    Hello new member from central North Carolina

    Welcome from Central NC. Seems you'll need an aftermarket intake so you can 4bbl that 94 engine. Make sure it has the 168 tooth flexplate as well so it couples to your converter & starter. Keep asking questions and look at the posted forums for help also. HS

    Welcome from the Tarheel State. Is the K20 a 4 speed manual? Low miles & almost 40 years old means it must be in good shape. Share some pics. HS

    @idahovette beat you to it. I should have misspelled AXLE to get @SquareRoot involved too!

    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    You are so right. I just looked at the message and saw the error of my ways. Good catch and call out. I had 40 hours of work this week thus far and between those and the birthdays it must be messing with me... Strugglin'

    Introduction and BBC to SBC???

    Welcome from Central NC. Does your big iron have the radial or axial compressor on it? The radial is the smaller pancake style and axial is the longer and was used on BBC trucks right on through the late eighties on most. HS

    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    The caster can be adjusted as well but it is an extreme pain in the arse! You have the break the wheel end of the axle all the way down to the knuckle and install shims between the spindle and knuckle. I have replaced ball joints on 10 bolts and Dana 44's and have seen some of these shims in...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finally got another opportunity to work on the '87 again. I got more than half the body molding done. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I've had a couple Mustangs too but man are they small. I've got old & fat & don't fit the ponies anymore. I can fit the Galaxie as it has the SOB seat (slide over baby) so the lil wifey can ride on my hip. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Many thanks. Most of my car buddies have really liked it since I got it. A few of them have remarked that I've "switched over" and some asked me if I was alright... I'm a car guy and have many that are very nice and they also happen to be GM. It's not easy finding good Ford stuff (I'll get hate...

    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    The length overall is different as well as the spring perches being below the tubes instead of above. There are no shock saddle/perches on those F body axles either as they go into the U bolt pad. The center section and gears MAY work as long as the spiders are the same spline. I just did...

    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    The center section will work but it is or should be 28 spline where the trucks have 30 spline axle/spider gears. If it is a limited slip then I'd recommend to purchase a new unit and gears and go that direction. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yes sir, that's "Big Girl", the black eye of the plantation! No, it's the only Ford in a yard full of GM vehicles though. It's a 63 1/2 Fastback 500 with a 390. It is my favorite of the Galaxie flavor and I had ties to the car for the past 25 years or so. I had an opportunity and cash to make it...

    80 sq body

    Welcome from NC. I once had an 80 Sierra SB with 8 lug Corps beneath. I wheeled the mess out of it! Mine was a 305/350/NP205 though.

    1985 chevy c30 cab and chassis 4x4 swap

    I like to see what I’m working with before working on it. I’ve messed with enough of this stuff to realize that sometimes leftovers were used regardless of the RPO or SPID. We also have to be reminded that changes may be made after-factory in the 45 years after manufacture. Look closely here and...

    1985 chevy c30 cab and chassis 4x4 swap

    There are many things to consider when doing this swap. The C/K30 frame is different than the K20 and the rear axles are very similar but the spring perches and shock mounts are in different places. You having a C&C means that it PROBABLY has a 14FF rear axle in single or dually form...but could...
