Ok here's the problem I've got about $1800 left in the budget at this time and I'm looking for some more power. I would like any ideas about what else I can do to my 350 to get the power up to were I'll be happy for a couple years a least. I'm pretty sure I'll be putting nitrous on my soon to be...

I've got some weird problems with the car that have never happened before. To start with my battery keeps going dead on me. It is a brand new battery, well actually the second new battery in about a week and a half because the first was defective. The battery dies during the day without the...

I can get a real good deal on brand new hedman hedders, but the won't fit if the car has a steering damper inside the crossmember. I haven't been able to find out if my car does. It has power steering on it so if someone can tell me for sure I can either get these soon or I'll have to start...

I am planning on buying some hedman headders soon and I need to know if there is a steering damper inside the crossmember. Hedman says that the hedders "Will not fit steering damper inside crossmember" so if there is one then what am I suppose to do because I can get these hedders for a very...

Hey guys I thought I'd start to do some research on engine swaps. Right now I've got a done up 350 but I'm thinking I'd like a big block under the hood. Any idea how hard it would be to swap a 454 with a new 6 speed tanny into the car and a rough idea of price would be good. Would 10 grand be...

I finally got my 1980 out and it was working good until I stopped at a red light. Well the light turned green and I punched it. All the car did was go a bit and then it lost power and I heard the exhuast go kind of like a poping noise only a deep pop. So I let off and then got on it agan only...

I want to add a better seat belt system to my 80 but I'm not exactly sure what to put in or of I could even put something better in without cutting up the interior. I think maybe a 4 point harness so that there isn't a belt in between my legs like on the five point. Anybody have any experiences...

My 1980 brakes squeak all the time under normal braking, so I e-mailed Hawk Performance and asked them about semi-metallic pads vs organic and they said that they have semi-metallic pads that won't squeak and they offer a bit better better braking then orgainics. Has anybody used there pads...
