Watch the RPM'S Once you get it back running, watch the RPM'S. The other 15 studs are ready to pull out as well, especially if new valve springs were installed at the machine shop. We have done just what you did to get us thru a 'race' weekend, but upon return home pulled the heads, and sent...

check the flywheel When you install the ZZ-4, the flywheel that comes with the motor must be used or a CORRECT service replacement. This engine is balanced from within, where the older 327 was balanced differently. Check closely with your dealer. If you screw on the old flywheel to the new...

How about the body date and plant? Check the trim tag Roland. See if it is an A.O.Smith or St. Louis body. Post all the numbers and letters including the body build date. Just currious. It is very interesting that the numbers are so close, especially a powerglide car, but later than the vin...

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW? The knowledge is here, all you need is to ask the question. Surprisingly, many solid axel cars are being restored right now. They are still hiding out there.

Did you find anything yet? How much do you want to spend? Must it be NCRS or Bloomington Gold quality? Specifically, what do you want? I can help. Jim

They are only original once !!! In 1990, I restored an original 71 Z-28 R/S Camaro. The car was a 100% original vehicle, with build slip and waranttee plate (POP). The color was code 61 Burnt Orange, with black delux interior. Great car, and when it came time for paint, I changed it to 1990...

It appears to be the buy of the year!! I think you got a very nice car, even if it is not a matching number vehicle. Is there any factory paperwork, like the windowsticker with it? How about ownership history? I really believe the 'hunt' is as much fun as the find......and some times, there...

It may have been a rodant packing paper too . In 30 years I have not found any build slips on pre 67 Corvettes.

where did you get it? Who did you buy it from?If a dealer , see if he will give you any info. private detectives can trace it. DMV in many states for a fee can go back in time, but with today's privacy laws it is getting harder. Police agencies can definately go back, but they have to have a...

Out of Round tires? I have seen many out of round tires......... I just saw a broken flex plate on a new Tahoe. That is the automatic trans fly wheel. This unit was boken in three places. Talk about vibration!! Take the inspection cover off the bottom of the trans where it meets the engine...

Lube up Poly, and let's go Racing !! If you lube the poly properly when installed, they will not squeak. They are a tougher material and hence, when the car is driven hard it is less prone to distort suspension settings in hard cornering. But for every good handling item used, you will give up...
