Im just glad at least some of them will be recycled. Even though they looked like they saw the bad end of a Peterbilt I couldn't bring myself to toss them.

On the trans, that's the one place Im going to spend budget up front, and hope to be as close to bulletproof as I can. 700 HP isn't crazy by today's standards. So a T56 Magnum build with some mild...

So this is my second attempt at a Gas/B Drag n’ Drive project. I punted a previous project that was way too rusty.

Buddy. I don’t have a good number. Tell me what they are worth to you and I’ll let them go cheaper than that probably. I just don’t want to scrap rare carbs that might be useful in some capacity.

Broken tripower carbs. Any value?

I got these on a 66 TP intake. I was so concerned at looking at the intake number I didn’t notice it has a broken runner. So I bought a doorstop basically. I’m sure it could be repaired but not...

I have had nothing but bad luck with the quality of the opening rating with the OEM style thermostats. In a perfect world I would like a 170 degree thermostat. I bought a USA made Mezeire? Maybe...

If we as a group feel like thats the best path. Im fine with that, but I also read all the time that the classic car crowd gets way to tunnel vision on making their cars run at 160*. Most factory...
