Re: victor jr on 421 sbc
If hood clearance is not a problem, I would get a intake that will fit the application. Maybe a Holley 300-25 or Edebrock super victor. I think your app will like a manifold upgrade.

Re: Oil Pan Seals & Sealant - Anyone use just silicone?
Hi John. I like the Fel-Pro perma dry gaskets best. But if I were to go silicone only I would use Permatex (The Right stuff) and put together wet.

Re: 10" faster than 8" ?
One thing that I have learned was, not to go cheap on your torque converter because this is the heart of your combination. If your motor doesn't have anything good to transport the power too, then it just isn't going to happen. With this in mind, is the company that you got to make your custom 8&qu...

Re: Why is alternator heating up?
Could your polarity be reversed? Battery charge backward? Is the 555 back in or just a converter change?

Re: i have a newbie suspension question
Take your index finger, stick it strait-out, knuckle at your hand is piviot piont, mid knuckle is shock, finger tip is your wheel. Move your finger up and down and you will see why there is more travle at wheel than shock. Simple , but easy to understand.
