    Mandrel exhaust shop

    I have a universal 3" kit for my Squarebody that is the same one that Max put under his '49. It has plenty of fittings and straight pipes to make what you want, or close to it. His now runs straight out the back under the bumper, mine will exit the rear side poking out similar to what I had on...

    Mandrel exhaust shop

    I ordered a mandrel bent three inch exhaust kit from Eastwood when they were on sale a while back. This may be the easiest way to get what you want. It just takes some time and effort to cut and fit to your specific needs. Then after it has been fitted, you can use band clamps and leave them...

    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    He has been having fun with it. Continually fiddling and tweeking on it. @monsterC10 needs to come in here and post some updates on the things he has done and is doing. Last weekend was C10 day at the local Cars & Coffee, even though it rained we had a good time. Truck gang headed to the show...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I like finding old stuff at the thrift stores around here. Heinz Ketchup phone from the early 80's. Still works as I tested it when we got home... Random Fred Flintstone pin.

    Header Gaskets

    We have the Remflex on our daily Suburban. Even with the front bold broken off of the passenger side exhaust manifold, they perform flawlessly.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Bel Air needed a bath something furious. Our trusty little pressure washer was not playing nice with us. So I sent the boy to Harbor Freight after watching a bunch of reviews on YouTube to pick up a new unit. I am happy to report that it works very well and is fairly quiet for a pressure...

    Very nice indeed!

    1970 & 1971 Kawasaki 100cc G4TR's

    Here is the cold start video of when we first brought it home and put some fuel into it to see if it would come to life or not. It took just a couple of kicks to get it to light off...

    1970 & 1971 Kawasaki 100cc G4TR's

    I fully plan on tearing it apart to clean and fix all the little issues.

    1970 & 1971 Kawasaki 100cc G4TR's

    That is cool that you used to race an IT back when they were new. This one most definitely started life as a 125. My bike has the crossover exhaust like this one shown below. Exhaust pipe exits on the left side of the bike and has the white fenders. On the 175 from 1981, the exhaust came out...

    1970 & 1971 Kawasaki 100cc G4TR's

    I am a moron. I know better than to peruse Marketplace. Anyway, I saw this ad for an old dirt bike that needs some attention, but ran last year. His price was $350 or trade for SBC parts... We went back and forth some and he wanted a full set of 1.6 rockers and the best I had was a mixed set...

    Best Flowmaster

    We have a Flowmaster Y pipe and cat on our 1995 Sub now and it works like a champ. Couldn't pass before and then after it passed with flying colors.

    Best Flowmaster

    I like the 40 series with an H pipe. Had this on my '72 Nova and it sounded great on a simple mild small block. Current set up on my truck with its no compression 454 is a set of Jones Flowpack single chamber mufflers in a 2-1/2 inch exhaust that stops just before the axle. This truck has...

    Soon to be new member…

    Sweet truck for sure. I had a '79 Big 10 in that color pattern for a while.

    Standard internet protocol states: 1. Newbies must provide photographic evidence of project B. If no photos are provided, we will not be very useful. 4. Welcome from Oregon.

    Time to put a sound system in the hotrod, wanna bounce some ideas

    Currently I just have a set of Kicker 6-3/4" separates in the doors of the truck. They are simply hooked to an amp under the seat that has a RCA to 3.5mm cord that controls the music from a phone. With the tweeter up higher in the door panel, it really works well. My previous truck just had the...

    In your opinion?

    Clean it out and give it some fresh gaskets. Should be good to go!

    lowered c30 454 what headers to use

    I currently only have the one 2wd square body with the 454 in it. I *think* the small block headers work as well, but I cannot verify it at this time. I have small blocks. I have small block headers. But not in the correct configuration. 4wd's I have no clue about if the car stuff crosses over.

    8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS

    I would go L-29 454 Gen 6 big block. All the after market you could want. Power on tap for any level of want you could have. Easy to find parts everywhere. Can be plucked out of 1996 to 00 suburbans and trucks for not much if you keep your eyes peeled. My kid and his buddies were at the Pick N...

    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    The little nerd also has all of these lurking in the back yard. The green and silver Montgomery Ward is the best looking out of the pack for sure. This is the first one that I said he could bring home. It currently needs a new steering setup in it as the original one is stripped out. But...

    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    Jeebus. These are all Max's junkers. He went hogwild on finding them a few years ago. This is his latest and most expensive one, a Craftsman with blade and wheel weights on it. Runs like a champ. He also found this other Craftsman for free. It has a better looking hood on it, so he swapped...

    Ford infotainment into 79 c10

    Well get after it and tell us all how you do it on this thread. I wanna see how it works now that I have invested 4.39 minutes into reading this thread. We like lots of photos... :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    NOT SELLING THE CANOPY. You are correct in thinking that I want it off so that I can haul our treasures home from two days at the swap meet. Canopy will just go back into storage in the backyard for now. For as expensive as they seem to be now, I will not let go of this one as I am to frugal to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I haven't done a thing to it in a few months. It has just sat there being patient. Max had to move it the other day and pumped the gas once to set the choke and it fired right up like it ran the day before. Love these things. The canopy is going to come off this weekend and we will take it to...

    95 Chevy water in passenger floor board

    We have the same thing on our 1995 Sub. My son said he found on a forum where some said it was coming from the cowl area. I am not entirely sure where, but rain water leaks in...
