    i only run the truck in the spring-fall, not in winter, hasnt had a PCV valve on it since i built it in 2008, never really saw a reason, however after a closer look, looks like my valve cover bolts rattled loose, they were way loose, so i wiped everything down and we will see how it looks in a...

    Ready to build my 383 stroker

    Yes on the roller cam. I would call your perferred company and see what they suggest based on your truck, if you get too crazy, might need a different converter(if applicable ) As for heads, id see what dart has to offer or see who makes summit racings heads, both are pretty decent priced, i...

    SBC intake manifold gasket

    wheel hop solutions few other ???

    caltracs are fairly popular among the duramax trucks from what ive seen, but i think the u bolts have to be the square ones with the plates under the axle. this is what i am thinking though, it should have the flex i need/want and fix the wheel hop

    wheel hop solutions few other ???

    i agree, the end of the bar is the weak point, it just has a threaded end welded to the solid bar, at the time, it was an affordable solution, ish. i made some other traction bars, before i understood how everything flexed and twisted, they didnt work, i have since cut them off and patched...
