    Question: tire sizes on a 79

    I have 275 60s on the rear of my 78 trans am...so i took a 275 of the TA and mounted it on a vette rim. It fit...but it was only about a 1/4 inch from the control arm...so i figured it was to close to fit due to the sidewall will flex when i turn and itll probally rub ...so, i put on a brand new...

    Question: tire sizes on a 79

    Im positive they wont fit in the front, but its the rear that i want to put the 275s on. Im just curious if anyone has done it or seen it done. Im thinking about being safe and putting in 255s in the rear, but i would like the extra width of the 275s... thanx zachh www.myspace.com/zaxsouthern79

    79 Bodywork Issue w/ Pics

    This may help a little, check to see the condition of the body mounts that are under the front clip. Normally when the gap at the top of the door is larger than on the bottom and vise versa, it means the body mounts are collapsed. Another thing about these cars is that no 2 vintage vettes are...

    This is a strange one

    there also should be a fusable link on the wire that goes down tro the starter solenoid. I believe it is a red wire, but im not sure. If that is partially blown, that might be your issue. There is also a link on another wire that bolts to a starter post, i'd check that too. I beleive that is...

    A real Pace Car, Opinions Welcomed

    Go fer it! A 383 is a 350 block so....it would fit in the exact same way as the original. Normal people looking at it would still think its the stock engine..the only thing is the internals are different. You have made a wise decision to keep the original. Its a "simple" swap. Id do it...

    This is a strange one

    I had the same problem on my firebird. It turned out that it was a problem within the starter. I guess it wasnt grounding out to the block like it should of, or there was an internal short.

    Performance Upgrades

    Bowtie Overdrives sells a complete kit to convert everything for a 700r4. To do this, the shifter needs to be modified, new crossmember/ mount, shorten driveshaft, TCC wiring, new cooling lines, TV cable. I did this to my 79, i bought their level 2 700r4, and i love it. The 1st gear is higher...

    Over-rev a LS7?

    I agree with Warren S, I work on brand new ones, they can do things youd be surprised at. We had a truck at our shop the owner wanted the engine replace (sucked up a little bit of water, bent a few rods and it had a 100 thousand miles on it) It was an LS1, we drained the oil out and had it...

    i remember.....i was about 8 or 9 and i went to my grandmas house for a weekend. On our way home, (me, my dad, and my younger brother) we cut through a neighborhood, and i noticed sitting in a yard was a cool old white car. I asked my dad what it was, he said a stingray. He hads always wanted...

    377 cid non stroker

    350 rods, and crank with 400 pistons. On a 383, you use a 400 crank and rods and a 350 piston. Thats why theres a 383 and a 377. The shorter stroke revs up faster than a longer stroke and it rev higher. Thats all, torque is lost at low rpms, but theres more hp at top end. It makes an...
