I built mine with an ATSG 350 book, and a HP books Rebuilding your Turbo-Hydro 350, Wished I had had Nick back then.
Listen to the shift, blew the right side rear tire chunk. Modified 454.
I have vacuum on the 73, never was that great, Going to hydraboost, as Aurora Girl said, good for big cammed engines with low vacuum, like my engine. My 86 is hydraboost and I like it alot, will put the exact unit in my 73.
I know Perry!!!
Anyway I did some calculations and with 4:56's 28" tire, in fifth, (.74) at 135 MPH, RPM are a lazy 5467, and the .05 6th is barely turning over at 3694, so she's gonna be a cruiser.
Rob, I have one in a truck I bought for the body, and the big rear brakes. I plan in taking the brake stiff, but have new stuff on the old reared. LMK, if interested, and I will check it out. It was a camper special, had the heavy springs, and most likely 4:10, it is a ff. Do not have the...
Stock heads, 243’s, have not gotten a cam…..yet. I had a 1998 Z28 with a LS1 small cam, and it would get you in trouble fast. It had a 4l60e pos that blew up twice. This is a jump in and go anywhere car, so reliability and easy service are important. 4:11 gears will still let me cruse, run at...
Called Church Brothers Racing, I like there rear tir 4 link, The pic shows a Ford 9", and I have two, and will narrow them in house. According to them, the rearend is narrowed about 2" a side, from stock.
called Clay Mullis @ Full Tilt street rods, here is the kit:
This will have GM 11" Metric brakes, Viking double adj coil overs, power rack and pinion. This will be fast and easy to install, and comes with LS motor mounts, and a universal trans mount for the T56.
So as I get closer to working on the nova, I wanted feedback from any of you nova guys. I have scrounged two mustang ford 9" rears, though I know they will have to be shortened. Plan on using Church Boys tri bar four length. I also can get an 8.8 Explorder rearend, they are great, easy to...
Dang it Paul....I was just thinking I needed to get a opener for the shop door, it is heavy. I know that you can adjust the springs, and in the past I have, but it was a little scary. No way I am doing that now. Dang, gotta get one..
To perform a voltage drop test on the battery cable, you should connect one of the voltmeter’s leads to the starter motor battery terminal, while the other end is connected to the positive battery terminal. The engine, battery, cables, and connections must be in good working order for an...
I don't really like them, but as a former engine builder, go with the 400. It would be much better to take to a machine shop.....just saying. Yes it will cost more. I do have one in my tool box though, never used.
In theory, (I love to live there,) you need 10 lbs pressure for each 1000 rpm. My Moroso pump comes with three springs, I have the 70 psi spring as I plan on wickin up the 489 hopefully to 7000 rpm, but it might only make it 6500, as the AFR heads are the 265's, but now fully ported. I'de be...
There was a little pub up the hill, so I asked a number of folks where to get a good traditional lobster, that place was the consensus. Been riding three weeks by then, and was a little lean and unkept, but the swank dressers were really nice, it was just the coolest.
