    paint ?

    Dont have any pics ( and if I did they wouldnt show the effect) I painted a Trans Am for my wife bright blue and mixed some violet pearl in the clear.. very nice effect without being over the top cheezy.At a glance it looked looked like the original blue but in some light and from different...

    Intake VS

    If youre going with a custom cam from someone like Ed Curtis or Buddy Rawls its probably in your best interest to talk your application over with the cam designer.. You should buy an intake to match the cam rather than vice versa.

    Intake VS

    With the AFR 185s....Stealth..or even a vic jr would probably do well, the cam and carb tuning will play a bigger role in the streetability. Have you chosen a cam yet? For off the shelf cams the Comp XE274HR is a sweetheart . Can you be more specific in your application, gears, transmission...

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Problems (overheating) after re-installing heads

    Id bet you put the head gaskets on backwards and blocked the water passages.

    Fat person in the trunk somewhere?

    You dont REALLY want to put lift springs on do you? Standard springs will make her sit proud again, lift springs go well with real wide slotted mags and big fat bias ply 50 series ties sticking out of the wheel openings.

    boost or stroked?

    Ive had both, boost beats stroker in the fun factor dept hands down every time. With that said if youre considering road racing I say neither like the above posters. Road racing isnt about power, its about handling and smooth driving.. Take a 450 hp car on the track and see how many poeple whoop...

    EFI or no?

    If you can solder you can make your own return line into the sending unit. Buy a 1 foot length of streel fuel line, cut and bent it to your liking. Drill a hole in the sending unit that corresponds with the tube diameter, clean anf lux both and solder it in.. Mine been like that for 3 yrs and...

    EFI or no?

    Driveability is the key word here, EFI can tame some of the wildest motors. Carbs no doubt can make equal power, but no way can it match the constantly varying timing and fuel curves that EFI provides. Although to get max power you may need a dyno tune,you dont NEED one to have good running...

    Quick EFI firing order question?

    Yep! It worked fine, but Ive got to admit I didnt run it for an extended period before going the HO route, simply due to my cam needs. The adaptive strategy will cetainly make changes and yes it may not be 100% perfect due to injectors being swapped from one cyl bank to the other, but on a daily...

    Cylinder Head issue

    Edelbrock heads are factory helicoiled for this reason. If it were mine and I was pulling the head to helicoil one hole, Id take the time to do them all and be done with it.

    Ouch! Coilovers w/o new wheels=pain

    I cant imagine living where you need to secure your floor jack with a cable, inside a garage. If youre only going 20 miles why not spread a bit of grease on the inside of the tires and carefully drive it there. If you drive slowly and carefully even if you did get a flat it wouldnt be a big...

    Need info on shelby a-arm drop

    No special parts needed, you can simply remove the upper control arms, drill new holes 1" lower and 1/8" rearward and reinstall everything if youd like..no effect on wheel choice that Im aware of. An alignment is necessary afterwards.

    EFI conversion help!!!

    I used some formulas a couple yrs ago to calculate injector size and ended up scrapping it and following the advice of a dyno operator aquaintance. If you went strictly on theory using those formulas I think we'd find theres a large number people out there having lots of success running...
