    "J" heads advantage?

    I found a pr of small block J heads for sale and I'm wondering if there's any performance to be gained over my stock '76 360 heads. For the price ($200/pr) I'm assuming stock 1.88" intake valves, although the ad does say they've been ported. Without an in-person look-see I have no idea how much...

    Another Small Block Build Advice Post...

    ...there's others on here, and I've read most of em, but figured another one couldn't hurt, right. That's what we're here for. Besides, the newest one I've read was from 2012. I've got a running 76 360 in my Cordoba that I want to rebuild. I'm hoping for a rings-and-bearings job, timing set...

    Low Oil Pressure Q&A

    I recently had an intake gasket failure that put water into my oil. Following some suggestions I got here one FBBO I doused the heads and lifter valley with clean diesel fuel until it ran clear-ish out of the oil pan drain, buttoned it up, added oil and a filter, and ran it for about 10 min...

    We Have a Breach...and it really, REALLY sucks

    I installed new FelPro intake (and valve cover) gaskets yesterday and followed thier admonishments to install them dry w just a little hi-tack adhesive on the cork end-rails and a 1/4" bead of rtv in the corners. This is the first time I've actually used the cork end pieces, and the first time...

    CC speedo cable replacement.

    When I removed my non-functional cruise control I figgered swapping the two piece speedo cable with a new one piece unit would be a cinch. Uh...nope. The tranny end is a totally different deal and there's no way (that I can tell) to modify either the trans or the cable to work. I could expand on...

    Whats spinning and whats not in N?

    Does the tq converter spin in N? I think that's a "yes", but don't know for certain. Does the driveshaft? What about while rolling at, say, 45mph? If you go from D to N does the driveshaft keep spinning, freewheel, or just stop? How 'bout if I just throw it in P while I'm driving down the...

    Trans mount: Opinions on brands?

    Ive been getting a weird vibration lately and I'm almost positive its from after the engine itself. I made a post with more details in the General Tech area, but I KNOW my trans mount is trashy so replacing it is on the agenda whether it's causing my viibration or not. RockAuto stocks two...

    B&M sez Type F (?)

    Reading through the installation instructions for the B&M shift improver kit I just got, I noticed that they recommend Type F trans fluid. Well, first they recommend THEIR fluid. THEN the specify Type F over Type A or Dexron. Too late to call their tech-line then, and its the weekend now. But...
