    Transmission help

    The early 4l60 is a 700r4 if it has a cable which could be early 90's. The 4l60E is electronic. You can get the numbers off the right rear side on the pan rail. Decifer the code and it will give you the year it is. Early 700r4's had a 27 spline shaft and the later ones had 30 spline shaft. The...

    Edelbrock carb..anybody run one?

    I guess I am like everyone else. I had always ran Holleys on my drag and street cars. Edelbrock had a special a couple of years ago for a dual 4 intake, 2 600 carbs, air cleaner and other small parts. I finally talked myself into trying the Edelbrock carbs and have very pleased. They were good...

    How good on gas is your rat rod????

    Don't have a speedo or gas guage but I watch how many miles I drive and near as I can tell it is between 5 and 6. I built it to go. 454, dual 4's, 4l60 with convertor and 4:10 gears. Only a 12 gallon tank so I have to watch close and carry extra gas. I have ran out and even when it was raining...

    Redneck Rumble get-together (Lebanon, TN)

    I think it was almost twice the size as last year. I know I seen entry numbers in the 1700 range and they were still coming in. Cars, swap meet all were great!! I know I ran both batteries for my camera down taking pics. Lots of cool rides.

    700r4 4x4 into a 2 wheel drive????

    A 4x4 trans will have to be gutted and the correct parts installed for the output shaft. Another thing to keep in mind is on a corvette trans you will run into the same thing because the total length is shorter and you would need a longer driveshaft. Also not much of a problem but some of the...

    sbc aluminum heads? affordable or headache?

    I have bought stuff from Skip White and had no problems. As far as the Pro Comp heads they did have a bad rap for awhile but in the last couple of years they have came around very well. I have not used the small block heads but have a set of oval port big block Pro Comp heads. When I got them I...

    HELP! Any risk to day driver when jumping

    New cars are different and a big pain to me. My wife has a Chevy HHR Panel truck and it wouldn't start one day. It was still under warranty but I just jumped it and it would then crank but would not start. Found a fuse blown so I replace it and it then started but the check engine light stayed...

    TiredIronGRB's '30 Model A Coupe

    Pin striping really set it off. Set of vintage style cheaters would look cool. Really turned out nice.

    Free credit report??

    Credit card companies do this too. The credit cards you have do a credit check on you sometimes once a month. Also credit card companies that want to give you a credit card do the same thing. You can also lock your credit report thru the 3 credit places. The bad thing about that is if you go to...

    Top Secret engine build for an RRR member. SSHHH!!

    Actually the ovals ports are your best bet for a strong street runner. Square ports are nice but unless you are going for all out upper rpm power the ovals work better. Even the peanut ports can be cleaned up in the runners and will make decent (not the best) power for a good street engine. I...

    Magazine Cover

    Congrats!!! Hope you make it. To me any kind of deal to get some recognition is big. My Panel truck was in a mag under reader submissions and I was really excited as much as if it was a feature article.

    How much did you pay for fuel today ??$$??$$

    $3.19 is what I filled up for here yesterday. But that is for E-85. I loose a couple of mpg but the way regular unleaded is right now it is worth it. Have not really sit down and figured but as near as I can tell E 85 has to be around .30 a gallon cheaper to be worth getting. Right now it is .80...

    The "new" Sears policy?

    Being in the truck industry for the last 35 years I have a little bit of everything. Snap on, Mac, Matco, Craftsman. I don't have a problem with Sears exchanging or rebuilding a ratchet. The tool trucks do it also. The problem I have with it is I took a 3/8 long ratchet back to sears and I would...
