How could you make something like the banks turbo system fit in a Vette?

Wow, really? I had no idea it was that tough. John, would it be easier to supercharge then?

Okay, so it's time to order. It's just easiest to go through Ecklers because that's what I have at my disposal right now, so I'm going to order the above mounts.

And you didn't dent up your oil pan?

Why do you want one??

'78 L82s came with the smog pump too, but not my L48.

He should get the pilot bearing and a new throwout bearing when he get's the new clutch. That should be in there. For me, the pilot bearing was a pain in the ass to get in. But there are many tricks to get it in. If you have a problem just get it real cold (freezer) and/or heat up the...

I thought those SUV flips came from overinflated tires. And blowouts came from underinflated ones. No?

Really?! I never had a problem with Ecklers, but if Mid America supports us then I'll look there from now on. Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea.

Dude, don't be sarcastic. JohnZ knows his **** and he doesn't really need to prove that to anybody. I might misunderstood your above comment, but 1) that is uncalled for and 2) you are just simply wrong. I would take John's word over anybody's anyday with anything automotive related. If he says...

How are the camshaft and the sound of your car related? I saw an add for an engine and it said:

What's wrong with the ones from Ecklers? I'd rather pay less money, but I don't want to sacrifice performance. And John said that the stock ones are fine, which I'll take as fact. But I just want to know if the above ones from Ecklers that I posted are stock.

I'm looking in the Ecklers magazine right now, and in the back they have the "restoration" parts for the Vettes, and they have the part: 68-82 Mount, Motor, All 17.99 ea [Replacement with safety interlock] Is this what I'm after?

1978 is a great year. They are priced really well because they aren't at that point where they are rare and much desired (why, I don't know). But that benefits us, so all's well. For a few starters, the antenna motor has a tendency to go bad because it is located right above the muffler. So...

Will do, John, thanks! :D

Well less psi is lower milage because the lower the psi the smaller the circumference of the tire. Therefore same amount of revolutions = less miles = less mpg. That's my guess.

To me the repair is worth the excitement, although I don't really think that it's much off like you say. Just doesn't sound right.

Just get the 6-speed......

I agree. In my opinion, you have a car like a Vette, might as well get the full experience. But some people just don't like shifting, I guess. I don't understand either, my man. :confused:

Well I think the general rule of thumb is that the lower the tire pressure, the more tire on the ground, and the more traction. But there is happy medium between too little and too much.
