I put the Toyota 22RE in my Mercury PU for this reason. If I was just driving highway a stock 305 chev would be fine. My Dad's old 88 caprice would 30 mpg highway all day. Around town was a different story. Since I figured I was going to do a bunch of in town or short drives I went with...
Sad to see but I can understand how it can happen. I followed an another car into the Syracuse Nats and almost hit him. Couldn't hardly see his brake lights. He had the smallest set of billet brake light I have ever seen. Could barely tell tell if they were on or off. Wandering through the show...
Yep I'll be there. Been looking forward to this show for a long time now that I have something to show. I will be there Saturday morning, if all goes well and they let me cross the border in my rat rod.:D

I used to like GM, them I worked in one of their dealerships for a while. After working in both import and domestics dealerships as a mechanic I can tell who treats the techs better. (It's...
This is the only picture I have right now of the reversed vega box. Wasn't hard to do. I didn't bother with pictures when I did it, would have taken to long. I think I only spend an hour or so doing it.
If your going to reverse your box make sure you can set the back lash properly when you...
Yep can be done. You will have to remove end cap and machine a hole in it for the seal and shaft. then get a frost plug for the other end. Works good, I did it for my truck
