    Review On Broader Performance

    I think he might still use their kit on full auto cars. But he said he does not use their full manual kit due to mutiple problems with it. That is why he designed his own vb.

From what the couple trans guys that i talked to could tell me, is that the 2nd Band was not releasing when it was trying to turn 3rd on, Causing the transmission to not shift into...

    Confused with '66 motor mounts- what do I really need?

    X2 on these mounts. They are the same price you will pay for the stock setup which is crap. These are the ones i have, and it did help with header / motor install. 289/302/351 all have the same motor mount point on the block.

    UP22.com Hood

    I ended up going with Unlimited Products for my hood, due to the size that they had avalible. With the 351, super victor intake and extreem velocity carb hat, my motor sits fairly high. I picked up their 4 3/4in cowel hood. The fitment was PERFECT, the top part of the hood is excellent. Then...

    Headers for 65 with 347 and Z Heads?

    Well, im assuming the exhaust ports are raised, which is giving you the problem. Maybe try a 351 swap header? It might give you clearance in the right spots. Id suggest the hooker headers. They are not cheap, but fit way better then the heddman crap. Just a idea.

    Love the Beast

    Watching that car crash gives you goose bumps. Especially if you have spent a lot of time on your personal hot rod. Crashing is the nightmare! Like Eric said, id rather have my arm in a sling then see the car that way..

    Opinions wanted on a 351w build...

    As far as off the shelf cams, the Anderson Ford Motorsport cams are pretty sweet. Might be worth a call.

    anybody tried the Total Cost Involved front suspension?

    Looks like you can get the TCI setup with coil overs for about 2500 right now. Thats actually a great deal.

    Need help to reinstall my distributor.

    pull the number 1 spark plug, and hand turn the motor over via a big wrench untill you get on the compression stroke. You will feel a lot of air coming out of the plug hole at that point, (enough to where it pushes your finger off the hole. Then watch the degree's on your crank till it hits...

    Where to put all these gauges?

    Racepak is not a bad idea at all. Check out Larry Larsons setup. Stock gauges still, but race pak on the side. Pic is in the middle. Bang Shift : Gallery : Larry Larson 1966 chevy nova

    The welder im planning on getting ths summer is a Miller Auto feed. For about $800, it does some awesome welds. You just tell it what size metal your welding, and what size wire your using, and it does the rest.

    Turbo Headers for a 65 with a 351w

    Well, i did the same mod on my 65. But the problem is, the part where the upper control arms mount is actually where the headers run. Now, i had after market heads with higher exhaust ports, and 1 7/8th headers, which did not help at all. But when i dropped my motor in, there was no way to have...

A few places only have either 3in or 6in. 6 is just plain...
