On my Buick 455, stock'ish Center Force would slip in higher gears at WOT. The McLeod pressure plate at 20,000 miles seized up while I was driving to Drag Week causing me to miss Drag Week (and...

I'm not aware of anything off the shelf. I expect to cut this bell, maybe just a smidge with a cone-less mini-starter. Its a BOP to T-56 bell as I have a T-56 ready to go behind my OHC at some point....

My re-grind cam had the base circle reduced by 0.040", so the .060" caps would put it a smidge over the "spec". I believe the tolerance is +/- 0.025" so technically could probably get away with a...

I have custom Ferrea valves in my engine, unfortunately are stock sized (chevy exhaust diameter). I ended up cutting one cam housing for the bigger cam because I could not find lash caps thin enough...

Cleaning it up for start up, the shifter cover was scuffed up. I "thought" it was brushed metal, but turned out to be some kind of epoxy(?) paint and did not appreciate it when I took a buffer too it...

Hmm, I don't see why the oil pan needs to be moved at all. Yes the four bolts that go to the cover need to be removed, and removing the cover will damage the single piece oil pan gasket, but nothing...
