I take my aluminum stuff to my coater, where they blast it, then polish in a giant tumbler that is used for ceramic headers. A couple minutes tumbling, and VIOLA`....looks almost OEM.
Too long, and it gets almost polished like the ceramic coating.
I thought about doing just that but have to think the original motor is unlikely to still be around when somebody wants to swap it back in, best to stay in the car if possible.
Hi everyone,
I finished restoration on my 1973 Satellite RR clone about 20+ years ago. At the time, I bought a set of Crager SS wheels in 16" diameter. I bought a set of General XP 2000 tires to go with the wheels. 275/55 R16 in the rear, 255/55 R16 in the front. Well, 20 years later, my...
Thanks. I am only asking about this as I am trying to learn, and would like to address a fume smell. That vapor canister looks like it has enough volume to do that (condense), but my first question is, would that exit out that 5th unused vent in the vapor canister? and if not, my second question...
That makes total sense, so if I'm already swapping pistons and rods, not sure swapping out the original crank for a stroker is all that big a deal at that point. I'll keep whatever comes out of the motor if somewhere down the road someone wants to rebuild to more original specs. Thx
No, the pistons would be for a non-stroker 383 since I have to believe the cylinders need to be cleaned up after sitting for so long. That's good info on the Icon vs Diamond pistons, thx. So if this were your motor and you had the parts I have today would you go with a 432 or 489 stroker? I...
I’m not sure what heads they are I took a picture of the numbers on them but don’t know if they’re really any good or not as far as performance. They’ve got the numbers 4008457 stamped into them though. If I had to guess they’re probably truck or motorhome heads considering it had a passenger...
By your numbers it definately could use the offset bushings. I have shortened my strut rods 3/8". Its had zero negative effect. Mine runs poly lower and strut bushings. Been 1.24 60ft off the foot brake on 10.5's

Aftermarket A/C systems can have little challenges, and sometimes you can find nicer vents and stuff. I added some A/C stuff to my friend's car, while doing the 6.4 swap. I had already added the air when it had the gen-II hemi in it. Some of the aftermarket parts can be generic and a little...
I was looking at a Belvedere II a while back and thinking to myself that "those tubs are HUGE". But being a " body, the measurements should be the same as any other B body of that vintage. Also, the II isn't a very popular model so I wouldn't be taking people's "guesses" as gospel, pull a wheel...
