    TH400 gurus, direction needed.

    OK, so back story as I have never been inside of this th400 in my truck, but I do know it was rebuilt probably less than 5,000 miles before I bought the truck. It has always been a very solid unit and not something I felt I had to mess with as it was supposedly built for pulling. when I had the...

    Leaf Spring hangers- Where to buy?

    So I was doing some looking around under the truck because I had bought new bushings for the leaf spring shackles and eyelets and was eyeing up the disassembly.. Needless to say, after much closer inspection I figured out why the rear axle sits a little crooked under the truck because what I...

    Performance Torque Converters, opinions and experiences?

    So in rebuilding the engine in my truck and adding some power to it, the new cam calls for a 2,400 rpm stall converter. No biggie right? except torque converters are somewhat voodoo to a lot of us, because they don't always do exactly what the manufacturer says. In talking with a couple of...

    BIg Block Chevy head work, just in case anyone was wondering..

    So there was some debate at the machine shop about putting in larger over sized hardened valve seats on my 049 Big Oval Big Block Chevy heads. One guy says you're likely to hit water if you do it, so to be safe and use a thinner seat and don't cut the pocket so deep, another shop says he does it...

    converting from column to B&M floor shifter

    Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I'm getting ready to remove the column shift hardware and install a new B&M truck mega shifter down on the floor. And the last time I did one of these was literally 18 years ago probably. But something is telling me that I need to somehow lock out the column...

    well shoot..

    was in the process of performing a cam swap on the ol' 454 and got the balancer and timing cover off last night, went to work pulling the rockers, push rods, lifters and cam. Everything went fairly smooth, but I had long suspected an issue of some kind with the gear drive (just didn't sound...

    Fuel level sender, correct ohms.

    looking through the gauge selection on Summit, going to order some new gauges for the truck, am leaning very hard towards building my own dash. Looking at fuel level gauges and there are a couple different options for them due to resistances on the sender. So what is the ohms/resistance of the...

    BBC cylinder head opinions..

    Well, on an unrelated matter, had to pull a valve cover to do some checking. As the story goes when I bought the truck I didn't know exactly all what had been done internally on the engine other than "it was worked over" It allegedly had roller tip rocker arms, springs, valves and some other...

    Rear Bumper Question?

    Alright, through the internet and pictures and looking around I've got myself thoroughly cornfussed on rear bumpers. I'm debating, because I want to replace the rear bumper on my K30 and go back to a stock type bumper, with a reese style hitch to get the bumper where it belongs, put a hitch on...

    350 sbc thermostat question/debate..

    not technically squarebody related as the engine is in my buddies rat rod, however, it is originally a 350 sbc so... Question is, guy he bought the car from pulled the guts out of the thermostat since "you don't need heat in a rat rod that's only driven in the summer." But my concern is, the...

    bent 14bff axle tube... repair?

    So, be-bopping around the garage fulfilling my honey-do list I glance out to admire my ol' Square sitting proud in the driveway like I have numerous times before.. Only this time, something catches my eye, you know that moment when something just seems "off"..? So I'm pretty sure my driver rear...

    starting troubles..

    OK guys, so my '82 K30 is having electrical gremlins.. I know that the wiring on it is a 35 year old rats nest of bad decisions at this point and I plan on rewiring the whole truck this winter, but the problem I have now is it acts like it doesn't have enough voltage to crank over all the time...
