Very much the way I have set up my engines. Gonna guess that some of it I might have learned from you over the years. I would get as much initial as the starter could handle, but maybe back off from...

If the price of nicely restored collector vehicles wasn't so expensive, then Just Dashes would either be unavailable due to low margin, or it would be more affordable. My guess is the expensive...

I've been out of it for a few years, but 8 bolt pumps and early 69 11 bolt pumps have a shorter snout. Late 69 went to a longer snout water pump, and used a deeper water pump pulley to realign with...

Ouch! Sorry that happened!

What's torque spec on our classics, like 70 or 80? Yet modern cars take much more. I think my GMC truck is spec'd somewhere in the range of 140-ish, but I don't do...

Glad to see these projects meet with success.

For a daily driver, I totally get the LS. My GM trucks with 5.3's have turned 300k and 200k, with little repair other than alternator, PS pump, etc., and still run nice. I've never been able to...

A set of small valve 350 heads like 47's or 11's would be great to run on a street 400. Much friendlier than 670's.

I have a set of 47's, with 2.11/1.77 stainless valves, on my 400 with flat tops...
