    COOLANT ALL OVER THE PLACE

    Im pretty sure that it needs headgaskets but I was hoping that it could also be the intake gasket. I took the car out for a test drive after putting the whole topend on it and as soon as I went to punch the gas coolant shot out of the overflow all over the motor and then overheated. I started it...

    New Motor bearing?

    Well I looked again at the block and it has been notched. I know you cant trust everyone but I have a feeling from talking with the guy that he wasnt trying to get over on me and sell me junk. How would I go about putting oil on the caps? Is there a special order I need to take them off? Also do...

    New Motor bearing?

    Im posting this for a buddy of mine. He bought a new shortblock off of craigslist, it has never been run since it was rebuilt and is clean and spotless no rust or anything. The only thing is there wasnt any oil in the pan when we took it off. His question is should he take off the caps to the...

    GUARANTEED 10 SECOND CAPABLE MOTOR OPTION

    Right now My rear has 4.30 on it with the blower and it actually seems to run really good like that. I have an 8.8 with strange axles and a full spool. I didnt think you could really go to 10-1 comp with boosted cars.

    347 stroker PISTON SWAP

    yea for right now im using good old e7s. They are really ported out though. They are also decked to 61cc which is the same as the trick flows I will eventually be able to afford. I am going to be boosting this combo so it should help a little with the lack of head for now.

    347 stroker PISTON SWAP

    I have a 347 shortblock sitting in my garage that I want to use with my blower setup. The problem is its setup for high compression. My question is can I use any type of piston or do they have special pistons for 347 kits? I know I will have to buy lower compression pistons but im just not sure...

    Procharger pulley question

    Hey I know it doesnt have to do with your question but have you ever taken your car down the track with the 4.10? I have 4.30 and a s/c and I dont think I have enough gear anymore to last the full 1/4.

    REBUILD TIME vortech s trim

    I recently installed an s trim and now think I may need a rebuild on the bottom end. Its a stock bottomend with thumper e7s and tmoss stock upper. I did away with the pcv system since it kept popping out and for now just have the nipple on the oil fill neck open to vent. At idle it looks like...

    TWEECER VS. FMU??

    hahah thats exactly what I was told. He said to keep the two and he has customers with 4-500 hp. That was from more than one reputable shop that I had called also. Oh well. I guess I can keep messing with the tweecer until I figure out what the best way is.

    TWEECER VS. FMU??

    I have been having so much trouble figuring out how to use the tweecer properly so I have been calling shops to see if they would do it and they all say to get rid of the tweecer and use a 4:1 fmu and msd btm. I have these parts so its not a problem but was wondering what everyone else thinks. I...
