    Need Advice On A New Radiator

    My stock radiator is finally done. I have a 180* thermostat and it creeps up to 195 easily and can get up to 210 with heavy traffic / hot day out. I took a look at it and it looks corroded. I have been away from the scene for a long time. Did most of my mods between 99-03 and have not driven...

    I'm working on a friends car. He has unequal headers and he snapped the studs on them that connect to the hpipe while removing his old hpipe. We couldn't get the studs out from underneath the car while the headers were attached, so we decided to pull the headers. Well, the passenger side came...

    torque boxes - reinforcement for LCAs

    A LOT of people say you need torque box reinforcements when you switch to an aftermarket LCA. I bought Maximum Motorsports Adjustable LCAs. I have talked to two different guys at MM and they said with their LCAs you do not need torque box reinforcements as their design wont pull/rip them...

    4cyl to 8cyl - state inspection/insurance

    Lately I have been contemplating on building a side project car using a 4 cyl. I see a lot of them with low miles and good bodies for cheap. Do insurance companies car as long as you tell them? And what about getting an inspection? Obviously when the guy enters a vin it expects a 4cyl...

    danger of slapping an s-trim or equal s/c on?

    My mods are in my sig. Honestly I have been craving more power lately. I know I should probably get a new tranny first, but as mine works fine now it is hard to do so. I've been thinking of getting a supercharger. I would like a 331 aftermarket block with all forged internals at some point...

    Painting 101

    Not sure if this is the best place for this post, the mods can move it if need be. I'm interested in doing my own paintjob eventually. And maybe even side business if I ever get decent at it. I've worked in an auto body shop for a few months, so I know a lot of basic things. I did prep...

    331 S/C vs 347 S/C

    I'm trying to figure out where I'm going with my car. I'm definately thinking of supercharging it and since I figure my stock block won't last too long, I figured I may just get a new shortblock stroked. How much difference in price would a 331 S/C be than a 347 S/C? What about...

    where to get 94/95 mc

    Looking to get a 94/95 MC and possibly vacuum booster. I am wondering does it matter where I get it? Maximum Motorsports has the MC for around $100 i believe. I think I checked autozone and it was a lot cheaper, and if i found one at a junkyard would that be good enough? Just wondering...

    Which MC and which brake lines?

    These are basically the last 2 questions I need answered so I can purchase the remainder of the parts needed for my 5 lug conversion. I read Matt90GT's site (svo73mm.cjb.net) and while it offers a boat load of information, I am still not positive on which MC to go with. I will be upgrading...
