Does your 5.0 overheat run hotter with underdrive pulleys??

Also, I saw a nice four eye up at the U Pull in WB with good fenders, extensions, and a decent nose. I think it was am 83? white.. On Southern Blvd by the turnpike.[/quote]


Ha Ha Ha!!!
Thanks for that heads-up Mike! I already plucked that chicken to the bones!!! A friend and I went up there last week and wham! there it was. Believe it or not, I looked high and low for that nose and couldn't find one anywhere - but there it was in a little bone-yard out west. South florida can be small for some of us.....

Thanks for the other info. I do plan to check Tim out. I have a 306 that I bought that needs balancing and other stuff.

I will let you know about gears....

haha. that's funny we saw the same car. That U Pull gets some decent cars in but they are picked clean in a week and often by a bunch of buthcers. I was there a month ago when a nice 88 vert came in with a cervini cobra wing on the trunk. This A hole couldnt get the trunk open so he chiseled the damn wing off, ruining the trunk lid. I offered him $50 to stop and I'd buy it right then so he wouldnt ruin the trunk and wing, but he kept hacking away. Then the next week he says it didn't fit his hatchback. Have you noticed that many parts are hacked off and the parts left over are broken? Makes me sick when I see all of the broken trim, plastic and interior pieces.

If you need engine work, Ronnie at M specialties does fantastic work. He worked my TFS heads and other machine work about 10 years ago that put me in the low 10's. IMO he's one of the top engine builders in S fla. I was just there today because they needed to weld on some new flow tubes on my muffler so my h pipe could fit.

there are plenty of other threads about choosing gears man I would search first but the short side of it is do you drive on the freeway much? if yes then 3.55 if seldom 3.73 if not at all 4.10s.


also the 75 amp alternator is hardly enough to run the vehicle let alone an efan.
