This is a quest many are following. Searching for a project car can be a long frustrating experience. Take heart though as their are still good buys around but all to often folks have outrageous prices on absolute junk. Picked up a 69 427 coupe this past weekend that is so original it is...

94 Seats in a 68......no width problem

Folks been burnin their legs for decades on their Hookers but their selling them in a quantity that merits production. And they are still worth every penny! This is my second Vette with Hookers & I still love em but realize all to well they bite. Let us know what you think after you get them on...

Chris.....Take it from me it will be a long time before you care about your sound system. You will be so intigued by the sound & feel of your BB, it will be months before you care about tunes. My son is after me to drop in a hot sounding system, but even after a couple of months of havin this...

Chris... all is looking great & each piece is bringing you a step closer to having it done. can't wait to see the injection unit installed myself.......John

Chris, You know every time you start a project this size, something is going to happen. Know you have the finished project firmly planted in your mind & will work toward that end. Despite the setback (envitable) the car is coming along & seeing things like body color on has to be a major...

Am watching this post with interest as I have short L-88 hood & may need long to eliminate wiper door. Just a note of caution the hood barely clears the air cleaner & leaves little room for the wing nut if you have a Big Block. Had a new carb installed & it required a new stud. Mechanic used a...

Chris I will be your first customer. Build me one as I have nothing in their now. Can see it now on the list wiper system by Chris!

Keith....... Thanks I was seeing thousand dollar bills with wings! Thanks again for your input & will try to help you someday, hopefully for something much less serious.........John

Going to throw this out there to get some opinions........ Previous owner removed wiper motor & all related vacuum devices. I have the motor (not sure if it works though). Is there a work around regarding wiper panel other than, a to the windshield hood. This ones got me scratching my head...

Well finally know what happened. Had a roller rocker stud failure. Seems the screw in studs were on the short side so not holding upper retainers by many threads so it failed. Had to pull intake to get lifter but fortunately no major damage as engine valley had screen across & caught lifter...

Hib......My experience with this motor is only 3 weeks old. No doubt that it has miles & is suffering from wear & tear. The oil problem came out of nowhere. I was resigned to the fact that I had never felt the engines potential but it was acceptable to me. But events like the oil leak must be...

Keith....Ty again for # & your time!......John

Keith......Did check bolts holding intake & found a couple had to be retorqued slightly. Did not do a vacuum test. Since its in the shop this mystery will soon be solved. If its rings, I'm in for alot of work. May the gods be kind!!!!!!!!.......John

Keith.....I am becoming increasingly bothered by my switch to synthetic. Will go back to good old gummy oil. Actually idle still sucks which was kinda disheartening after purchasing a brand spanking new (Silver plated edition) Holley. Idle will trail off & had to compensate by raising idle...

Keith....Manifold never disturbed. Replaced old 850 Holley as previous owner admittted to what he called alot of tweaking & could not get idle settled down, so started fresh with new 800 Holley. Hib....This engine has been together for a few years. Was originally set up for drag racing and was...

Keith, New Holley, new gasket on old Holley strip dominator manifold. Better not trash my motor changing oils:mad Its going in tomorrow to a local mechanic that works only on Corvettes. Had to wait a week to get in, so theirs alot of Vettes here. Prepared for the worst but hoping for the best...

Keith my first reaction was that it was a ring but cylinder with oil wet plug is showing almost 150 lbs. Certainly thats to high for a broken ring. It started when I was dialing in Holley. I was about to try a run under power & noticed it leaking oil out side pipe as I was getting in. My heart...

Have oil dripping from side pipe:( Did a compression check all are OK. One cylinder has oil wet plug. Is it possible a bad valve guide could cause this much oil to get into exhaust?
