    need some help polishing

    I would use the least aggresive I could to start out with and go from there. I know the t-bird covers were so heavy and had so much material you could get away with sanding the hell out of them. One other thing when you do get to the higher grit def go the way of the wet sanding method and go...

    need some help polishing

    you can start with something lower and work your way up. I have started with 500 on the old 55-57 alum valve covers on t-birds and just worked my way up to 2000 grit and then used the white rouge and a polishing wheel and then used the mothers polish on them and they all came out really nice.

    need some help polishing

    are they alluminum or steel (chrome), check that I forgot you said rust. How bad is the rust? I think 200 is to aggresive you are just going to scratch the hell out of those things. If the rust is not bad you can use mothers mag polish, if that does not work on the rust I think they are to...

    Let's discuss aluminum heads... BTW: Dumped the Chevy

    your combo is probably making about 400 to 425 horse power at the wheels to lay down those kind of numbers and I am not doubting it one bit, it is still not 500 hp at the flywheel, say whatever you want, your close and to do it under 6000 rpms which was discussed in the orig post just not...

    about to dump 3k into Rod and Custom suspension...advice please!

    I have used the R&C kit on my own cars and installed many os them on customers cars and I personally think the kit is well worth it, you just plain get everything you need without having to source out anything. You could do it cheaper with junkyard parts but why? This is just the way to go you...

    Let's discuss aluminum heads... BTW: Dumped the Chevy

    I dont care what you do to any stock 351 w head it wont make 500 plus horse power N/A they cant support any where near enough air flow to make those kinds of numbers. Now a dart iron or world sr. head could accomplish those kinds of numbers.

    Let's discuss aluminum heads... BTW: Dumped the Chevy

    You will never achieve 500 plus horse power with 351 w ford casted cyl heads, ever!!! even on a big cubed 351 They just wont flow the kinds of numbers to make that kind of power. I dont know what program you are using to come up with those numbers but if you would like to check out some...

    How to get a 67 coupe into the 10's?

    I dont know where all this mis information comes from maybe its just people just liking to stick there noses where it just does not belong. Horse power does not mean anything if you dont get it to the ground. A 700 hp car that weighs 3000 pounds that hooks will go low 9's easy Any thing over...
