Oh, I thought you wanted the hood mount style... Oh hell yes! Don't just mount a hood mount because you think you have to! I don't know about nitrous pressure, bottle temp or bottle weight gauges, but I've had a Nordskog remote digital fuel pressure gauge on an 8-gauge auxilliary dashtop...

Just to make it MORE fun.... Edelbrock also makes new "Q-jets"! :) All these designs have strengths and weaknesses. More importantly, all have improved versions from the original. Holley itself has several upgraded versions as does Barry Grant. Edelbock, a slightly upgraded Carter AFB...

Bone stock replacement motor I haven't touched the mill yet. I've spent...wow, I can ALMOST admit it easily....right at about $45K on this heap to build a platform for a monster motor and haven't.....even.....touched......the..... motor......it .....came....with.....wow (what an IDIOT!) :hb...

Remember usage vs. cost vs. perfectionism vs. bang for the buck If you drive your car a lot, especially at speed, unless you put on one of those assinine bras, you will nuke the paint job on the "nose cone" within a few years - really regardless of how little or much you pay. A decent...

Yes, you can. No, you shouldn't. The tranny has it's own fluid pump to send fluid to the converter and this is what moves the fluid through the radiator. No additional pump is needed, like in the rare differential coolers you find on some vettes (some of these also flow without a pump, just...

I put in the 3.73 rear from Tom's Differentials about a year ago. I did this primarily because I only bought the heap to build and put in a monster super deck stroker big block that would shred the standard 10 bolt, and intended to immediately put in a Gear Vendors OD. 3.73 was the highest...

How DARE you say that stuff is HIGH!?!? :) But it's BILLET Dude!!! :Silly CHROME!!! :_rock KNURLY!!! You can't put a mere DOLLAR value on that!!! ;LOL Yeah, that's very true. Any part can break and will. A decent Ford 9" setup, highly modified with all the best 'go-fast' parts...

Oh, I feel better now.... That Ford IRS is a standard "porsche-style" inboard brake model... http://www.dutchmanms.com/1_indep9rears.html That was the only one I saw on the 'site. These are the bolt on frame section things common in streetrodders, but these are apparently a nightmare to...

I bought too early then!!! Damn! I would ABSOLUTELY go with the 9" Ford over the 12 Bolt!!! Those things are nearly indestructable in anything that weighs under 5 tons!!! Well, I guess I bought early....if I ever get to build my "oberstfrankenbigundblocken" that was the whole reason I ever...

Eaton C Fiber Guts? Wow. No I hadn't heard of them until now. They sound very interesting. On the other hand C-fiber (and kevlar, fiberglass, ceramics and even high strength aluminum and titanium) structures are remarkable for their tensile strength, elasticity and this and other properties...

Sorry for the delay! BTW, the VBP transverse front spring conversion is GREAT! I ended up finding a local shop that installed it for me for fairly cheap ($250) so I didn't have to scare myself silly under the car in the driveway on "might-make-it" jackstands. (Yes, I'm a COWARD! :) ) I had...

Externally the TD 12bolt unit is the same It does seem to be heavier, just from moving it and another one laying nearby around on the floor, but I would imagine this is a matter of a few pounds - possibly up to 5-10, which is tiny on a vette IRS, since that's sprung weight (bolted straight to...

My First High-End Upgrade...12 bolt No monster disrespect intended, but this is one of the weaknesses in the vette. The reason those rearends held up to 550+ hp engines was simple: lack of decent tires. They also do grenade. They are quick-acting, lower-rotating mass units, with good...

....and for some more bad news.... I have long since replaced my light switch - and had the dash (all parts) out many times. Now all the gauge lights blow a fuse in a matter of minutes. Somewhere there is a grounding lightbulb socket I suspect. I found one once shortly after I got the money...

Don't know about '72's per se... Steering wheel pullers are easy to use, with just a ratchet and the bolts provided - a generic one should work..... except... on my '75 I didn't need one! The center bolt did nothing! My wheel came loose while driving and I almost lost it. Only three of...

Good Deal Guy!!! You're going to love that thing!

$10.7 TT&L + $21K so far.... I got it in July and have put 26K miles on it.... The sad thing is I haven't even TOUCHED the engine, which is only a temporary resident anyhow... 97MoneyPit don't feel that way - the only reason mine has cost so much is what I intend for it... A standard, decent...

I have the whole K&N she-bang The 14x4 or x6, with the X-Stream lid, K&N Oil Breather, K&N Oil Filter.... All seem to work well.... I had to modify the under side of the plate on one side of the carb filter and the filter slightly to clear the hose fitting to the carb without kinking, and...

Alright I'll take back the "SnowBird" remark, *IFF* Y'alls Imperialist Northern Aggressor SNOWBIRDS keep your EVIL, WHITE FUNGUS to y'allsselves!!! We had PLENTY of the stuff here in God's Country (Dallas/Fort Worth) and need no more!!! I did manage to get tons of OT during the "Fluffy...

The WHOLE reason I BOUGHT the heap... Was to be a host for the ULTIMATE MILL.... Merlin Aluminum Super Deck Block, Displacement between 10-12L (615-730 CID) Big Chief Style Pontiac heads, Dart, Merlin or Canfield, 340cfm+ intake runners Lunati or Canfield Rotating Assy with full strength...
