    Clunking sound when turning right

    Hey guys. Been a while since I've checked in. Great to see a lot of the old guys on here, and plenty of activity. Anyway, here's my issue. When I take a right hand turn or shift lanes with a fair amount of load, I hear a cluncking sound. I don't hear it if the turn is pretty soft, and...

    Fuel injector recommendation?

    I've got a question about my fuel injectors. I'm going with a 347 stroker setup, and I'm wondering whether my current injectors will still cut it. Here's what's changing from the sig below. I blew my stock block, so I am getting a 347 stroker with a custom cam, upgraded springs and track...

    BBK Long tube headers hitting steering shaft

    My BBK long tube headers seem to be dinging up against my steering shaft. It only happens in reverse. Maybe I'm getting contact somewhere else, but I suspect it's the steering shaft. Any suggestions on how to get a little more clearance? Any aftermarket shafts clear it up? I'd rather not...

    Manual tranny question - PLEASE HELP

    OK, I'm having some major work done. Here's the issue I'm looking at right now. The bearing retainer (this part) was bent when i broke my crank. Or maybe it was bent when the shop was removing the motor. Whatever, it was bent. So they ordered a replacement. Problem is, I think they got...

    Will the Holley Systemax intake fit under a stock hood?

    I have a '94 GT convertible, with a strut bar from Maximum Motorsports. The strut bar works around most intakes. But I'm wondering about the hood clearance. Does anyone know whether it will fit?

    Which intake? And related question.

    OK, I killed my block. So I'm rebuilding with a 347 and custom cam from Jay Allen. Otherwise, my mods will essentially be the same as listed in sig. The question is, should I dump the Street Heat intake? My alternates are to go to the Track Heat or Holley Systemax. I've gotten two...

    engine balancing

    Could someone explain the basic benefits of having a machine shop balance an engine? Is there any benefit of having a short block balanced to the clutch and flywheel?

    Thinking about going CHP 347

    I killed my block. Hopefully I can salvage the heads, rest of my top end should be fine (mods in sig). So now I'm looking at rebuilding with a Coast High Performance 347 Street Fighter. Any thoughts? I was making about 285 HP at the rear wheels with my mods. I'd like to not blow past a...

    Engine took a dump - a BIG dump - question

    OK, so I'm running to the store last night. Car's just warming up. So I'm not pushing it hard. Accelerating from the light, and I hear a loud bang from the engine compartment. A good puff of smoke follows, and the car goes absolutely silent. I coast off to the side of the road, bleeding...

    Wood project car

    At first, this looked like a pretty dumb idea. But check out the flicker slideshow. There is some crazy stuff they are doing in this buildup. The wooden wheels are a cool touch. BTW, have you ever seen headers that route the exhaust out the center like that? (side mounted blowers FTW!)...

    Little help please - passenger side accessory bracket

    A couple of weeks ago, my serpentine belt bit it. It came partially off and got quite chewed up. I knew immediately something was wrong because the power steering went out. Well, I thought it was because I was using a belt that was just a bit too short, and the tensioner was past spec (and I...

    Clutch install cost

    I am on borrowed time with my clutch (engages in the last 1/8 or pedal swing). So I probably need to do that this winter. Anyone had a shop do their install lately, and care to share how much it ran you? I do plan on doing it myself, but just curious what a shop might charge. Labor alone...

    Bolt size? Cat back to mid pipe

    Does anyone know the bolt size for the connector between the cat back and the mid pipe? One of mine fell out, and I'd like to run to the parts store and get it.
