    Need nitrous advice

    So l'm guessing it's not a wet kit? Wet kit is a plate. The wet kit bypass the carb an runs full on 7psi that the mechanical pump puts out with the nitrous when the solenoid hits. As for timing l ran mine at a solid 38btc without issues but my heads(exhaust guide and springs) and...

    Dent Pulling Advice

    If you haven't got a stud welder (which is unlikely) do you have a welder? If so try welding a steel rivet to it and pull it out with a pair of vise grips. It will take a little doing but work it from shallow's to deepest.

    Swapping tbi to carb 5.7 350

    Yes you'll need an inline fuel pump an regulator. I think if l remember right l swapped out the camshaft and bought an intake for it. I'm 100% sure on intake and 95% on the camshaft.

    383 stroker or LS Swap?

    I think it's really going to come down to your mechanical skills. You already have the 5.3 an component's to throw it in oooorr spend the money on stroker kit an a rebuild. Then there is how people feel about LS swaps vs sbc. Do you care what people think? I always do what l want but it can...

    HELP! TH350 bad shifting

    With that many miles on it take it back. Rebuilders offen change the clutch packs but cheap rebuilders never get involve with the pump other than quick look at it. Passing gear set up/adjustment has no effect on just cruising shifting, soo torque converter, pump, modulator r valve, modulator r...

    My 78’ Pontiac GP/SJ 454 build

    Well l'll throw my 2 cents in as l run a couple BBC. It's easier to make hp/tq with a BBC than SBC, it's more costly but well you already got the base to build on, you know $4000 go a long way and you can build it along the way an not just one shot. Also you'll never get the TQ out of a SBC Na...

    WELDER RECOMMENDATIONS

    The bigger the machine the more opinions you have welding. You'll need atleast a 140 wire feed an gas is nice, it also gives you more variety of wire that you can use. Flux core is pretty basic wire. They make wire that has special compounds for welding rusty metals. A 180 wire feed puts you...

    Man, I hate being broke!

    I'd love to say "well you should have wrapped it better" but l shouldn't talk as l got 6 girls. I thought when they left home that would be the end of the big dollar issues, ya NOT! Not even going to get into that can of worms! I will say l hope there 40's are more fruitful for them or l won't...

    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2019]

    Well l clipped the right side of the urethane bumper of my Camaro over winter storage so it's a good excuse to repaint the whole car an get even more gloss look. Been spending all my spare time sanding for it. Pic is of last year before l clipped it.

    Turbo 400 into a 1980 Trans Am?

    The 75 was actually a Formula, same think as TA but it was a 4 speed an full duals. So it didn't have the big pancake cat an had a double hump crossmember. I remember that l was looking into a 72 TA for the frames but 75 was cheaper. It was a big build, l bought just the cab rust free then...

    Turbo 400 into a 1980 Trans Am?

    The answer is yes! Front an rear unibody frames are the same in the years your talking about(70 to 81), an infact they share this with the Camaro's. My 78 Z-28 is using 75 Trans Am front an rear uni bodies, perfect fit. I've also had Th-350, Th-400 and now a 4l80e in mine. If l remember right...

    Bolt on hood scoop question

    Ya that's a pretty nice bolt on hood from VFN, it's steel reinforced in the center where the air ducts come down for the air filter. I used a drop filter with and open top filter on the BBC and it fits perfect as well. Expensive, l think it was around $1400cdn by the time it got here with...

    Bolt on hood scoop question

    I'm pretty sure you won't find the answer your looking for on a G-body forum, you'll need to hit up a Mopar forum for that answer. Please pick a different scoop, your going to get remarks from Mopar guys and g-body guys. The VFN W-30 hood are a very nice fit and finish on my 86.
