    What have you done to your square lately??

    Patched a leaky fuel hose, finally heard it run for the first time. As did the neighbors ( what's a muffler?)

    Mechanical clutch not engaging

    Also I should add that the pedal does not seem to have any free play whatsoever, hopefully I can manage to adjust it, a new clutch would be a real pain given it's current location.

    Mechanical clutch not engaging

    From what I see it's neither hydro or cable... It's more of a set of levers from what I can tell... I wish it was hydro, then I could bleed the sucker and be done with it.

    Mechanical clutch not engaging

    Hi all, finally got back from deployment.. Spent the last dew days troubleshooting a fuel issue and now finally have the truck running. PO parked the truck at my house on a very slight incline, so I wanted to put it on level ground to change fluids. I fire her up, put it in first... Go figure...

    turbocharging questions

    like I stated earlier, I'm just spitballing and looking to the distant future at options. I have plenty of rust removal/ restoration stuff to do before the project ever gets anything too performance-oriented. If I were to boost it, I'd like to fab up and piece together the whole thing by...

    turbocharging questions

    honestly we're talking about a sbc 350...if it suck-starts turbo innards and completely grenades, a replacement engine from craigslist or a junkyard can be had for under 400 bucks... If I was running a BBC with some high-dollar internals, i'd probably be more concerned.

    turbocharging questions

    hmm...that's actually quite affordable. I doubt those turbos are of any kind of quality...I like the idea! thanks IMAN. I think I want to try to fab a setup...mostly becausei'm a cheapass.

    turbocharging questions

    oh if I do make it to the point of boosting it, it will be getting a set of headstuds and probably a rebuild to handle the power...I was just more wondering about how people were routing the piping and such and any other tips.

    turbocharging questions

    So over the past few days I've been kicking the idea around of setting up my sbc to run a blow-through carb and installing a small turbo (most likely a holset from a Cummins as a single or very small twin set up one per bank) on it. Mostly as a project just to see if I can do it as this is not...

    What do ya'll suppose my Nova is worth?

    it's worthless, just give it to me...seriously though, you should pull the drivetrain, sell it or use it on a different project. Then drop an old worn out wee 'o five and a th350 in it and i'm sure some high school kid will pay ya 1500 bucks for the thing with a coat of primer on it..

    How about them Scotsdales now?

    it's gonna need either serious repair or a whole new bed before I start worrying about aesthetics. The whole bed floor is gone..I am thinking about just making a floor for it out of diamond plate though.

    5.9l Cummins swap into a lucky Square Body

    as long as the VP has fuel pressure, it will hold up for quite some time. Let the lift pump go bad and the fuel diaphragm inside the VP is toast. Not bad engines though really as long as you know what you're doing. A common-rail swap would be cool too, just very labor intensive to get the...

    Murdered out? Too common now?

    I dig the all-black look, and have never liked chrome on anything I've owned. That being said the details are what really sets it apart from the cheap-o spray bomb look. A little bit of red accent in the grill, on the emblems, some old-school pinstripes really set the look off.
