    Lawyers in here!

    First off, who cares. I don't mean that in a rude way, but the three points you're about to get are going to be erased off your record in 2 or 3 years. Just keep your nose clean and you don't have to worry about it. Secondly, you're going to get the three points even in you plead guilty for...

    how much to install intake manifold

    It's probably 3, maybe 4 hours of labor. Valve cover gaskets can be re-used depending on whether they are the stockers or cork gaskets. Either way, even using stock gaskets, they are less than 20 bucks for the set. And, you could not swap an entire intake manifold setup in an hour. I've...

    GT40 P's

    I'm not so sure the stock headers will bolt up. When I got my car it already came with GT40P heads and the stock headers. The one side fit with no problems. The other header was beat to **** with a hammer to get it to clear the plugs. Something tells me that it didn't "really" fit the...

    What would you do with this 351 shortblock I have? DISCUSS!

    First of all, and most importantly, a D8 block WILL NOT stand up to 700 horsepower....not even at the flywheel. From what I understand, they really aren't too much better than our HO blocks - they can only take about 550-600 at the flywheel. Secondly, a sleeved block scares me. The question...

    Cylinder head and machine shop question

    Ed has springs that will match the camshaft he gives you. He has springs for specific heads that will give you the seat pressures you need along with the correct installed heights. There really is no need for a machine shop to do the work because Ed pretty much has your ass covered... Joe

    Need manifold advice

    Is the car a street car? I'm assuming so with such a mild camshaft. With that cam, the car is running out of steam somewhere between 5800-6100 RPM. The manifold you have on there now works perfectly fine in that RPM range without losing any low-end power. Leave the upper that you have on...

    Yep. I'm so glad I'm done. Thanks for asking! :D Joe

    TFS TW heads and Crane cam users please help

    What he's saying is get a set of better springs to take complete advantage of the camshaft. That is probably some of the best 100 bucks you could possibly spend. Trust me. That's what he's saying. :D Joe

    Clutch Help

    First, why convert to hydraulic clutches? They cost way more and you constantly have to worry about master cylinders taking a dump along with various other parts associated with a hydraulic setup. Secondly, straight cut gears will not be street car-friendly whatsoever. Helical cut gears are...

    They say that weirdos come out when it's a full moon.... I wonder how many weirdos will be out on 6.6.06? Joe

    Lifters?????

    Remember, spring pressures on hydraulic rollers are ATLEAST 100 and sometimes closer to 200 lbs/sq. inch. Pushing on them with your fingers isn't going to tell you anything. I know money doesn't grow on trees but if you're worried about it, you should be able to find brand new stock...

    Increase timing to offset $ of better gas (MPG)?

    You won't get better gas mileage. You'll get the same, maybe, but nothing better. Think about it.... You can run 87 octane and 10* base timing to get the "proper" burn. By running 93 you are raising the flashpoint (can't think of a better word) of the gas, thus requiring more timing to get...

    Question about underdrive pulleys.

    Oh, and you don't need a bigger belt. The tensioner will take up for any extra slack. I know because I just pulled my pulleys off today and I reused the stock belt when I put them on.... Joe

    Question about underdrive pulleys.

    I'm not saying you all have no sense, but you've just gotta think.... 1) Do you have air tools? Probably not, since that would be the obvious answer. So.... 2) Since when you take a ratchet to the pulley, and it spins freely, you've got to find a way to get it to stop spinning. You...

    347 Oiling questions

    There ARE oil pans that will fit over the stock K. Which ones, I have no clue. I wouldn't get a high volume pump with a 5 quart pan. In the upper RPM's there is a chance you'll suck the pan dry. I'd look more for a stock blueprinted pump if you're that worried about it. If it was my 347...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    I was gonna say that. Dave Matthews - #41 featuring the Flecktones. It's about 31 minutes long - it's bad ass. :D Joe
