it predated my time at the shop, but the story goes that one of the guys hooked a magneto to a drill and rigged it up to the door knob of the foreman's office. any and all shenanigans or chicanery was deemed a fireable offense when i did my stint in that joint. Boss King was a right prick...

ah! so you're the one that scooped it up! i saw it and contemplated, but i'm currently on double secret probation from buying more cars at the moment. looked like a solid car and a good deal.

"is it worth it?" is such a broad and wide ranging question. there's a lot of moving parts here, too. but basically it boils down to: to who? and in what capacity? to part it out? probably, but you'd work pretty hard to make that money. as a straight fluff and fold flip? yeah most likely. i'd...

let's go back to the report and see if we can extrapolate some reasoning: 2 passengers in the front 3 passengers in rear night time so, full boat of dudes making a beer run after wrenching? or bombing around town to check the veracity of repair and slamming some wobbly pops at the local...

have faith. with the help of an a-dapt-or kit you'll have it runnin' just like a song in no time!

that'd be a damn shame if he lost a couple of wheels off his truck or trailer while at the show. or if some tires just went mysteriously flat for no reason at all... (and somebody anonymously placed a call to local tire shops not to sell to some j-ball scumbag with that name and phone number)

indeed. when everybody wants a car that "sounds cool at idle" and is reluctant to spend <500 on that, it's kinda hard to sell 'em on 2K of converter and gears with a whole: "trust me, it's a game changer" line...

a cam or intake & carb swap is wholly within the wheelhouse of the general hotrodding public or shade tree hobby types. whereas gears, unless you're talking about swapping a pig on an 8.75 is a little more involved on a number of different levels: skill, specialty tools, cost or even...

it's when "perfect" becomes the enemy of "good enough" and honestly, most all of these engines are just fine and dandy at "good enough" and most owners will be more than happy with that outcome. i want a little more pep in my 318 2bbl: oh, well, sonny boy lemme tell ya something you're gonna...

it's cool, and it was innovative at the time. but there's a whole *** bucket full of choices made that i don't care for. granted some of those are for the whole "shock & awe" of a GM build, or general TV chicanery, some were likely due to constraints of time/money/ease of work, some are personal...

ah, i see we're right on track for page 2 >ditch the 318 and get a 5.9 >AJ telling us all that we don't know **** and that anything but his combo won't make enough power to pull a sick ***** off a piss pot. >low key sideways remarks i expect the discourse to be at least double this by...

it's a divisive topic... (sorry, i couldn't resist) there's some folks that swear there's no other way to do it; while others maintain that iffin' it ain't in the FSM it ain't the way to do it. one camp will proclaim that they've been doing it one way since jesus was a private and it never...

thank you for pointing that out. i'll amend the copy.

clean & tidy. love it. and it beats the pants off of: this is what my car sounds like idling videos.

welcome to the asylum!

I SAID I WAS ASKING FOR A FRIEND!! (also, i almost absconded with some of your neighbors burros, but they were giving me the side eye)

**black zip tie hold down in sold** top two are still available

is the new donkey more handsome than the old donkey? (asking for a friend) and what are you going to do with the old donkey? (asking for a different friend)

depends on what your bracket set up is over there. some of them like to invade the sovereign air space of dipsticktia. tons of options online. just avoid chrome.

if you have the motor open, say to swap or reseal the oil pan... i'd just flip that bish over and knock the mother out from the inside with a push rod.

WHAT?!?? HUH??!?!?? << has flowmaster 40's from 1994 1/2

hell yeah. we not even outta page 1 and we're already at 4.10's and a high stall converter. let's see 302 heads and some .500 lift cams before nightfall!

bro, you heard of christmas in july? so, this is the airing of grievances for the july festivus.

why? it's not like it fits your car anyway...

i don't think any of those cams are especially conducive to midrange torque. i like the numbers on the summit cam but don't like the 114 lobe, the eddy cam i'd like more in something with cubes and compression, the comp seems to be the best pick of the bunch but even then i'd err toward...

**one with the black zip tie in the lower right is pending**
