    Bolt-on vs. weld-on subframe connectors

    I believe I am going to follow that website of how to fabricate the connectors. My uncle owns a metal fabrication shop so he can easily do it for me. Thanks everyone!

    Bolt-on vs. weld-on subframe connectors

    I am about to purchase subframe connectors for my 68 coupe. I was wondering if it would be better to get the bolt-on or the weld-on subframe connectors. Also, what brands are the best?

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    My intent is to drive this car only on beautiful sunny days. Drive to town and back. Rip around the neighborhood. Race chevys from the stop lights. Go to the drag strip on occasions. Go to the monthly cruise ins at WalMart. Go to local car shows. I live in rural Pennsylvania where there are...

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    I understand what everyone is saying. I use to own a Z06 with 550hp and it was very streetable. You could easily drive it to work or on a 500 mile road trip. I know this car will not be anything like that. I won't be using it to drive to work or going on any road trips. However, it won't be a...

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    I think I am going to try my current suspension setup and see what happens. I am going to install the Caltrack system as well. I want to use the high stall and the 4.11 gears to launch hard...plus my engine builder is building the engine for that setup. If it doesn't hook up to my satisfaction...

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    This may seem like a dumb question but why is the front suspension so important?

    How much HP will a C4 hold?

    I am just thinking about buying a junk 70 era C4 and rebuilding it. I imagine that's basically what P.A. , B&M, etc. are.

    How much HP will a C4 hold?

    I think I made a mistake...my current trans has a 24 spline input shaft. I would imagine my torque would be about 500 to.

    How much HP will a C4 hold?

    I am building a 408W that is going to be making around 500-600hp. I have a rebuilt 68 C4, 26 spline tranny with high performance clutches and a B&M shift kit. My engine builder tells me that pre 1970 C4's are junk and I need to get a 70's C4 to handle the power because of the bigger input shaft...

    How to get rid of smoke odor in interior

    I was using a cutting torch under my car and a few sparks some how made its way into the interior and caught the backseat's padding on fire. I didn't notice it right away until the interior filled with smoke. There isn't any fire damage, just smoke damage. I stripped my interior and I'm going to...

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    Does anyone have any experience Caltracs? How well does it work? It looks like it would work pretty well.

    shelby style hood for regular front end

    The weird thing is the hood fits perfectly around the perimeter. It lines up very nicely around the sides, back and even the front but it just has about an inch bow up if you look at it from the side. I have thought about putting weight on it to flatten it out but I'm afraid that when I do that...

    How do I hook up 600hp?

    I am building a 408W stroker that will make 600hp. I will be running 4:11 gears in a 9" posi with a 3500rpm stall through a C4. I have intalled GrabaTrak suspension on the car with 4 1/2 leaf springs, Edelbrock IAS shocks all around, 620 lowering springs in the front (1" drop), 1" sway bar in...

    shelby style hood for regular front end

    No, I'm sorry. I am doing a drivetrain swap so I have the hood off right now. It should be back together in about a month or two.

    Alcohol or Pump Gas?

    Since I will be burning so much fuel with this motor I am afraid I might run out when I'm driving around so I better be running a fuel that I can fill up at a gas station. I think I am going to stick to pump gas. 600hp on pump gas is not to shabby.

    Alcohol or Pump Gas?

    The engine builder was refering to the same alcohol that he uses in his 8 sec drag car so I would assume it's race alcohol not E85.
