Some PS pumps moan when cold and always will. One of the Vettes and my old Land Rover Discovery both do but are fine when warm or in summer. Worry more about the leak. It could be as minor as the return hose leaking at the clamp due to cold or the system may be starting to fail. We have seen...

Quickest way would be a crate engine from one of the many rebuilders or a GM crate engine. Pick your horse power and write the check. A crate engine is also fastest to replace as there is no wating for the machine shop and none of the possible horror stories heard about some of them. Most crates...

Another vote for M1. 93 has 103,000 that includes 5 Big Bend races and still has the cross hatch in the cylinders, rod & mains look great. Blown head gaskets (and the desire for more power) prompted the tear down.

OK Ted, your post shows you to be kinda new to this :-) While it is not a hard job, I sugest you read up on the project and have a knowlageable friend with experiance help or at least watch over your sholder and guide you. The valve adjustment procedure will be listed in a manual which is a must...

Corvette Central has them for $44.00 per set for the lines and $42.95 for the correct filter.

Rock auto has them for as low as 10.24 each. RockAuto Auto Parts

Well at 59 with 3 C4s and a C3 I don't think you are being an "old fool". I had a C5 and found it to be the easiest Vette I ever had to get in and out of but, to me, the car had no soul. Once again, to me part of the Vette experiance is dropping down into it and becoming part of the car (I know...

Someone has raised that car! No stock Vette sits that high, maybe he lived on a dirt road like I used to.

Rogue, yep it's at 335hp. Suspension is lower and stiffer too and some think to stiff, kinda like the 84 C4 but at speed it feels just right. Car needs a 6spd trany like the C4s as 5th is way out of the power band, high beam blue light is way to bright, why do we suddenly need a green light if...

OK, if it's confession time, I too have a Mustang. 2007 Shelby GT that has about 10K, 2 Big Bends and 2 Sandhill ORCs. My ZR1s are semi retired due to finding parts for them although we still take one to the Texas Mile. GM really pi$$ed me off with their OnStar BS and I'll not buy another GM...

You are looking for a numbers matching 45 year old car that has a racing history. Honest cars out there are going to be expensive, no way around it.

Watch your State inspection requirements! In Texas the exhaust MUST exit behind the rear most opening (door) in the car body and those may be failed by a prick.

1. clutch adjusting rod, be sure it hasn't fallen out. 2. clutch fork for hole worn through allowing the rod to poke out rather than pushing the fork. 3. clutch fork ball broken off. 4. bad throw out bearing and/or worn out fork.

While you need to check for a draw, if the battery came from a chain store it may still be faulty. ORiles drove me nuts with a battery last week. Dead overnight in customer's car, took it in for replacement and the counter "expert" had to have it all day to charge and test. It took a full charge...

While I agree with Hib, don't forget to check the rear suspension condition and alignment too. Had a 97 in here a couple months ago the owner had aligned at a company Firestone store and they only did the front. Car was so spooky over 60mph no one wanted to drive it. Kinda had the same symptom...

They should come out but I see you have a Houston address. If the car has spent any time around the coast look underneath and see if there is a bunch of rust on the bolt's threads. If so wire brush the exposed threads and soak with a good penetrating oil for a couple days (respray daily). If you...

Jeff if you are going to let a prospective buyer tear down the engine before he buys it you are a far more understanding person than I am :-)

Thanks for the prompt reply! Rex S.

How do you like the new dash? Did the install go well or were there problems? Just wondering as this is the first I have seen posted and we have a customer that is interested in replacing his. Thanks! Rex S.

It's hard to beat GM crate engines and transmissions cost wise. It is a new assy. and comes with a 3/36 warranty.
