Would it be better to use stock size stainless valves or put 2.02 and 1.6 valves in them? This is gonna be a street/strip truck. Any help would ne thankful We put a 383 wi...

The heavy cargo coils will lift the rear and the car might have too much rake making it harder to transfer weight. I would use what you have until you get to the track and do some testing. If you have nothing at all rear drag springs are available maybe try those.

Or you could fly out here to PA and help me install a new converter in my car and then after the front end gets painted you can help me install all the parts back on the car. Now if that doesn't get things started up, I don't know what will :thumb: Now get back to working on that car dude! That's a...

But that the horn will not work and the turn signal cancelation mech. will not work. I have the Grant one and they are right none of the...

Thanks again any info ya'll want to give will be helpful. 8-) You need a cam that works with YOUR combination...

I'm wanting to build an engine for my 85' chevy truck. I would like the build an engine for street/strip, I have a 3503"billet bored. 030"over but can't decide if it would be best to leave it like that or stroke it as a 383? I'm wanting to run a bracket race. But what I'd like to know is ...

I agree - I wonder if the replacement pads, the padded ones that replace the OEM ones totally - if they are steel or plastic underneath? The full replacements Ive used are urethane there is no metal, at least on 68-69 Chevelles,71 Chevelle,67-72 Chevy trucks,74 E body Mopars and early Camaro's anyw...

FWIW on my old (really old) 454 advancing the cam 4* moved my peak power about 300 rpm lower. The cars 60 ft, et ,and mph was the same.
