    C3 cabin heat

    I have a daytona style hood on my car, my thinking was to have the vents in the hood to get rid of some hot air from under the hood. When I did my turbo setup I could have hooked back up to the original exhaust pipes under the car but I went with sidepipes instead to see how much difference it...

    C3 cabin heat

    Check this product out http://www.coollizard.com/ I saw this at the SEMA show last year in Vegas, the guy had a coat of his heat barrier product on a griddle and had it turned up to 300 degrees and just a .040 thick layer of it kept ice cubes from melting any faster that the ones sitting on...

    Vertical Doors on a '79

    Lambo door kits I was at the SEMA show last nov and there were a half a dozen lambo door kit manufacturers on display. There was one mfg there that had the best looking setup and now I cant remember their name. If anybody was there that might remember it, I would appreciate the info on them...

    installing a big block?

    Yup what akray4play said. I had a small block serp setup from a 94 pickup on my small block and it fit fine so I got the big block brackets but no such luck. I had an L-88 hood on mine. I did mine before I started messing with e bay, didnt think to look there. I was in a hurry to get mine on the...

    '69 seats uncomfortable- what else will fit?

    I used a pair of 96 vette seats in my 72, They sit up a tad higher than the originals but I am short so no problem there. The drivers side seat was power but I didnt use it, I just bolted the 72 tracks to the 96 seats and bolted them in. I like em! MIke

    installing a big block?

    I tried using the truck setup on my big block but it stuck up too high to fit under the hood. I ended up using a street and performance serp setup on mine, it wasnt much more than buying the correct brackets and pulleys and it was new and shiny. ;) Mike

    Twin turbo big block first test drive...YES!!

    I didnt take very many pics of it till I was pretty much finished with it. On the drivers side I had to remove the vacuum tank to make room for the turbo, on the passengers side I had to take all the stock heater and a/c system out for that turbo to fit. I am going to use a vintage air system...

    Turbocharger questions

    My turbos are Rajays and are good for about 400 hp per turbo. I bought stainless to use for the exhaust but decided to try it first with mild steel to make sure it worked out ok. I used block hugger headers and have a 3 inch pipe that comes off the collector and runs down under the frame and...

    ? A/C Retrofit: early C3 ?

    Jack, I have a 72 coupe that I took all the factory heat/aircond parts out of, I am going to use a vintage air setup. If you end up making the deal maybe we could swap a few parts. If possible I would like to have the non a/c vent system in my car in addition to the vintage air setup, I live in...

    Need sidepipe cover measurement info

    HI, I am building a twin turbo setup on my 72 big block and I wondered if someone could tell me how far out from the body the sidepipe covers measure? I am running 3 inch sidepipes off the turbos and I am hoping I could buy the fiberglass factory looking covers to use over them. The measurement...
