That is kind of wierd haha, I wonder what made the axle out of alignment on a coil spring rear end. Maybe the control arm is bent?

Sounds like your car is dog tracking. That's when your rear axle isn't pointed straight on your frame so your car goes down the road sideways. A 4 wheel alignment will fix that.

If you have a tbi pump on there then it should be able to keep up no problem. Those run at about 12 psi so you might wanna put aregulator on there because you only need about 6-8 psi to feed a carb.

If you have enough money you could definitely do it. A nice built 4bt would fit in there nicely and make for a badass torque monster that would probably net you around 35mpg. You'll definitely need to do some modifications to the front end though, as even the 4 cylinder version weighs quite a...

Be a heck of alot better than my 72 Ski Doo Elan lol.

I'm thinking the pump is bad. The fluid level gets a bit lower with it running but not where it should be. The trans was working just fine last night so it strikes me as odd that the pump would just go out like that. I went out there a half hour ago and at first it wouldn't move but I let it run...

Sup guys, so I got this 1994 K1500 sitting in my driveway with what I think is a bad trans. It'll work fine for about 5 minutes when cold then when it heats up it starts slipping REAL bad and wont go anywhere. The motor will rev and hold at 2 grand at the torque converter stall speed, but it...

Pulleys, accessories, accessory brackets and belts are all I can think of.

Thats what I was saying. But we get alot of those cheap cars around here in Michigan, I could probably find a rusty running 95 Camaro with a 3.8 or something for around a grand if I looked hard enough. The rust belt really kills value around here, but if I was gonna go a fuel injected swap, it'd...

Very true, while I did consider them, I have one in a 2000 blazer and the fuel economy is TERRIBLE so that's why I didn't put them up there, but I did now so be sure to vote. I imagine it'd get much better mileage in a gbody though.

Yeah I see your point. I was already thinking no on the 3800 swap because it basically require all the same kind of stuff an ls swap would need. The only way I'd do this swap is if i just bought a donor F-Body then I'd basically just rip everything out of that and have the PCM tuned. I...

Thats what I'm saying. I know it wouldn't be the cheapest but come on with all the performance parts for the 6BT out there why not. And it would probably be one of the easier swaps being that its all mechanical. The only hard part would be fabbing mounts and finding a transmission to bolt up...

Hey y'all. Got a question and I wanted to see what ideas you guys would have about engine choices for me. Anyways, next month I should be getting that cutlass that I was blabbing about awhile ago lol, and I've been thinking about what I want to put under the hood. Its a 1978 supreme with only...

I remember somebody had an idea to use one of those remote operated electric trunk poppers and attach it to the throttle linkage. When your ready to start it you just hit the button a few times and your good to go.

You could try to make some shims to go in between the two halves of the shroud. Use some corrugated cardboard and just dont tighten the bolts too tight or you can use some metal or something. I know it sounds silly but it should work if you dont wanna buy another shroud
