Car will rarely touch reg pavement. What are the pros and con's of a ladder bar?

Car had 2.14 gears and 195/75/14 tires stock. With the 3.73s and either 295/50/15s or 275/60/15s how far off would it be if I were to hook up my speedo? Lol

So. At the yard where I work part time pretty much anything in it is mine for the picking. Other day I found a 54 Chevy one ton in super solid shape. Thinking slap on s10 frame with 4wd blazer rear axle and a 350 and a short flatbed. Always been a street/rat/traditional rod kinda guy anyway. And...

I know you can use a b body master cylinder on a g body(I had one on a 79 Malibu) but will a hydroboost setup from an 85 caprice fit my 86 cutlass?

Two of the short blocks I'm looking at are 98-99 vortec motors. With stock vortec pistons off the shelf felpro head gaskets and my 60s SBC heads with 58 cc chambers what would the compression roughly be?

Pretty sure I know the answer just wanna double check. Will a 700r4 shifter work fine on a 2004r?

Has anyone converted to e85 and still run a carb?

Any value to rust free pans from just behind front seat to the firewall? One thing I've always wanted to do to this car is custom floors and recessed firewall with removable tunnel. Allowing for engine setback and in car trans swaps. Current floor is almost 100% rust free aside from misted...

I had read online that the drive shaft needs extended with a lift. How much longer does it need to be with a 4" lift?

Alright so everywhere I look 49.5" seems to be the agreed on length for the driveshaft. How tight is that measurement? I have a 50" shaft laying around and didnt know if that 1/2" puts it over the top. My car is also lifted 4" in the rear

What's everyone's biggest pet peeve when looking at someone's car? Mine is incorrectly hooked up pcv. You know where they have the pcv valve in one valve cover and then a reg valve cover breather on the other. Irritates the #$%& out of me lol

My olds has been sitting since '04. I'm sure by now not only does it desperately need the gear oil changed it likely has a crust on everything. Short of taking everything apart what would be the best way to clean it out and still have the oil stick well enough to lube it?

So on two completely different cars I've had I've found some oddness with the engines. Both cars had ho 5.0s tho neither was supposed to. The first was an 83 caprice with a 305 ho. According to info I found it wasn't even available in caprices till 84. Was before I understood rpos so I didn't...

Im always working on something. I'll do a list of my more in depth/longer term builds. #1. My 86 cutlass. Bought in 2004 as a full granny car down to the wire hubcaps and vinyl half top. Going with a replica Hurst olds body appearance with a gutted a caged street freak/drag/mad max vibe inside...

As some may have caught on my little brother is super encouraging of my newfound remotivation on my 86 cutlass. Was the first full on granny to hot rod build he was around for. And as a side benefit he has been contributing as many parts as possible like the 442 lower air dam he gave me last...

I already know the advantage of long lower control arms(truck arms) but is there any advantage of long uppers on a triangulated four link? I will not run ladder bars btw

Anyone have any odd ball style builds for their g bodies? I'm actually shooting for my cutlass to be in time for wastelander week end :)

Anyone have a body mount location diagram for an 86 cutlass? I had seen one on a thread awhile back and thought I'd saved it but now I can't find it. Need it to plan floorpan modifications. Thanks :)

Was unable to find an actual how to. Basically what all is needed to make them fit? I can work around the bumpsteer thing

Looks like my brother may be getting into the g body thing. He's had his factory big block 70 c10 listed for sale hunting a dd. Dude popped up with an 83 Hurst olds with a 383 and a 9" offering a straight trade. May have another convert :D
