    454 peanut head cam change fun.

    Howdy all! After much deliberation, I think I’ve chosen to go with a Howard’s roller cam set for my 85 454. Howard’s recommends some springs so I’ll get those and then get the pushrods that fit. I would like to use factory rockers if possible. Thoughts? One note on summit is that someone...

    Howdy all, 2” lowering coils are going in my c20 suburban in a few days. These ball joints are original. Should I just replace both upper and lower control arms with moog or keep the factory joints? One guy is telling me the old stuff on this truck is better than any new parts but a 39 year...
