Well, I bought a 57 belair 4 dr and wanted this one to be a pretty fast street and strip car so I got to figuring up a BBC and a SBC and it scared me, don't get me wrong, I've drag raced, built street cars and knew stuff ain't cheap but the way crap has gone up in the last couple yrs is crazy...

I got my system done but would like some info. My plymouth has the Speedway front GM rotors and the calipers are like the 76 malibu takes. The rear is an explorer with the factory disc brakes on it. What would you all think is the ideal MC to use on it? Now I have a dual reservior GM with the...

Hey guys, anyone ever use the repro Cad bat wing breathers? They are all over Ebay. Also, what size element do they have in them? Engine will have 625 HP or so, just wondering how they would work, I have a shiney chrome open one with a 4 in filter but it looks out of place on a old car with no hood.

Found it on U Tube, this guy has more parts and old cars than anyone I ever seen. He's 40 and into 60's builds and does some really nice work. Wish I had half his stuff and he had more, I'd settle for his 33 ford.

I'm not good at keeping up with build threads but I'd like to post some pics of my project, comment or if you see something really screwed up tell me about that too. Had to pull the 427 BBC out for some work and I have to fab all the door glass channels and get glass cut plus some small stuff. I...

Anyone ever drag raced a car with rear air bags? Just wondered how good they would work, thinking about a heavy duty triangulated 4 link, 3/4 heim joints, CM. Where can you buy a good set of bags and do you plumb the bags separately? I would think you would. Never done air bags so any help...

You can look at my build thread, 1928 Sedan, would sell it rolling for $12,000 OBO, 9 inch, all new axles, bearings, posi with 3.25 gears, triangulated 4 link, new coil overs, disc all around, pretty much everything on this is new, 6 inch dropped axle, I have a new vinyl top kit that goes with...

Got a line on a 33 or 34 plymouth 2 door sedan. It has no fenders or grille with it. With the way the rear of the car is made I wonder if you could build it fenderless? Any body built one of these?

Put a set of Speedway's low back seats in my 28 sedan and even with the drivers seat flat on the floor they still set to high, plus I lost some leg room. I think I'm going to build some bomber seats and install some snap in cushions or something for comfort. Anybody built their own or got any...

I have a matching pair of 1850's, professionally gone through and set up for a 2x4 intake. Vacuum secondarys eliminated, throttle shafts and everything was done. I can send a video of them running on my car. $400 plus shipping, Mike, 606 217 3149

Anyone have a top door plate for a model A, the one you take off to remove the door glass? I thought I had 2 but only have 1. Mine is a 28 sedan but I think most of them are the same. Shoot me a PM if you do.

I ended up with an old sbc engine, it turns out to have a 69 307 short block, bored .125 to make it a 327, heads are double hump 300's, April 15, 1966 along with the intake, cast iron, and 4 bbl Carter carb. I was wondering if the heads are worth anything anymore? Engine ran good before it was...

Has anyone used the flexible type dip stick in an automatic trans? This is the only thing I have room for in my 28 A. I had a china version, it went in good, dip stick was hard to get in and out, nothing but a really stiff wire. Went to adding fluid, that sucks with that adapter, and it leaked...

Anyone use one of the mini denso alt? I see them for $120 for a 90 amp. I'm getting ready to install an alt on my 28 and smaller would be better. A friend of mine has an alt shop and he said all you can get out of one of those is 55 amps.

I had a friend that had an old sbc engine in his barn that belonged to his Dad. His Dad told him it was a 300 HP 327. He brought it to me since he had no use for it, I put it on a stand and didn't get to much time to check it out but I did get the numbers off the heads and block. It had a spin...

Anyone have experience with the Speedway or Ron Pope reversed corvair box? I put one on my 28, brand new from Ron Pope and it had considerable play in it. In fact it was about as much as the wore out original I pulled off. The adjustment screw sticks out a mile on these so I started screwing it...

On my model A I've got a round tube 6 in dropped axle, it has chevy spindles with speedways flat steering arms, steering rod in the front, spring behind axle. When I hear people talk about ackerman, and looking at this set up there is no way that you can get it correct. I have traditional...

I'm getting a 60's 327 from a friend so naturally I started thinking about my next build, even though I ain't got the first one done. I want an older coupe and I want 3 pedals in this one. The Muncies have went crazy on prices so I was thinking about a T5 and 3.73 gears. I was doing some...

I've scored a 60's 327, haven't got it yet a friend is bringing it to me. Belonged to his Dad and has been stored in a barn. He doesn't know what year it is, guess I'll find out. It has the double hump heads. Anyway I got to thinking about it'd make a good motor for the next project. I'd like to...

On my 28 sedan I'm using 9 inch front rotors with metric calipers and on the rear a set of 11 3/4 rotors and GM calipers like they put on the 76 chevelle. I am going to use a corvette style MC, I have a alum one, brand new with a 1 inch bore and 1 barely used with a 1 1/8 bore. I'm putting a...
