    Automatic TH350 to TKX 5 spd swap parts list

    I am compiling a list for my 70 Cutlass S but similar will be needed for a G body. I plan on buying everything but the TKX this year. My 330 crank already has a pilot bushing installed. I will probably run the Holley dash for gauges and speedometer once the 5 spd is installed. Here is my list...

    Transmissions, automatic or manual, what actually hold up to decent power?

    So basically I am considering tracking down a truck Muncie 330 3 spd with the 3.03/1.75/1.1 and slightly deeper reverse for my 70S. A car tail shaft and input bearing retainer would needed along with a Hurst floor shifter. Good gear ratios to work with my planned 3.08 gears. They are supposed to...

    Holley Terminator X questions

    I see I can enable knock sensors, two different cooling fans, A/C, which I don't currently have. I have read you can exchange one of these and control lock up. I was considering the X Max but may go manual trans which would make the extra cost a waste. Does it need a VSS to control lock up? Not...

    Olds 330 crank and flex plate to 2004R

    The 330 crank has a manual trans bushing, it protrudes slightly. I wondering if it is interfering with the converter pilot. Pretty sure it is fully seated, can't fit a finger between the converter and the case on the pump side. There is a gap between the converter and flex plate. Any thoughts?

    Which knock sensor for a Holley Terminator X?

    I am going to be running one with the Terminator X on my rebuilt Olds 358. Is it best to run one from a 88 to 90 Olds 307 or something else, like say a mid 80's to 90's sbc? I know the TBI sensor threads right into the water drain like 307 model, LS have different threads. They have many years...

    Olds 358 build

    Since my old thread is closed after a year and a month, starting a new one. Of course the $2252.70 machine shop bill made this all possible but also left me too broke to get the new Edelbrock cylinder heads or finish the roller cam conversion. Going flat tappet, using the low mile 2.07"/1.56"...

    Which head gaskets?

    I am finally getting back my 358 short block tomorrow, a year and a month. I have 4 different sets to choose from. I am planning on using iron #6 heads and my Performer cam. One head is 62CC, the other 64cc, previous owner knicked a deck in storage and got one cleaned, why there is a variation...

    Installing an Amazon steering wheel?

    I hate the factory wheel on my 70S. I was looking at a well reviewed 5 bolt wheel and I am thinking the 5 bolt then to a 3 bolt adapter would be needed for $100 CAD. I like factory 4 spoke option but at $500 CAD for one, just too much. Anything I should watch out for?

    Anyone else have issues with these new intelligent battery chargers?

    So I bought a Dewalt a while back, I should have returned it right away, POS. Usually won't charge for more than 2 seconds. The latest one that won't charge properly is a Marine charger that is 2, 6 and 15 amp auto with 3 types of batteries. I picked up a brand new Walmart Marine battery. See...

    Aces Fuel Injection and aftermarket fuel Injection in general

    I see my YouTube videos plastered with these guys advertisements. What see is the cheap one is TBI and the more expensive one is TBI with timing control. I assume the same issues as FI Tech and thr Sniper. Thoughts on the latest "self tuning" efi? I know the comment has been made these TBI add...

    Plumbing SEFI on a modified Olds Performer RPM

    As you guys saw, I just got my RPM converted to SEFI. I couldn't really find anything searching online as far as plumbing the fuel lines. It looks like the line loops from side to side on the back. One in on the front, is the other return? I also had to relocate the heater nipple to the front...

    I'll be working on the Railroad

    Well, after after another frustrating year of making 50ish K. I saw both CP and CN Rail were hiring, double the money once trained. CP was supposed to hire me in October with $5000 bonus, last communication was Nov 17. They wouldn't answer my email or answer the phone or return messages. We are...

    Boosted 4 and 6 vs current gen V8's

    With many manufacturers turning to smaller motors in boosted form to out perform many current V8's and keep CAFE and Hippies happy, it seems like a good topic. We know the mileage gains are minimal and sometimes worse. But the EcoBoost are quick and tow. The new Hurricane Inline 6 from Dodge out...

    Deionized or Distilled water in a cooling system?

    So, I have used both before, no noticeable ill effects from either. I see Prestone mixes distilled water in their 50/50 coolant. Canadian Tire says Deionized water because they sell it. It is going in the big Autocity 2core aluminum rad which cools the 403 easily. Thoughts?

    2000 Dodge Dakota, making my Dodge less Dodgy😁

    Since Amazon can't send my CC507 springs for my 70S, despite having 6 in stock, it was Dodge time. First off I found #7 injector unplugged. Those Champion Truck Plugs made such a difference, I hardly noticed the miss, just felt down on power. That will no doubt help power, felt laggy. I ordered...

    The Olds 260 head is the worst flowing factory head?

    Check out the flow numbers at the end and much bigger than the factory 3.5" stock 260 bore size those numbers were achieved at! From the Mod Everything site on YouTube.

    Olds 358 build

    So my piston ring filer will be here shortly. I measured one of the file fit rings, only .006" gap! I need .020" or may another .003" top for future boost options and .0025" second and .010" minimum on the oil rails. I measured a couple of crank journals and used a snap gauge and micrometer...

    Piston ring filer

    Looking at picking up a reasonable priced hand crank model. Looking for something easy to use to set the ring gap on my 357 in the next couple of weeks. Thanks in advance.
