    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...

    H&R Springs

    When I ordered from MM (starter box) I seem to recall that they had very good customer service over the phone. Give them a call and I'd bet they can get you pointed in the right direction on the part selection.

    How do I mount my dipstick with BBK Longtubes?

    I picked up a flexible one at a local parts store. It was not model specific in any way. Works fine and easy to route.

    Which bolt? (mid pipe to cat back)

    Both bolts fell out on one side. What type of bolt should I use to replace? (grade 8 or other?) Also, what size? Last question. What should I torque the new bolt/nut to? Thanks for the help.

    Too much power?

    I'll have to agree with the comments saying that opinions will vary wildly on this topic. For my two cents, 350 to 400 RWHP is definitely doable in a DD or otherwise decent street car. My TFS top end kit gave me just shy of 300 rwhp. And it was entertaining and liveable. With my setup (LT...

    Urethane paintjob vs base/clear

    I'll probably need to get my car painted at some point too. Not to steal the thread, but what would a quality job cost? chaos254: What are the prices you are looking at?

    BBK Long tube headers hitting steering shaft

    That would be weird. I had the motor installed by a decent shop just a couple weeks ago and asked them to look at the mounts (no better time to replace than while there's no motor in there). And they said they were fine. Is it possible to have broken mounts but not be able to see it (WITH NO...

    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...

    Speedo correction help please - TKO500

    I have the SpeedCal already installed. Used it well for my T5 and 3.73 gears. Problem is, it's not even in the ballpark with the TKO500. I hit 150 mph in 1st gear. So obviously the SpeedCal will not correct down that much. It's generally designed to increase the MPH reading when shifting...

    How many miles during break in before I can drive on the freeway???

    Maybe time for the first oil change? I've heard from an engine builder that it is usually a good idea to change the oil after the first 100 to 150 miles, then again at 300. Like others said, that may be just opinion, but it can't hurt.

    Manual tranny question - PLEASE HELP

    Tranny has not been rebuilt. Before the crank breaking issue it was fine. Not sure if the tranny was damaged when the engine went though. Could I have lost just two gears? Wouldn't there be gear bits interfering with the rest?

    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...

    How will pulling the Vert front cross-brace affect my car?

    I left mine off after installing LT headers too. The x brace hit the headers just before the collectors (on the driver's side if I remember right). I notched the brace out, and that gave me enough clearance until I fired it up. Running I still get contact between the headers and brace...

    Anyone using Slingbox? Need help hooking laptop to TV

    It looks like your Samsung model has a PC input. But check to make sure. That's the best way to hook up your laptop. You'll be able to get full HD resolution then, running the LCD as a second monitor. Using the S video output gives you very low resolution. If it doesn't have a PC input...

    Problems w/ the Neighbor

    Some interesting items for your neighbor to note on that chart: Truck 90dB, power mower at 3 feet 107dB, and motorcycle 100dB. I say interesting because all of those are typical noisemakers you will encounter in the same place. Sure you wouldn't run a mower that early in the morning. But...
