I don't know how your friend does his powder coating but my son's powder coating involves running the part through a costic bath followed by a spraying of the paint. This paint goes everywhere , into every crevise so you really have to mask everything well. It then passes through an oven at 400...

Is it really going to be a better transmission then the present Tremec's???

glen242 you should run the lightest springs you can get away with, Stiff springs are harder on lifters rockers and valve stems and guides. I wouldn't up the pressure just for insurance. For long installed height you need a different retainer and different keepers. EAch can be had with about ,050...

Mine didn't work until I squirted it with WD40. I put a blanket on the floor to protect it then used the red straw on a can of $D40 and flooded up the stem. I also removed the black plastic cap, it tends to strip inside so when you push up and you must push up on the stem/cap and then turn the...

The first thing I look at is retainer to rocker arm clearance, you definitely need clearance but how much?? The second is where the point contact on the valve head starts and finishes. The rocker sweeps outward/ towards the exhuast manifolds as the valve is compressed so you want to start this...

Glen242 I don't know if the hydraulic installed height is the same as a solid or not. I always always run solid cams so I haven't had to deal with a hydraulic. As for borrowing a lifter to check I thought most speed shops would have them laying around. As for dye that is a good ideal but I have...

Your right about analzying both the pictures. One thing to try with your rockers and push rods is take the nut off and with the cam on it's heal/ where you would set lash push down on the push rod end and try lifting the end with the roller over the valve stem. You should be able to lift this...

Could be. It might be something you are not interested in today but down the road if you want to someday build a really screaming motor it will come up and will you know how to make a smart decision on what bush rod length to use???

Yes they do but what are you looking for when you adjust the rod?? Just making it longer, looking at it and say "Yes this is what I want"" HOw do you know that is what you want?? If you have 2 push rods , one .100 longer then the other and both look fine which do you choose?? What about...

This post is not asking for help. I know how to set up the proper length pushrod. I was trying to get a discussion going. I wanted people who are interested in learning to step forward and I would guide the topic in what to look for. Most completely ignore push rods , install whatever and call...

Tried posting pictures but the host has dropped them. Sorry

I have a 75 with 18 inch rims all around. Are 9 1/2 inch standard size?? I fit 10 inch wide but I needed offset trailing arms, modified the frame a little and ran 6 1/2 inch offset. This is way too much offset for a normal 75. I did run 5 inch backspacing with another set of wheels and you can...

have never seen this topic come up. I had to go through this process this past week. I bought two sets of pushrods from Comp Cams. The high tec ones at $198 per set. I have taken 2 pictures. Each picture has a good point and a bad point. Can you pick them out and explain what I should be...

Yes that is a 1/2 inch rigid stainless line running between the exhuasts. Been that way for over 10 years and never once have I had a problem. Remember I use a pair of electric pumps at the tank so vapor lock is not usually a problem. If you feel the line after a hard run down the expressway it...

Just saw the 6 oclock new and 3 kids die as a result of speed, loosing control and cutting the car in half. They are looking for the other car that took off. That is what is causing our problems.

It doesn't matter what I know or don't know the cop with the ticket book is king. His work is law. Even if I fight it and win I still go through the hassel. Street racing is really really bad here and another 2 kids were killed recently. I live in a area of about 5 million in a small 60 mile...

We have constant threat of spot checks by the police. At car shows they sometimes block the enterance/exit and make every car go through a very quick visual safety inspection. Nothing much but cats really show up. A quick peek under the car, no cats $450 fine. Can't argue so I put a set of...

Gary will see this post and he is absolutely the most quailfied to answer this question. If he doesn't notice it I will bring it to his attention tomorrow. He will know what to do.

This is my 3 inch stainless exhaust . It is pieced together and tig welded together. This shows the modified crossmember This shows the mandrel bent pieces that pass under the rear end. This shows a overall shot of the 3 inch exhaust. It is tucked nice a tight to the floor boards.
