Excellent idea. The bearing drag would be nearly silent and the caliper drag would make noise. Maybe that could help without even taking the...
was it a conversion from drums? If so, did you remove the residual pressure valve?
They're actually cheapy parts store plastic mirrors and I think the grille color is just from a poorly taken picture. I think the heavy sun made...
I've had drag racing on my mind since I bought my 74. Plans are in the works :)
Its a buddy's car. He bought it for $500 a few years ago and then lost interest after the problems got too time consuming. He told me he was...
Are you making fun of the previous owner's Kmart specials? He paid $9.99 for those. Maybe I'll use them as parts trays :D
The method you speak of, scotty, is great for mild cams. Once you get into extra duration or different LSA, you can't count on it anymore. I...

OK, you asked for pics :) Its a bit rough but rock solid. All but two of the panels are very straight. The hood and driver's fender is a bit...
A minor correction if you'll permit; ping is most prominent at highest load, not RPM. Its when the flame front hammers the inside of the...
Look up a few replies. That's where I got the idea. :) I don't know anything about Ford rears, that's why I asked. I'm putting together some...
Thanks for the advice. I didn't mean to hack someone else's thread but it seemed like a waste to start a new one. The mav I got will be a...
I guess all this info begs the questions; how much torque will a built 8" take? and which 9" is the narrowest to get close to a Mav's width?
I'm trying to follow along, but I'm confused. Above, bluegrass says, "For the least fabbing, the 9" with discs or the later Explorer 8.8 with...
A lovely day to all. Name's Curtis. My buddy and I are avid car crafters for many years and we're both very technically oriented, but know very...
