Run the manufacturers ratings and don’t worry about wear or any of the other problems you will eventually have with doing something different. I have a friend that owns a tire shop and have hauled race trailers prolly 500k miles in my life and have seen every problem you could have. Get them...

I have a 1959 BMW R 26 that my dad bought new that has never been out of our family.

Turbo plumbing is pretty expensive even on the cheap and you need an exhaust system built for it too. 600rwhp will tear up a transmission (and a rear end) and minimal trans parts only (clutch pack, seals, etc) are gonna run 6-700 for something decent and then you have to build it. Everyone has...

While I respect your opinion you left a lot of parts out of that to go turbo and put some very low numbers in there imho. There is no plumbing for the turbo, exhaust, trunion upgrade, lifters, gaskets, rings, etc. If we could all build 600rwhp for that number it wouldn't make sense to build...

Forced induction. Be sure that the bottom end is solid. Fresh boost pistons , gapped rings, etc. , heads redone, small boost numbers, new fuel pump system and it will stay together unless you hammer it mercilessly. N/A is gonna be way more expensive imho to make that power at the wheels. I had...

Work and opportunity sent me from Lincoln NE to Dallas TX as a 20 year old trying to make my way in the world. 2 months ago I retired and completed the cycle and moved to a place that doesn’t even have a stop light or a mail carrier (population 1354). For me the big cities I lived in (Dallas...

First start up of my 87 pro touring elcamino build. Really happy with the sound and the look

Not sure what they used in your picture but here is my 87 Elco and sizes info: frame notch, Ford 9” (stock width), QA1 coil overs, billet specialties 19x10.5 with 305-35-19 Michelin pilot sports and custom 5.6” backset. The front is coil overs, 2” drop spindles and 18x8 billet specialties with...

John I am building a pro touring car so pretty much nothing is stock. There are several companies that sell brackets to relocate the accessories if you need to. I am running a Holley Hiram and a glastek 5” Sunoco hood so I didn’t have and clearance issues. Once the motor was my biggest...

I used all Muscle rods stuff putting an LS3 into my 87 SS Elco. I have told many people the best advice I can give anyone is go with a single fit (mounts, headers, etc) solution to make sure everything is going to work together instead against one another. I have been on both sides of that...

$150 shipped to me. I got a dash from him rather than sending him mine. Same price with shipping figured in

MacIntosh 275, it def does the job...driving Klipschorn’s with it

30 days

In a uhaul sport utility box wrapped in plastic and then very well packaged. It came out looking perfect.

After being on a waiting list for almost a year and no end in sight waiting a for a reproduction dash I went searching for another way. My El Camino build is a full on pro touring car so I needed something really nice for it. I wasn't going to put a nasty or so so looking dash in a car i already...

I wanted to follow up on this post and let everyone know with the help of one of our forum sponsors (Dixie restorations) I was able to locate someone that pulls these dashes from the junk yard (or you can ship him yours) and strips them, resprays the foam and shapes them and then wraps them in...

pretty hard to beat this for what I wanted to do. Here it is sitting under my El Camino with a notched frame, billet specialties wheels and 305-35-19' rears on it. Build sheet and cost also for reference. That price was shipped to my door

I bought a 9” with an Eaton trutrac, 31 spline axles and 3:70 gears (I could have gotten any ration at the same price). Yukon modular housing and everything new (even all the housings). Quick performance built it as a direct bolt in for my gbody elcamino at a cost of $3200 with wilwood brakes...

Thanks. I got one of the Borgesons but the opening is way bigger that that. Ididit says use the mount for a 71-80? Camaro but they are sold out of them. I got one from flaming river I am taking to the shop tomorrow too. I also got out my cutoff saw and cut the one off my factory steeering column...

It’s from top speed engineering. It’s a pretty straight forward plug in replacement that moves the shifter to the floor too. I called idit (I thought that’s what it was until I just had the shop look and tell me) and the guy was the biggest prick ever. He gave me a part number but when I looked...
