    Trying to change rear pads...can't compress piston

    My person experience is the cube is junk, they make a nice kit for it for about 60 bucks, but you have to buy it off a truck in most areas. Otherwise, just be crafty with a pliers.

    Stock? 76 302

    I have had mostly autos, and I just got a T5 that I have not tore into yet. The problem is, the person I got it from said that at highway speeds, it had vibration, so assuming that this is only while it is in gear, and goes away in neutral, and is actually something in the tranny, what could...

    Swapped and Passed?

    I always thought it was illegal under emissions to put a motor in the car other than what the vin says should be there. I also heard that is federal law for street vehicles, but I doubt that much. Brian
