listed), and you can probably...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    That's awesome man! Congratulations! I'm glad you were able to trace down the problem! I can't take credit for suggesting that you check the distributor--that was suggested by 67coupe--and a good suggestion it was!

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    That's a good point--I wasn't even considering the possibility that the distributor wouldn't be lined up properly!

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    OK, so--the timing mark on my bone stock '89 5.0L coupe is a plate with a pointer, and a notch in the dampener; on the dampener is a series of lines with degree marks next to them. You may need to make sure of a couple of things: 1.) Make sure the dampener and timing indicator are from the...
