Does anybody have any advice about Rustoleum vs POR-15? If Rustoleum will do the job after sandblasting and welding, it would save me a boatload of money I could use elsewhere in the car.....

I did a search. Probably didn't find anything because it sounds crazy. I was talking to a dirt track racer. He mounted the frame directly to the body.......................no bushings. At this point, it is more of just a theoretical conversation, so don't flame me. From a handling and chassis...

Oh, and speaking of a rotten 2020, this happened too! Before pictures the day I bought it the evening before I dropped it off at The Vette Doctor Inc. scroll down towards the bottom for the after pictures...

You have no Idea. My first daughter was born under quarantine protocols May 30th, and then I lost my dad August 16th to Covid. He was only 67 with no pre-existing conditions. He was a grandfather for 2 and a half months. Wrenching takes my mind off of all of this BS, so The more I have to work...

Hahahahaha, that technically is not an inaccurate description, since the L29 was also rebranded as the mercruiser 300hp 7.4 no, my car is super low, I drove through a lower part of the road that I couldn’t see was way more flooded than I thought, and I ended up driving t ough water that was...

I threw some extra pictures in there. One is of the original L29 horrible common rail injection setup, that alternates between creating a very slight constant vacuum leak, and spraying fuel all over the engine bay. I finally got it to basically work, but it was terrible, and the stock L29...

Well life is a series of peaks and valleys. As I was on my way to have my car looked at for an estimate to repair rear end collision damage done by a midget neckbeard Millenial with no brakes or sense in a nissan hardbody pickup, my lowered 4” in the front 3” in the rear cone filter L29 took a...

The weight of the driveline compressed it to that height? How does it rode and what are you doing for shocks?

I was looking at the 5660’s which is also an s10 application. how many coils did you trim to achieve that height?

Is that a big block?

Nice car! What are you doing for springs?

Header clearance is incredibly poor and ive already banged the pass side header hard enough to cause a slight exhaust leak at one of the slip tubes. it should be noted my car is extremely low. Its practically riding on (or may actually be) riding on the bumpstops after the big block swap. Im...

They sound better than x-pipes to me. case in point, i had this Shelby for 24 hours thursday to Friday. It had some blower stuff done, but otherwise was pretty close to the same as my old one, except it just didnt sound as good. They insisted over and over the exhaust was stock. It turned out...

Its a secret! I’ll post a video clip when i get it back. i will say that the doug’s headers came with 3.5” to 2.5” collector reducers, andthe pipes i have are 2.5” mandrel bent stainless. That should be pretty healthy for torque. For now, theres no exhaust crossover pipe, but eventually i’m...

I dropped my car off at noon on a thursday with 90% of the parts, all i needed from him were mufflers and tips, which he had in stock. After leaving 2 messages yesterday i get a text from his personal cell saying he barely started on it, and he doesnt work as much these days. This is probably...

So I don't need this adapter? I could send it back and get the summit unit instead. What do you mean by linear/progressive?

::Slow Clap:: Thank you for that sir, but where do I find said tool. I have been unable to locate one at my local hardware store.

did not work. Its definitely a size in between 3/8ths and 1/4

People always ask me why i didn't just ls swap this. Like to the point of nausea. I took a screen shot below from this video, but holdner did a dyno of this engine as it sits with headers with the same specs, and it made 356 hp and 486 ft lbs of torque. not including the peripherals like the...
