    Actually no but that's a good guess. I'm thinking section the running boards as in make the rise in the running board thinner. maybe only a couple inches tall like a rocker panel to make the body look less tall without loosing a nice flat floor or loosing headroom. but yeah then raise the...

    Comfortable seat?

    The factory buckets in my 2000 f150 are too stiff and feel like yer sitting on a beach ball. I'm replacing them with some grey leather heated power landcruiser seats. They have a very nice shape to them complimentary to a large framed man

    I've never done this but i would leave the floor as is and section the sideboards to flush with the bottom of the frame and maybe section the rear fenderwells up the body a little but only if necessary.

    Gassers?

    It's easier to cell what I'm building a gasser but I'm not going to have the car raked backwards. I suppose what you would think if I said 1960's superstock dodge but it's a 63 skylark. I got as far as getting a 9" mounted in the rear on nova leafs and had to turn to another more pressing...

    Trying to ID my Camaro subframe.

    My buddy is running a manual "4 bolt cover" box from an s-10 in his 82 malibu pro street it has the large spline on the arm And he tells me it is easy to steer and feels very good It was a direct bolt in You can find those 12" rotor spindles around used online for about $100 per side. A big...

    Trying to ID my Camaro subframe.

    there is are also wheel stop adjustments you can make in the box. one is at the upper end and is a literal adjustment... the other end is accomplished by changing or modifying the aluminum plug in the end of the power box

    Trying to ID my Camaro subframe.

    if you want slower steering just buy a reman stock box. you can also mix and match the little torsion bars in the input shaft to customize how firm you want the steering to feel. the mid 70's and older cars had a small torsion bar and mushy feel. the newer cars use a larger stiffer torsion shaft...

    Trying to ID my Camaro subframe.

    An 86-ish Buick grand national fast ratio box should bolt right in too The Jeep Cherokee fast ratio box is the same but has a tighter turn radius You want to look at the input shaft for any box you might change to as there were 3 differences in size and spline count. each one has it's own rag...

    Trying to ID my Camaro subframe.

    if i remember right i THINK you can swap the spindles and 12" rotors from the late 70's b body GM's right in whereas you would need custom upper a arms to swap them into a nova or a G body B body spindles and 12" 3rd gen F body rotors for the 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern as those B bodies had 5 on 5

    Trying to ID my Camaro subframe.

    early 70's used a smaller outer wheel bearing and the tie rod lengths are different. you can use the newer tie rods wih the newer center link. They made the outer spindle larger on the later years. looks like a g body steering box. it should have have the large splined pitman arm 1-1/8? where...

    changing from 3.00 gear to 3.55 or?

    3.00 divided by 3.55 is 0.845070423 (I like to divide the small number by the big number when figuring percentage) 1 - 0.845070423 = 0.154929577 or 15% which means going from one to another is a 15% change in EVERYTHING related... tire size, gearing, speedometer, tire circumference, tire height...

    what if you just built a tin shroud like a heat stove to allow the heat from the pipes to radiate upwards to the intake? would warm up faster than water cooled and you could install a flapper valve and run it off vaccum and a temp controlled vac switch You could also mount your intake closer to...

    My frame

    My floor isn't too level My plans are to build a stable hinge post near the back wall for a rear frame where a tilt deck drops to the floor so you can winch a car up the table.... then I can lift the front (garage door end) with the forklift and place heavy stands under it. I'll probably use...
