    Soĺ Cal fires

    One thing to keep an eye on is what we call Type Conversions. That is where a fuel type is burned away and burned so hot (due to dead/down, fuel loading, and ladder fuels) whereas the soil is neutralized and the seed bank is destroyed. The land then converted to a different fuel model, most...

    Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

    I plan to use a stock LC/LX radiator which means a hose that crosses the engine from the PS to the DS on the bottom. I don't like it, but it is at least down low unlike the later truck setups and some GC's where the top hose 180's and crosses the motor up top. I figure if the factory has it...

    What's the difference in a Hippo and a Zippo? One's big and heavy, the other's a little lighter..

    I could go on about this. The earth WILL burn itself if we don't. If the land is left unmanaged the natural fire regime will return and get on a natural cycle of burning every few years to decades. The reasons we should manage forests are dictated by urban sprawl, mountain communities, and...

    Yeah .. we spend a lot of energy saving structures . Sometimes you just gotta get the hell out of there . Explain to everyone how fast a fire can move in high winds .

    Replacement 68 340 four speed cams

    I did build a 69' 340 with the 68', 4-speed cam (purple DC cam). The car runs good when the RPMS are up, but I always wanted to install headers for an improvement. I never wanted to install the TQ set-up, due to the carb bowl leaking or cracking. I do have a Holley single plain on my 72' van...

    Got my shot in the back yesterday. They said 2 days to 2 weeks till it really kicks in. Still hurts, but noticed improvement. Didn’t think I was going to die putting my socks on this morning.:thumbsup:

    Soĺ Cal fires

    Exactly how are you going to clear millions of acres of brush and sage ? And brush doesn’t generally grow under old growth pines etc… not enough light through the canopy . Also the bark on old Ponderosas is so thick it’s damn near fireproof . Most overly brushy areas in a forest occur in...

    Talk me into or out of Holley Terminator X

    Nope , the price is too much for the reward to me. $2,000 I'd rather have in my bank account and I haven't seen a single answer that makes that worth it.

    Soĺ Cal fires

    It broke me. Chewed me up and spit me out. The 12 years I dedicated to throwing my body at nameless hills and canyons, vegetation that grows back, and homes that could be rebuilt seems like it was for nothing other than wonderful and terrible memories. It is moments like this that I get a little...

    I agree. That's why I always wanted to do one. Just leave it stone stock, save for the changes in the intake and carburetor and headers. I bet it'd get the dyno to 350 plus HP. That'd be impressive for such a mild build.

    I hear a lot of grumblings about forestry management in California its non-existent because of regulations and tree huggers. I’m not trying to poke the bear here but after years of years of fires. I think it’s time for folks to try something different. Not deforestation but control burns and...

    I chatted with him via PM last night. They are fine and out of harm's way for the fire, but kinda worried about the wind.

    Pulling Engine/Trans over the winter....Header Question??

    After thinking it over while I was taking stuff off for the removal of the Engine/trans - the more I looked at and cringed about how close everything is, the more thought it wasn't possible...... Decided on just taking out the transmission. Had a good friend come over last night (Who is a full...

    Ah, I didn't think about all the various tech and other goodies that have come out on the engines since then either. I keep forgetting that I did my swap over 10 years ago when TTI and Schumacher were pretty much the only things on the market. Made the decisions a lot easier in some regards...

    Lightweight flywheel options and selection criteria.

    I run a Mcleod 22lb sfi behind the 408 in my Swinger . W2 heads 246/250 on 108 cam and 3.91 gears. No issues street driving . A 3.09 first gear would make it perfect !
