    Forced Induction On3 Turbo Kit- Parts list NEEDED - 302 Stock Motor

    Sounds like you have a completely stock car. IMO, you are a long way from a turbo. Yes, do subframes, five lug, disc brakes in the rear and the suspension first, especially if it's a good quality car. There is a reason people suggest the nicest jackstands with a turbo kit.

    Classic Car Insurance

    It would seem the main concern is that it's not your daily driver. I'm also somewhat sure it's nearly impossible to determine where you are going. And i'm guessing nobody here parks their car in a closer spot near anyone. Copy and Pasted from Grundy's site: How Can I Use My Car? Grundy wants...

    Classic Car Insurance

    I'll agree, they would be exposed by now. I think Grundy's business model is that they insure cars most people don't really drive. I've had runs where the car saw less than 100 miles in 3 years, so i paid them roughly $900 to drive 100 miles (and i'm probably high balling that number, it could...

    Classic Car Insurance

    I've had Grundy probably for 10 years. Never made a claim, so i have no idea how getting a payout works. Funny thing, i had it at 25k for like $300 a year and decided i wanted to switch to 30k, 30k actually costs less than 25k to insure. I asked how that is possible and they told me the more...

    Engine Unexplainable Exhaust Pop and Gurgle

    I think first we need to establish what a 1986 non HO Tbird engine really was. A few searches yielded a few different answers, was it a roller cam? Flat top piston low compression engine? Looks like the hp may have been 150hp from the factory? If the answers are yes, everything I see suggests...

    BaT: $227k+ Coyote fox auction

    Bring A Trailer has got to either be shady or full of fools (maybe both) with too much money. From my other hobby (pinball and arcade machines) people have been listing car related games up on BAT and they are bringing crazy money, sometimes 5 to 10 times the numbers the machines really sell...

    347 advice

    NA or supercharged is a pretty loaded question. I think NA is more reliable. I also think SC is better to drive. I'd also say it's debatable on spending the money to build a 347 then adding the supercharger when the blocks limit is already 500rwhp. Personally, i'd be more comfortable with...

    347 advice

    The block will be fine if you don't delete the rev limiter, which is 6250. Custom cam for sure. When it comes to a NA engine, 400rwhp and 450rwhp are miles apart.

    1990 Convertible door squeaking

    If it is the door pins, i've done it a bunch of ways (all without help), but i've found that hanging the door from the ceiling with straps or rope in a neutral position is probably the easiest.

    1990 Convertible door squeaking

    There are probably a few things to check. The striker bushing may be bad and or out of position. It's like t50 torx to adjust it. Also, if the door hinge pins have never been done, check them. Open the door to various positions and pick up on the bottom. Don't just try it in one spot, some...

    SN95 Hydroboost in a Fox | Brake lines

    Doesn't look like you used the hydroboost mounting kit from maximummotorsports. I'd rethink that plan before going further, the geometry is going to be off and the brakes feel notably better with the kit.

    Acceleration Vibration

    Yes, it can be done with a wrench only, but if i remember correctly, if you have an impact, extension and swivel 12mm and you rotate the shaft, you can take it out quicker.

    Acceleration Vibration

    Taking the driveshaft out isn't much work as long as you have the correct wrench and swivel socket. Changing the u joints with a press from harbor freight is not all that hard either. When the history is unknown, I think you just change them. With that said, I'm also a fan of taking the...

    Engine Fuel pickup problems

    Just run the gss340. I didn't think the boost a pump was ever a thing for cars with return systems, i was under the impression that is how you increased pressure for non return systems. Foxes just dump the excess back in the tank. I've run external pumps, it's expensive and a pain to setup...

    What is a big butt trailer? An online search yields many results, most of which are big butt short movie trailers, many are indeed entertaining to say the least, but have little to no relevance to automobiles. I'm being serious, so if you have a desk job, don't look it up at work. The reason i...

    Forced Induction Prepping for supercharger on non-stock build

    I haven't seen that Harrop kit before, i guess the price is high, but pretty much all kits like that cost a ton these days, we were just used to $2000 vortech kits, so most superchargers seem expensive to people that have been around a while. I'd be curious on how it fits under a hood, i always...

    Brakes ATS brembos and drums

    Pick a proven setup and do all four corners. No shortcuts, no saving money (other than on the right parts at cheaper prices), no doing it for looks (which is what 4 piston in the front and drums in the rear sounds like to me). Do it once and do it right and most likely you will never work on...

    Progress Thread Monkeybutt2000's 89 vert build thread- 408w build in progress

    Are you sure it's the rack? Not that i'm against going to a newer rack, but i've had the fittings leak from the hoses.
