    I think im getting screwed on this service bill

    Alls I got to say is, you people need to invest in good jacks...and some jackstands. Dear god, why put yourself under the tranny when a jack can be there, thus enabling you the ability to MOVE AROUND while wrestling it free.

    BIG Block : Small block

    A big block is just that, bigger, in all regard, larger pistons, block, intake, etc. Basically they allowed more displacement. A general rule of thumb is an engine larger than 400cid is a BB, and smaller is a SB. But that's not really a great guide, since there are SB larger than 400 and BB...

    I think im getting screwed on this service bill

    If they had supplied the transmission, and the first one had been bad, you wouldn't have had to pay for the second one...but since you supplied the trans, the fact it was a faulty trans was your fault, not theirs.

    I think im getting screwed on this service bill

    What's the shops rate/hr on labour? $75/hr? I'm assuming it was about two days work..which would be about right.

    Body panels.

    Well this is what I have to fix... Someone suggested using a front fender (since I can get them from wreckers easily and very cheap) and cutting a patch from it, they seemed to think that the curves would be the same, or close enough. Does anybody have any measurements on this, or...

    Drum Stuck - Is there a drum puller?

    Body panels.

    I'd rather just buy a panel and weld it in...I would think as popular as these cars are, somebody would make and sell them.

    Body panels.

    I just picked up an 88 5.0 cheap (very cheap) anyhow, other than a very rusty rear fender, it's in great shape overall. Normally, I'd go to a wrecker and find a replacement, but as you know, the rear fenders on these cars, along with the roof, are all one piece, so I can't exactly just...

    More Power from the Inline Six

    Ok, my dad has a stock '66 convertible with an inline six, and this car is MINT, but it doesn't turn heads when he takes it to a car show, people want to see v8's. Well, he doesn't want to pull the i6, seeing as how the car is currently original, numbers matching etc. But, I heard that you...
