    A Big Thank You to Everyone

    Oh brother. The young bucks probably liked it better lowered too. But, my long tubes wouldn't clear the speed bumps in my neighborhood. Plus my back and butt are not as chipper as they use to be. Those cobras rode like hammered dog $h17.

    Help removing

    Whoa! The radiator does not need to be removed. Just the brackets so you can push it toward the engine and pull the condensor up.

    A Big Thank You to Everyone

    You're not the first to tell me that fiveoh. I'm undecided on the gears Lars. It's mainly a street car and I have so many things I want/need to do to it. If I do it will be 3:55's but it would be way down on the list behind paint, supercharger, electric fan, upgraded alternator, etc....I...

    How would you use a $10k budget?

    Well I can honestly say driving my own $1000 dollar build is intimately more satisfying than my buddies cars who all had them built and are too afraid, or knowledgable to do their own work. I would buy something in good shape (body and interior complete) and work off of that. I would not get...

    Ebay seller rant

    I stay away from eBay at all cost. What good is it to save money if you have to go through a headache like this? I'd rather pay a bit more and buy from a reputable company.

    My car is also 10mph off as verified by a civic next to me with a digital speedometer. Wonder if I have the same problem?

    BBK Longtubes hitting steering shaft

    I know this has been discussed before but I couldnt find a definative answer. When I had stock heads the shaft cleared the longtubes by a few millimeters. Now that I've gone to GT40P's it rubs. I just need a few millimeters again for it to clear, anyone have any suggestions?

    Runs good. Still needs timing set, a new fuel pump, new multifunction switch, tail light lenses, a supercharger.....etc. Still have the wandering idle but it goes away after warm up.

    lets talk engines. your list of the best engines ever made and the future of them.

    always been fascinated by the wankel rotory motor. Idk what it is about them they are not terrible efficient or powerful but just how the power delivery is so much different than a pushrod or ohc motor. One day I hope to own a pre 87 Mazda rx7.

    Injector Gurus Halp

    I have a set of orange top labeled python. Can anyone tell me what lb injectors these are? I have a GT40P Head Cobra intake stock cam and at idle it runs rough and backfires. When I put load on the engine it smooths out. The plugs seem fuel soaked so I'm wondering if the injectors are to blame...
