That's the main reason for moving si...

Possible locations for electric oil sensor on Chevy 350
(Preview)
I have been looking at gauges as I just have the lights. I want to keep those functioning. Water sensor will go in the drivers side head. Voltmeter will go to battery. That leaves the oil pressure sensor. I don't want some kind of mess around the rear block standard location. But maybe that’s the o...

gorgeous 1965 Chevelle seen at SEMA
(Preview)
This car has been around a couple years, but I got to see it in person last week. It is absolutely magnificent. In the video he mentions a few things, but look at the door jambs, where the fenders meet the cowl, and the quarter to tail area. So many little things were changed. https://mothers.com/blogs/...

Frame swap
(Preview)
Late model dodge 4x4 crew cab dually. We usually only use 2 hoists, however, was easier to just hang the drivetrain on one and roll frames around. Hopefully just a few days, superceded frame so waiting for a few brackets, but should not prevent progress. Sorry for misfire on media blaster air line hook...

66 dual snorkel air cleaner assembly
(Preview)
Trying to find out if this will fit a 350 SB with a 4160 Holley with a 66 winters intake. Not sure how the closed vent tube will line up with the valve cover vent hole, clearance with the hood, or accelerator rod. I also have a 3/8” insulator for the Holley carb.

Which option do you like?

Well I test fitted my BB air cleaner assembly on the SB this morning.nn looks like everything will work for a closed system with a 3“ filter and cover just like my 66 BB. The other option I am looking at is a dual snorkel cover with a 66 base. I can probably run a pcv to the oil fill tube or the drivers side val...

Shift Linkage for 66 column to 2004R OD Trans
(Preview)
Has anyone done this or helped someone? The only think I've found so far is a universal kit from Shiftworks. It just a rod that you bend with a bracket for the trans and a bend to hook up to the column. I didn't find anything on the Loker site. classic-performance-products-universal-column-kit
