    Engine What's This Setup Worth And How Would You Finish It Off?

    Has anyone had any experience with the on3 turbo kit paired with a set of GT40P heads? Would the turbo be a waste? Better off just buying some aluminum heads?

    Engine What's This Setup Worth And How Would You Finish It Off?

    The back story is a bit sketchy. This block was traded for by a local shop, then sold to the guy trying to sell it now. I'm hoping to speak with the shop this afternoon. They owner said he needs $1800 for it. Seems high to me considering the back story and lack of a detailed build sheet...

    93 Octane Leading To Rough Idle And Near Stalling?

    I recently filled up my car with 93 octane gas to see how it would run. Previously I had ran it on 87. Now when I start the car it has a very rough idle and nearly stalls out. It does this for about 10 minutes untill the engine gets warm, then it idles fine. Should I be concerned? Is there an...

    Help With Removing Rear Spring Spacers

    Got them out. It was VERY simple. Put a 1/2" extension on a ratchet and into the spacer, turned it counter clockwise and they turned right out. Much better now! Thanks.

    Help With Removing Rear Spring Spacers

How would you go about spending the 10k? The car will be a weekend cruiser and be used 90% of the time on the street. Notch and...
