    Transmission to drive shaft clearence

    Im nearing the end of my motor swap and i have another could-be problem. The motor is sitting on the motor mounts and wont allow the trans to engage the drive-shaft any further. The slip yoke is 85% in the transmission, it feels nice and solid and it looks like it could be ok, but what do i...

    Stuck Torque Converter

    im in the middle of doing a motor swap, and im trying to mate my trans (TH350) to my engine (350), but it seems that the torque converter isnt seated all the way on the input shaft. So i take a look at the transmission and figure that i should just take the converter off and put it back on...

    no spark

    I just dropped the new 350 in my GP, and now im trying to start it. The thing is that i am getting no spark. I've tried two coils and I've re-installed the distributor three times. I don't have much experience with ignition timing yet, so im kind of at a loss. Anybody have any suggestions?

    I am Screwed!!!!!

    OK, im finally doing the 350 swap in the GP and up until this point things have gone "fairly" well. The problem is that i need to basically wire the engine from scratch. I have my 69 c-10 to use as an example but im still getting my *ss kicked. I have a diagram that i made just for a general...

    Motor Mount Swap!

    Hey guys, before i swap my motor mounts for the 350 going in id like to clear something up. Ive heard that when you swap mounts you need to remove the bolt holding the lower control arm on to the cross member. I saw a motor-less Camaro at the junk yard one day, and it looks like it would be a...

    Fuel Issues

    Im having a problem with my truck, it seems that something will periodically clog the fuel line/tank and stall the engine. Ive cleaned the tank out, and changed the fuel pump but im having the same type of problem. Ive been told that its because there isnt a "relief" in the gas tank, so no air...

    Manual Trans

    I want a manual trans in my car very very badly!! From what i hear im better off with an auto, cuz their cheaper, and easy to find, but NOTHING beats a manual. Does anybody know of a good way to put a manual trans in their G-body, or any SBC or BBC setup?

As i start to ugrade the car i will eventualy buy a posi, but i dont want to have to replace a stock one. Thanks in...

    Painted in the garage

    This is my friend's 80 something El Camino. He brought it by yesterday to show me the paint job he did. This is acrylic enamal paint from Lowes sprayed with a small compresser in his garage. This is only the first coat, with about three more to come, but in my personal opinion it looks damn...

    Camel Hump Heads

    My friend has a 69' Chevy C-10 with a 350, Camel Hump heads with anywhere from 9.5:1 to 10:1 compression, decent carb (650cfm), long tube headers, and possibly a converter. What bogles my mind is that this truck is a fu**ing monster!! From idle it will smoke the tires all the way down the block...

    Second choice IROCs

    This seems a little unlikely, but im curious. Does anyone here have IROCs on their car? or even 18's or 20's? I generally prefer "go" to "show", but a friend of mine bought these rims and i fell in live with them (top). After doing a little digging i found them, but the're ford rims, and i dont...

    Royal Purple?

    Does anybody use Royal Purple motor oil? I've heard it's the "best" oil you can put in your car(s), does that mean hp gains, longer engine life, or what?
