    I see a Jeep poking it's nose out there, too!

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    I will say that my fiancé has a new Subaru Ascent. I do like driving it as it has all the cruise control comforts like automatically slowing down when you come up behind a car. It will steer you back in your lane if you wander. I don't really like that feature. It's great for road trips and...

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    I recently rode with my sister in her new Kia. The entire dash was one flat screen! All the way from the drivers door to about where the passenger seat starts. Pretty wild, but not something I'd like to look at all the time.

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    I guess I wouldn't mind seeing a newer Challenger in my driveway! Hope you like it. My uncle was a die-hard Chevy guy until he rode in a Challenger. Now, he owns one!

    Random picture thread

    The other day I went to Auto Zone to get a blower motor. They said, "Sorry it's out of stock. We can have it middle of next week. But if you pay $8 more we'll have it tomorrow for you." WTF!!! Fine, here's your 8 bucks.

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    So, by modern I mean one controlled by computers. With the exception of an ignition control module. I know I'm a rare breed, only 48 years old. But, all my vehicles are old school! My newest is a 1984 CJ 7 with a Weber carb and GM HEI ignition. I drive that every day for work. My '71 C-10...

    Meet Anika Nilles, RUSH's New Drummer

    That is great news they are keeping it up! I'm sure they will be sure to stay a long ways away from Fargo, though.

    440 rebuild difficulty 1-10

    You need to check everything on the new heads as well. I bought new Stealth heads and the chrome was flaking off one of the valve stems. It never would have been seen if the heads hadn't been taken apart. 440 Source sent a me a new valve free of charge. The only way you will know exactly...

    "Breaking in Big Block"

    What do you mean by you're surprised at what the oil looks like? A new filter and oil is never a bad idea. You can cut the old filter open and see if there is anything nasty in there.

    440 rebuild difficulty 1-10

    I just built my first 440. Buying a stroker kit from 440 Source made it alot easier. I'm not saying it was easy as I used a lot of after market parts and had to make sure they all worked together. I bought a bore- gauge, set of micrometers, a burette and I'm sure a few other specialty tools. I...

    440 build

    The little crescent moon shaped pieces are what B3 makes to relocate the rocker arm shaft. They make your rocker arm at a 90 degree angle to the valve stem at the mid-point of valve lift. Mine had to be shifted up and in but every build is gonna be a bit different.

    440 build

    If you're going with aftermarket rockers, you're most likely going to have to alter the rocker arm geometry. I had a set of Harland Sharpe and a set from Hughes when I built my 440. The Harland ones are taller and will hit the baffle in the valve cover before the Hughes ones will. I went with...

    Do YOU go 3 or more days between showers ???

    I think my record is 16 days without a shower! But, I was in the boundary waters trapping wolves. I was with 3 women and when we got back to the cabin there was a note on the table that said, "No water, wating on a plumber." Oh, man! That sucked! We called a campground and they let us go use...

    The 512 is painted!

    This thing is finally orange! The paint came from Frank Badalson and I only hope it holds up as good as it looks. 'Cause it looks awesome! I had to use a different reducer than recommended. The paint shop could only order it by the gallon and I needed an ounce or two. He just gave me a reducer...
