    Removing the engine

    I am removing my 289 prior to sending it (the rest of the car) to paint. Where is the best place to attach the engine leveler? Do I back out intake bolts? If so, do I need to remove and reinstall afterward with new gaskets? I have seen a lifting plate that bolts to the carb studs, but...

    Disk brake kits

    I am looking to do a disk brake conversion on the front of my '66 coupe. I don't have a lot of money to spend so I would like to avoid having to get larger wheels at this time. It is going to be a nice daily driver with a little pep, but no real racing. Is the SSBC kit a good way to go...

    Balancer shifted. now what?

    Pulled the #1 Spark plug and found TDC, marked it and set my timing. All is well. The outer ring of the balancer had shifted 20 deg or so. Other than the PIA of timing the engine is there any harm done? Is it likely to fail completely and come off? I am sure I will replace it eventually...
