everything bolt on is not bolt on...

[sleepar]

Is there any aftermarket brand discloses the mods you have to make or is " bolt on " just because bolts are used.... what am I missing...

Nature of the beast sleepar....Much better refurbishing OEM stuff if possible. If you think "bolt on" aftermarket stuff is bad, try dabbling in aftermarket body panels. Real treat slicing into $1100 quarters to make them actually fit correctly.

You bought an old mopar.... bolt on is no longer an option. If you want bolt on go buy a chebby and go to pep boys.

This has been my experience for my entire life.

He said "go to Pep Boys".....that's funny!!!

I read a quote saying "the more expensive the part, the less likely it will fit", or something like that....

I am having some success in aftermarket mods... but you really earn it... I'm rebuilding the factory stuff and will save my OEM stuff if/or when the aftermarket crap runs out...

I kinda like it when parts need a little massaging to work. Keeps the riff raff out of the hobby. That, or helps specialty shops to prosper.

Sometimes parts simply bolt on, and sometimes you have to use nuts as well.

In the Jeep world bolt on means you do not need to be a welder and you can do the job with hand tools
And yes most stuff need to be worked on

If you want to learn the true meaning of bolt on, build a 9 second race car!

..... at least I'm not alone..... I'm from the old school where you're word means something... Vic edelbrock used to be a solid name.... now just another one in the crowd... I HATE TO SAY THAT!.... some of these brands really earned it and one generation later is all about spread sheets and totals.... 100% pure shame.

And most is now off shore junk with brand names

Hell, I had to open up the bolt holes on an aluminum water neck from 440source... even that wasn't bolt on!
