    Small Block Lifter Premature Wear

    Agreed. Have heard the same from a few different credible engine builders recently. Parts industry as a whole sucks anymore rolling the dice on everything these days. Sign of the times.

    What are some options for mud flaps?

    Bumper mounted flaps with nothing immediately behind the tires always makes me cringe. Bye bye lower body paint. Might be ok in a state where the “back roads” are paved, but out here in the real world thats not going to work lol

    Frame rot

    As a disclaimer and due to the abundance of rust free frames id have to agree with the majority and say junk it but ive cleaned up rust jacking similar to that on semi frames that gross 100k without issue. Would definitely have to clean it up to see whats actually going to be left before forming...

    Anybody know how to clean this?

    Hot water pressure washer is the only way to go. Degreaser is a joke

    Seat Hump Patch Panel?

    Id call them “cabs”. Rust is sneaky. But of course where im from alot of square bodies ended their first life bombing through wheat fields with a crop sprayer in the bed. Wont be long and were going to be like the charger guys saving roll over rust buckets.

    Seat Hump Patch Panel?

    Cab swap is the easiest solution but dont be scared to fix what you have. Keep in mind if you dont find a super clean cab your going to end up doing most of that same work anyway. When i started this one it looked pretty clean but after cutting away all the junk i ended up with something...

    Rescued another one!

    Ten four on that one. Small blocks are like gold around here. Safe to say theres still a bunch of good old boys that haven't bought into the LS craze. Better off to build what you got. Its fun and youll at least know what have. Top lines the best they always find time to bs with a guy. I think...

    Hypothetical SBC question

    Not to mention when we first picked it up the oil pan had a massive hole in it so who knows what sort of abuse it suffered even before the demo derby.

    Hypothetical SBC question

    I mean we pulled a small block out of a demolition derby car that had ben revved to the moon and overheated than dropped it in a vehicle that you proceeded to daily with only gaskets and a timing chain and never thought anything of it.

    Do I need a block heater?

    I drove a worn out farm find 77 k10 with a tired 400 during the winter of 2017. I believe the average jan temp for sw ND was 11f with lows of -35f. Never plugged it in, Never once failed to start but She had to idle 15 minutes before it was able to drive without sputtering under acceleration...

    Stick,Mig, Carbon Arc, Gas, and now Tig. Let's talk.

    Aesthetics vs time. No one wants to show off a set of headers or charge pipes that look like they were welded by Ray Charles and thats fine when you have 100s of hours to pour into a project. Tig looks really nice but takes forever. In reality when time is money 9 times out of ten mig with a...

    Trans Tunnel Question

    The high hump tunnels can be removed and installed into low hump cabs fairly easily. Here are some photos of when i put a 77 k10 high hump into a 78 c10 low hump cab. Not sure if the 80s were the same. The image of the red tunnel in the cab was when i was mocking it up for the cut. The rear...

    Cutting down valve guides & reusing head bolts??

    I rebuilt a 429 ford with used head bolts than proceeded to drive it like a high school kid for 3 years and never had a problem. Sold it to a neighbor who still drives it. Food for thought

    What is everyone's go to for converting rusty frames nice looking frames

    Word of caution with POR15. I sandblasted my entire frame before brushing on POR15 After about a month of sitting out in the sun the whole frame was faded and chalky. The next one i do will be coated with urethane paint. Honestly even if i didnt have access to an air compressor or spray gun i...
