    high milage 347s

    I built one 7 years ago that i used longer rods to lower the sidewall pressure, moving the wrist pin higher in the piston. I also moved the rings up on the piston (yes, custom pistons are expensive) putting them where i wanted them to keep the oil ring out of the wrist pin. Im not sure it is...

    Anyone own a California Car Cover?

    Ive had a couple of them. Love them. Both inside and outdoor types. Fit was great, and water repulsion was excellent. They would attract dust, but I would go to a washateria (with large washers) and wash it according to their instructions occasionally. My black car wouldnt get scratched any...

    Multiple restoration questions

    Good advice above. As far as the window trim, it can be removed, with the proper tools (available at Late Model Restoration) if its built like Fox body cars. Then it can be sanded, primed and painted. Personally, i like the BBQ pit black paints for black exterior components. Has a nice...

    jegs/ summit cage

    I've welded in 2 sets of maximum motorsports now. One with swing out door bars. Both where very good fitting, even considering the door bars take some tweaking. I'll be putting one from them in the new project too.

    Are fox heaters really this bad?

    Mine doesn't blow very warm Either. Granted I can almost live without in south Louisiana but I'm a cold natured one. Glad to see about the thermostat thing. Never thought of that. I know the core isn't bypassed and I'll check level after reading this. A friend told me that a bunch of cars...
