    factory intake?

    87-88 G bodies had centerbolt heads same as the trucks. they are ready for mechanical fuel pumps all you need to do is take the block off plate off and get a fuel pump pushrod. 4x4 trucks were also 4 bolt main as were HD, 3/4 ton, and 1 tons. also 4x4's had a windage tray. :D you can...

    a good 4 speed transmission

    whqt hitting a wall means is that the first to second shift is 'noticable' since the 700 has such a steep first gear. a 200r4 has the same gearing (except obviously fourth) as a th350 so it has a better chance of keeping you in the power band than a 700. also, 700's got stronger internals in...

    Fenders

    cross canada is actually a U.S. based company, and you can get the panels cheaper in the states than you can here in canada. for instance, i wanted to order a rear valence for my 68 charger and here in canada it was $422. through a friend who has a connection in the states it was $233. U.S...

    Fuel Gauge Not Working

    if your gauge moves to empty when the key is turned to power your gauge is fine, if it has power and its sitting on empty or lower its the power wire, if it pegs way past full then its the ground. this is how all gauges except the tach can be troubleshot, if they are electrical. hope this...

    Jacobs Ignition

    i dont see why not, the jacobs is not that far behind msd. in fact i have read some articles and flyers and jacobs seems to be a better street car ignition cause you get just about everything that an msd has and its cheaper.

    which block correct for 87 monte

    sorry i forgot to mention that, i dont run a/c in my car so i always forget to mention it. :oops: you can use the newer one from a truck/car (preferably the same vehicle you get all the other parts from. RedHotRegal, the setup GM sells is the EXACT same one you can pirate from a truck...

    Need a quick answer!!

    i think it was a max of 35hp loss with a 400, and a second gear burnout will put more of a load on the transmission and cause more heat which is a trannys worst enemy. shifting to second in a burnout is no different than shifting while driving, just that theres not as much air flowing through the...

    what is the bolt pattern for g bodies

    all gm rwd cars are the same bolt pattern, save for the 91+ B bodies, these are truck bolt pattern and obviously the vega nonzas which were four bolt they were the same as chevettes.

    Would this nitrous kit work well w/ a mildly built olds 350?

    i thought i read somewhere a long time ago about those kits not being as effective as a plate type setup. i could be wrong and after seeing a few injected cars throttle bodies freeze cause the nozzle was too close to them, i would shy away from that type anyway. nitrous is pretty damn cold and...

    eaton govlok

    they are definatelly better than no posi at all, but they are not the best by far. i have one of those in my 4x4 and when it goes posi i feel cool, but when you smash on it and start to slide around a corner and all you get is the old one wheel peel i feel like a loser trying to look cool. lol...

    Need a quick answer!!

    theres some trannys that have a universal monting pattern....AKA both patterns. like the th200r4's do. if theres anyone in ontario that needs a BOP th350 i have one on a 400 the can have. i need to take it off to put the original th400 from my GTO on so i can put my drivetrain back together.
