    A body 8.75" housing

    All bodystyles brakes will work as long as they are from a 3 inch axle tube reaqr end,includeing 8 1/4 8 3/4 D60 9 1/4 . I used B body 8 1/4 on mine. Shock plates fit too. You will end up 3/4 " wider per side with the B or C brakes and axle setup. -

    Its gonna smell in here

    I have seen Cats eat their young alive too. And I had a black and white Sylvester looking female that would hide black kittens and abandon them. They all seem to have different personalities,my last cat lived 15 years and I decided I dont need another,last week a mother and six kittens greeted...

    how far back does the big block in your a-body sit?

    If the trans crossmember and mount are unaltered then the fore aft position is correct. The upper belhousing bolts are removed from below after dropping the rear of the trans,with a long extension and swivel socket. Its actually easiest to take engine trans and Kframe out the bottom together.

    Rented a movie and got a surprise

    I rented a DVD at the local video store,started watching it and the main character is in a 68 Cuda with Hemi scoop. According to the story its an original Super Stock Hemi. He is trying to stop a serial killer in a 72 Eldorado that ran over his wife years ago. The movie wasnt that good,but at...

    You won't believe this!!

    Sounds like they have them already made up to fit stock width. Are you keeping the small bolt pattern? I have a Dana housing and 4.10 gears and I am going to do it the hard way and make my own.

    The smaller pieces are in your oil pickup screen. If and when you tear down for new heads take the pan off too and clean.

    Engine pinging? what to do??

    A longer duration on the intake side with a later closeing intake valve might bleed off enough compression to run without pinging. The overlap happens at the end of exhaust/begining of intake cycle and actually raises the compression at some point in the RPM range. I run 10.5-10.65 to 1 on 93...

    the header installation thread.. well, ??? anyway...

    More than 4 inches, I lowered a Dakota that had a 4x4 axle on a 2wd truck. It lowered the rear bumper a good 12 inches. Just get a new set of springs. You can run cast iron manifolds and a good dual exhaust with nearly the same street performance and they dont leak. Headers are notorius for...

    Asked to move to Mt. PLeasant Ia !!!

    See if you can get compensated for the Man house. Thats a shame,I want to build a 4 stall garage with living quarters above,and a hoist in stall number 4. I have found the plans and bought the land but need the cash to build. Good luck.

    440 duster

    If your Duster is a V8 car 73 or newer all you need are late model spool mounts and make your own DC K frame. Info is at Bigblockdart.com Years ago I started my project and couldnt afford the K frame, I had a 75 fury with a 360 I was junking so I cut off the spool type K frame tabs. Used the...

    sanding drywall sucks

    I hate regular drywall finishing! Does the concrete based stuff take a different mud? In a bathroom you need all the protection you can get. Are you covering it with tile or is the tile somewhere else?

    Starting a buisiness

    I decided to try it part time after hours and keep my day job unless my current boss fires me. I doubt he will like the idea,and the shop is only 75 yards away from his. I plan on parting out a few cars and doing a little after hours preformance type work that probably wouldnt have gone to his...

    PCV system

    Although the PCV system was added as an emmisions control it has other benefits. It does reduce leakage and I think it reduces moisture in the oil too. I have seen one race car that runs both a PCV and evac,I havent checked it out well yet to see how its plumbed.

    Truck / Trailer question?

    Maybe the allison will prove to end the GM trans reputation but IMO both GM and Chrysler have had too many trans failures. There is no reason an automatic cant hold up to these trucks. The soft as mush shift the engineers shoot for is partly to blame. I worked in GM dealerships from 1978-1995...

    Cam install problem

    Yep,been there on my last BB.Sometimes the block is missmachined and when they install new bearings you cant get the cam in. They can measure and hone the bearing to fit correctly but you have to take it back to the machine shop. My old shop has a selection of cams that he made cutters out of...

    Rear Main Seals ?

    GM service manuals showed how to repack the upper rope with a tool that bolted in place and a punch the same shape as the seal groove. We never used it but I did have success just with a punch packing the upper seal tight and adding material from the old lower seal until it was too full to get...

    Just plain stupid

    I think the stupid thing is prices on shiny rocks. I wouldnt give $100 for any gem. Just plain stupid,so what if its rare,so what if it shines,it aint like you can drive or race it,just look at it. I can think of a lot of pretty things you can look at that are free :roll:
