    What would be a fair price?

    I am thinking of putting a '47 Chevy truck together for an older couple in my shop. I would be changing it to a V8 and rewiring at the least. I know how to do the work but do not know a fair price to charge. I am thinking $30 an hour plus materials, does that sound fair? I would be using my...

    Reminder to check throttle linkage

    I have been slowly completing the swap of the Olds 455 into my '42 Chevy and took it out a couple weekends ago for the shakedown run. It was OK but not as fast as I hoped it would be. I went over why it was not more powerful and when I checked my throttle I found the cable was only opening the...

    Puma air compressor

    I bought a Puma oil compressor because my Coleman oil-less was almost useless. It is amazing for my air tools, it keeps up real well. I really love it and $400 is a decent price. It is even quieter than my smaller one and it builds enough pressure so quick I am amazed by it. I am painting my...

    Question about Chevy 292

    My cousin has an '82 Chevy truck with a 292. He has been having rough running issues. I have been helping and here is what I found. The distributor (an HEI) mechanical advance was rusted open and the springs were stretched out. We replaced the whole distributor to fix that. I noticed the...

    Got my Olds 455 out and ready to swap

    I got my 455 out of the car and am getting ready to clean it up to swap it into my '42 Chevy, replacing the perfectly good Olds 350in there now. I will do a threadwhen I clean up the engine and bay later this winter. I can't wait for the extra torque this thing is going to put it out. It is a...

    Question about Olds 455

    I am planning on picking up a 1976 Olds 455 with an Edelbrock Performer intake and a Q-jet. I will hear it run before I pull it. It is totally complete for $600 and they will pull it. I currently have a 1974 Olds 350 with a Performer intake and Edelbrock 750 carb and dual exhaust. My question is...

    I got a free engine!

    I have a friend who knew I have an Olds 350 in my '42 Chevy and would like to have a big block Olds. He called me Monday night and said he knew of one for the hauling. I went and got it last night about a 75 mile round trip. I have mostly decoded it and am very excited. It is a 1967 425 from an...
