    Best looking 1 piece headlights?

    i like the smooth look of the one pieces. but are they adjustable? do they mount on a headlight adjusting bracket or do they just bolt in on the four corners like the turn signal/marker lights mount?

    runs in the paint

    +elentybillion. shave the run down as smooth as you can get it. it requires a lot less blending and obviously a lot less sanding. i actually learned this trick about 4 years ago watching a show on horse power tv.. might have been trucks! or something.

    got a new car! check it out!

    #1 polished tread plate = $.89 per square inch chainlink steering wheel = +/- $100 painted hoses, and EVERYTHING else = $20 price for having a horribly gaudy and unnecessary car = priceless... or 8500 if youre stupid enough to buy it for that.. :rlaugh:

    Graduation money..

    college college college.. with that said. dont touch a high volume oil pump unless you have an 8 quart oil pan. it sucks it dry and actually starves the motor of oil.. there is no need for a high volume oil pump on a stock block with no work done to the oil veins.

    302 efi convert to carb

    the 351w lower intake is wider than a 302. however, the upper manifolds are interchangable. you can make a 302 carburated without doing anything to the block. just bolt a 4 barrel intake and carb on it; again, the lowers are different size so make sure you get one for a 302.

    polishing scratched power pipe?

    sand the scratches down. then use mothers billet polish. i do a lot of aluminum polishing. start with a 400 grit, then gradually move to finer grits, finish with a 2000 grit and polish with mothers billet polish. it will be a mirror when you are done

    Flaming river rack help

    the manual steering rack's input shaft is a larger diameter than the power steering one. im not sure if an older fox body steering shaft with factory manual steering would work (i.e. 82 or older). there is an adaptor piece that you can buy that bolts up to the rack end of the stock steering...

    deal or no deal??????

    x2 hold on to your money and do some lookin around for gt-40's. even e7's ported professionally flow less or as much as untouched gt-40's and they still have room to grow! close the lid on the box and walk away from the big red button. no deal!
