thanx guys, i did some research, i think they are the crappiest heads ever made by chevy, the 185s. ive been thinking about using like 416s?? i was told that the 80s 305 HO heads would bring the compression to around 10:1 and with a mild cam i could get about 300 hp out of the 307. i did want to...

well i was just confused as to why the heads have the different bumps from one another, almost like they are 2 different heads. but they look the same. i had a set of 462 fuelies that i sold a few months back and i regret that. now curious, if i have the heads decked, does this lessen the...

ive got a 69 307. i just pulled the heads off, and noticed that the "bumps" like what identify the type of head is different on one then the other. im confused at this. one says in the middle GM 54 and the other GM 59. here is a pic ill attach. whats this mean?

cool. good to know. what are some easy ways to pull power? i know heads, aluminum intake( i have a cast #458520 aluminum vette spreadbore that im gonna have ported to match the head work and put an adapter to use a squarebore carb) cam. id like to get alil over 300hp. maybe like 325-350. what...

so how about a '69 307? thats what im using as a powerplant, i bought it from a friend for $50 back when i had my 71 elcamino. i wasnt sure if it was an original 307 or 350 car so i bought it, he threw in a set of double humps. when i sold the elcamino i was just gonna get rid of everything sold...

never thought about it that way. makes complete sense. whats it cost to have a top chopped, say 4 inches?

What are the pros and cons of using a lightweight flywheel? im building a ratrod, and im wanting something quick revving and snappy. but what are the pros and cons of having a lightweight flywheel? i have found some billet steel flywheels that were 10 and 12 lbs. i want something that revs...

i was curious as to what can be done for an appraisal for ratrods. im in the beginning stages of building one, but i was thinking about what happens if someone like for instance t-bones me and its completely their fault. now a ratrod will only have liability. so what can i do? because their...

welcome bro. i just joined the site like a week ago. im starting a ratrod. your car looks more like a gasser type. looks good though.just got the frame last night. going to go get the cab in the next week or so. im getting a 40's chevy truck cab. and im using an 86 s10 frame for the disk brake...

just wanted to share the pics of my car. i sold it not to long ago, but if i get the money together, i want to buy it back. with going to school at the time, and not having the knowledge to fix the rust, i sold it to get something else. so now im gonna build a ratrod. i was gonna fix it up, but...

awesome thanks. well i havent gotten the time but within in the next few days i should go and pick up the s10 chassis and the truck cab from up in nothern arkansas. ill post some pics when i get everything home. and do you know what it costs to have someone port and polish a set of heads and intake?

hey got a question for you guys. if you look on that 5th pic i put up on the original post, how much do you guys think the top has been chopped on it? i want to chop the top on the cab of the truck im getting. im not sure what all is involved, but i like the look.

i read the post on the guy who created the first truck, its a fiero front end, and the second one is an s10. and why can i not chop the frame horns off on an s10 frame? i figured they are useless. i thought it was a really creative idea especially with that grille. im looking for a grille right...
