It looks like all their victor series intakes are getting liquidated. 2-piece single plane is marked down from 700$ to 179$.

Not a Chevy guy, but noticed summit had there 2955 victor intake go from 540$ to 120$. I haven't seen any awful reviews for this intake so I can't understand why it would take a dive in price like this. Anyone use this intake or interested in a cheap topper for a small block Chevy thought I...

I am looking at a dual-action shifter setup from American Shifter Company. Just seeing if anyone had used them before or heard anything about them. I see they have great reviews, but they are mainly reviewing their knobs and company as a whole. I'm looking at a trans-mounted shifter for a...

All good to know, that is the same combo I'm looking to put in my 85' Cutlass. Thank you both.

Is it worth it financially to track down a KZF transmission to put behind a stock 350 that I really don't drive too hard anyway? Once I get the 455 built and ready for swap I plan on buying one from CK or one of the other reputable shops. Also, if the main difference is the WOT shift points...

Ok thanks

I appreciate all the advice and information. I think I will upgrade the pump and servo along with the rebuild kit for now. It is going to be behind a relatively stock Buick 350 for a while. Once I get closer to swapping in the 455 I'll make the decision to either bite the bullet and pay the...

I'm pretty new to trans rebuilds. When you say ""getting a quality machined valve body is important" do you mean an aftermarket one or getting mine machined by a professional? I have seen that TCI and some others make a replacement VB and considered that route. Although I have read that they...

That is good information to know thanks. Do you know if a BBO will have the same issues as dimensionally they are slightly wider? Just asking as I plan on putting a 455 in my 85' in the near future and have been looking at header options.

Thanks for the info, I'll give CK another call and see if they answer. Also, I noticed you went with Transgo reprogramming kit instead of one of CK's rebuild kits. Is there a reason you went that route over the other? Just curious, I've read up on other builds, it seems about 50/50 one way or...

That helps out a lot thank you. Is the valve body the main difference between the CZF BRF and other trans codes? Is it better to get a valve body like those or does it make a huge difference. Are there other differences mechanically that would benefit from a GN MCSS 442 type trans? The...

I have a 200-4r I'm looking to rebuild soon and was looking for some feedback. It is a KTF code trans which according to the interwebs came out of an olds 88 most likely. I would like to know if it is worth hunting down a CZF BRF trans or would building up this one with upgraded parts be just...

I gave them a call and will probably end up going with them. They said 85$ a wheel, which to me is fair. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Does anyone know a place to get a set of rims powder coated near Macon, GA? I just moved here recently and I was going to do them myself with a cheap powder coat gun and a crappy oven, but I figured if the price was decent I would have them professionally done. Any assistance would be greatly...
