    I'm still fairly regular over in the Squeaky Wheel. I can't remember why I stopped posting over here so until I remember I suppose I'll stick around :D

    Also who has experience with Por-15? I'm thinking about doing my engine bay in black before all this goes in. Thoughts?

    These beauties came in yesterday. They should flow a bit better than the old Mac's they're replacing. Also got my valve spring compressor, just waiting for a day off to work on it.

    BBK 1 3/4 full length clearance experiences?

    Well, I searched until I was sick of searching. I know this topic has been covered over the years but I can't find a thing about it. I can find all sorts about their 1 5/8 but nothing about the 1 3/4. According to their website these are a literal stock replacement (apart from the mid pipe...

    Yeah I was using the dial type compressor and the first problem was that it was a POS from Harbor Freight. I got a better one and then realized it isn't gonna work for double springs. I ordered a stud mounted version from Summit, hopefully will get here tomorrow.

    Sooooooo......trying to remove the valve springs so I can put the soft springs in and measure for these pushrods....but the stupid spring compressor keeps popping off before it compresses the spring enough to get the retainers out. Any tips?

    This new site will take some getting used to!

    Stickies don't stand out enough from other threads. It's kind of a nightmare on mobile.

    Man someday in the future I know, the entire floor pan is getting cut out of mine, it's getting at least a 6 point cage with low door bars, through the floor frame ties, mini tubs, tubular K...the works. It's just a looooong way off lol.

    Yeah man this "project" is 15 years in the making. I didn't have the garage until a few years ago but I still should have made it happen before now.

    I always thought if I had a garage to work in I'd never stop messing with it but all it has done is give me a safe place to neglect the hell out of it. I do see myself getting sucked back in once it runs again. Good news is the engine isn't seized up or anything, it turns over just fine. I...

    Well I guess that settles it, iI'l give the SVE a try. I'm gonna see what u can do with this Contour fan too. My to-do list is ridiculous. I still have 90% of the interior to finish but I want the thing drivable before I bother with that. I've got new carpet ready to install too but I...

    You're the second person who's told me about dirt cheap 3 cores but I can't find any anywhere, everything I find is like $500+. I think I actually have a Contour fan in my garage, and I think I even sorted out a simple mounting method but it's been forever since I worked on that. Wiring is my...

    Heck all I need is some pulls, I can tune the thing myself. These days I dunno if I could trust any "tuner" with a carb setup anyway, it's a bit of a lost art.

    Ha, get this....It has been so long since I first built the 347 and now, the only speed shop in town with a dyno is now closed :lol: So now I have no idea where I can get it dynoed but I'll figure it out eventually. I'll be happy if it hits 400rwhp but we'll see.

    Heck I dunno I searched. There was no way I was flippin pages to find it :shrug: I've pretty well sorted out measuring for pushrods, so once that's done and ordered I really just have one solid day of wrenching and this turd should be running again. I'm open to suggestions for a decent...

    Y'all got any of them there horsepowers 'round here? :scratch: Going out in the morning to measure for the ol' push rods, then order from Summit and probably have them Monday. I'm hoping to maaaaaybe have this POS started by Tuesday night. Driving....not so much...but I need to hear it run...
