Chevrolet transporter
(Preview)
I worked on the truck for 3 days to get it ready to pull the trailer. I used it today to bring the '38 and '62 home from storage, south of Hastings. Nice to be able to haul them both in 1 trip, but I need another 250 lbs ft of torque for all this weight. Maybe a turbo 6.6 swap .. [URL=http://s1357.photobu...

66 glove box with accessory light question

I think this might be true for other chevy models like nova, camaro, and impala etc. The upper area of the glove box on the left side is different than the right side to allow for the light kit.

Does anyone know who stocks large quantities of metric nuts and bolts (like Fleet Farm has for their standard nuts and bolts)? Fleet Farm in Circle Pines and Menards in For...

How many members have gotten the car out of storage and started the engine in anticipation of the first spring drive?
(Preview)
Well today was to nice to wait any longer. I checked the carb and both bowls were dry. I disconnected the coil and turn the engine over for about 25 sec to pump the gas up and get the oil pressure up to operating pressure. I waited about 1/2 of a hour, pumped the accelerator one time, turned the key and the c...

My red neck engineering, but it got 'er done!

With all the snow melt, we had water up to the bottom of our sliding door in the basement walkout and surrounding the hot tub. The concrete pad does lean towards the house, so when we get a lot of rain, water pools there. Most of the roof melt was running down the deck to this area as well. I didn't want a gia...

BB oil pan gasket install using adhesive and guides for bolts video

It seem this video would recommend a cork gasket over the one piece rubber gasket and it uses spray adhesive to anchor the gasket to the block before installing the oil pan. What do you think about the procedure as well as using a 4 piece gasket as opposed to a 1 piece rubber gasket. I also looked at a vide...

2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ, any feedback?

I'm looking at a used 2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ for a bigger truck, and wondering if anyone has any good/bad knowledge about that year? I think some of you had a truck of this vintage. It does have close to 200K miles, so biggest concern is transmission life and if the LS engine needs a rebuild. It's hard...

FFR has a discussion forum similar to ours. It has been a valuable resource to me (and others) for an idea exchange, tips, tricks, and clarification while building one of these wacky cars.

How much more cooling is added when changing fan pitch from 27 degrees to 34.5 degrees?
(Preview)
Since I added AC last fall I am thinking that the 34.5 pitch fan will more a lot more air than the 27 degree blade. How much might just be a guess. I noticed the corvette fans available seem to indicate the the 34.4 pitch was used on AC cars. Maybe some of the other GM A body cars used a higher pitch on their a...
