Weren't those engines real torquey? propelled the heavy cars pretty well like the C bodies?

There's scuttlebutt that he bought his subs. YT apparently is looking into people who have fake bought subs. But I'm not 100% on that its hearsay. If you Google "buy yt subs " links will pop up...Uncle Tony is a clown though his recent video a guy drives 3/4 way across the country to race him...

If you can look it up on Rock Auto ,I bought a couple kits there recently one for a BBD and one for a Thermoquad...you may need to ascertain what car it may have been on and look it up by vehicle...worth a try.

IMO it is Because they are willing to be misinformed...Tony will say things like "I used to love being a mechanic..." I can tell he was never a successful mechanic not proffessionallly...what he was as we all know was a dismantler and used parts seller...taking them apart isn't being a mechanic IMO.

It doesnt natter if the car runs like crap... have you seen any of his builds go down the track? even in 1980 the perfomance would be dismal.

I like a 340...

The stock one... don't throw it away...:)

It happened on my 8 3/4 open rear years ago...the way you describe the noise sounds similar but my noise was very loud resonated through the driveshaft to the 4 speed shifter, I thought it was in the trans at first but I turned my head and the angle of my ear indicated it was coming from behind...

My Year one story goes way back,maybe to the late 90s. I ordered something there and waited and waited and waited...finally called them they said "its on back order". Ok couldnt you have called or something. I ended up waiting till it showed up I don't remember how long but i seem to recall 6...
