    Question on Frame Slant under Driver's side Cab

    It was to make space for the catalytic converter. Perfectly normal.

    1980 El Camino

    Well...it only took me 4.5 years to get the floor pan into the car! Still have some finishing up and some brackets to finish welding in, but finally making progress again. Once the floor pan is fully in, the body is coming off the frame, and I'll be blasting the whole thing. Already have some...

    1980 El Camino

    Currently buried in the garage, go figure. Ended up moving on super short notice at the beginning of the year and haven't had time to do anything with it yet. I've been working on getting the new garage cleaned up and organized from the move, so I can get the current engine out of the car, do...

    What causes brake distribution to change when braking in reverse with 4 wheel disc

    Oh, yep, you are correct. I missed the 4 wheel disc part.

    What causes brake distribution to change when braking in reverse with 4 wheel disc

    A lot of brake assemblies are designed to self adjust when applied in reverse. Very common design.

    Dual Tanks Vs Single 40 Gallon Tank For 8.1l Swap

    It is fewer components to go out...however, when that single pump goes out, you are stranded. Dual tank setup will still have another operable tank to get you home.

    What size shielding gas tank to get for welding

    I've gotten along pretty well with an 80cf tank. I don't do a TON of welding, so its worked out well for me. Costs about $35 to refill it down here.

    1980 El Camino

    Picked up the 5.3L and 4L60E (and a slew of goodies to go with it) last night. This thing is CLEAN inside! You could eat off of it.

    Brake Lines Copper or Steel

    I used the Ni-Cop to re-plumb the brakes on a whole car (91' Caprice, for what it's worth). Worked great, and easy to work with.

    1980 El Camino

    Picking up a 70k mile 02' 5.3L/4L60E, LS6 intake, F-body accessory drive, PCM, aftermarket wiring harness, and a Mast Motorsports swap pan for this thing next week. Friend of mine got it in a trade and doesn't need it, so the El Camino will be getting a new heart!

    Let's talk oil

    I snagged one of those. Originally ordered 3 cases of 10W30 VR1 for $36.33, but Amazon sent an email acknowledging the pricing error, but reduced the order to 1 case. Just barely got it today. Ordered it on Jan 24th. Can't complain, even though I only got 1 case. Got six quarts of 10W30 VR1 for...
