I'll skip to the conclusion and tell you what they'll tell you: if you want to keep stock gears and have some longevity, dial back your power goal to 450 hp max and never touch that 600 level. If not, it's a PAR or PPG gear set, which will total...

Anyone who's been around a shop fire knows that one minute everything seems fine, right before an angry fire breaks out.By the time you get your extinguisher, the fire has had a head start. That's why it's important to have an extinguisher...
So....I got my daily truck running to where I want it to be. I have a couple mods I want to do this year to hopefully get it into the single digits. It's pretty crazy to think about it as it is 100% street truck.Now, I am focusing my...
They're fine as long as you make sure the gears that the axles slot into are chamfered to enable the clip to slide, and that you replace the Belleville washers inside with pieces that won't break.
Took it for the first drive yesterday. Although only a few miles everything went well. No crazy noises and no puddles under it LOL. Today I decided to wash it up and give it a quick detail.
Fixed the problem areas on an OBX LSD for my Neon. I was surprised to find one of these Neon/420A LSDs for sale from a wholesaler in 2023, couldn't really say no at $400 when the alternative is $900. The issues with the OBX are the fact that it...

Edit: I hadn't refreshed this tab in a while and see I was beaten to it. Oh well, you can't have too many Rock Auto codes.
Bare shell resto would be at least two more years. I could have it on the road next summer, but it's a bit silly to install a whole car's worth of brand new hardware and refreshed parts, just to put them on a chassis that needs work, and...
Back at it today! Had some time to kill with the holiday so I drove out and did some more wrenching. The transfer case is back in and the driveshaft no longer drags on the ground, which is a win for transport.Then came some further testing...
Ok, I found more WAYBACK pictures that I had been looking for.
1971 Camaro SS 350, 2 600 Holleys, Comp Cam, 10:1 with 3:73's. Ran 13.2's in street trim.
1970 Chevelle SS - 350, 4 speed, 4:11's. Never had her to the track. A friend of mine got...
Thanks for sharing the info! I ended up going with the Kirkey Road Race aluminum seat because it was the narrowest one I could find, and it barely fit. The previous owner installed a welded drag roll bar that fit around his Kirkey drag race seat...
Spring is here (ish), which let me move the Evo out from its out-of-town, climate-controlled storage, and into the shop on the other side of the building. The first priority for today was to get the transmission into the car, so that the car can...
Eight years after buying the big boy IWG EFR turbo, and three years after getting the hot parts kit from Morrison Fab to make it work. I’ve picked up a low-profile wastegate actuator to tuck the canister as much as possible. It’s probably not...
#1 do not do while rebuilding engine: Smoke crack.#2: don’t use a roloc disk on the surface of the block. Use a plastic razor blade to remove the old gasket material.#3: don’t do meth either.
