What have you done to your square lately??
5” drop front (2.5 drop spindle, 2.5 drop spring), 6” drop rear with a standard flip kit. Tires are 255/60/15 front, 275/60/15 rear. Thanks for the compliment bud! -
Painting rally wheel rim
Wagon wheels would be a candidate if I ever wanted to stay with 15” but wanted to run something else besides rallies. Specifically the ones that came on the sport truck trim.- ChuckN

Pretty tired after a family trip, so I decided to do something quick and fun today- put on the new center cap emblems for the rally wheels since the old originals were faded to complete silver. Nice to have little mini projects for when the energy level is low. -

Please Help me save some paint. Wax coating, what to use,etc
I’m cringing posting this because I talk way too much about Vice Grip Garage- but he does have Shine Juice for this (like Poppy’s Patina) and also has some nicer more permanent patina protector products that are more expensive but you can choose your level of shine from matte, satin or gloss...- ChuckN

Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.
If you’re looking for new stock lower control arms, last time I looked, LMC had the license for them and that’s the only place you’ll find them. Upper control arms are easy to find. It’s one reason I went with CPP lower control arms.- ChuckN

Chevy 305 heads
Cool find. Would those have been off of something like a mid-late 80s Iroc-Z or something like that?- ChuckN

Keep us posted. Your truck has a solid build so might not be so damning. Hey, where’s that canopy? Looks good without it too of course. -
Valve seals for camel hump heads?
Thanks Craig! Taking the Family to Disneyland this weekend and working until then- I’ll get back after this topic soon. I’m definitely going to check out that website!- ChuckN

@bucket in re-reading your post, that makes sense and I’d bet there were some 4-bolt 327s. And since they used that same block (likely) for the DZ302, it’s likely that they were 4-bolt too for that performance application.- ChuckN

Good question- block says mid 70s. But it is a four bolt main, saw it myself when I changed the pan gasket. I’m not sure if they ever made a 4-bolt 327.- ChuckN

Hooker small block manifolds
@bucket I’ve never seen this on a GM vehicle, but in all my years of working on VWs they were extremely common and reliable. And they always came off easily too.- ChuckN
