    My teenager's first small block build

    I'm actually going to start her in my Corvette at the track this season while we are working on this build. It isn't very fast, runs low-mid 14's @~ 95 all day long. But leaves straight and true every time and will be a great car for her to learn on. Our local track allows passengers in...

    What is the best oil viscosity to run in a 292 Inline-six with high miles?

    I don't do it personally, but years ago, I knew a few people that ran conventional diesel oils such as 15w40 Rotella T or Mobil Delvac for their higher zinc levels. Now that most of the diesel oils have gone through marked changes in recent years, I can't comment on if those zinc levels are...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    It is actually funny at this point. I couldn't describe it any better. In fact, I brought my father with me today and we were actually laughing at how ridiculous the entire experience was this morning. Here's a guy who is almost 80 and has been buying and selling stuff since the late '50's...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    I had a somewhat comical experience today looking at what turned out to be my latest wild goose chase. I was given the name of a guy selling a G-Body roller by a mutual friend. Was told the price, or at least what I thought was the price, in advance and arranged a time to meet this morning to...

    Wanted: 1979 Copper/Brass Radiator

    I definitely want it and I so appreciate your effort to go through the leg work for me. Once you get it, if you can find a way to get it boxed up and shipped, I will be happy to cover those costs. If that isn't possible, then we will go through the process with Mike. Again, I thank you so...

    Wanted: 1979 Copper/Brass Radiator

    I am in western PA approx 45min south of Pittsburgh, about equal distance from Morgantown WV. I also have in laws in Binghamton NY, just north of Scranton PA. One of my best friends also lives in Newark NY, not far from Rochester. That would be an option also if we couldn't meet anywhere...

    Wanted: 1979 Copper/Brass Radiator

    Just as a clarification, I am really looking to find an original manual transmission radiator due to the originality of my truck and trying to keep it as close as possible to that condition. I am hopeful that my factory radiator can be repaired. But, I am looking for a backup just in case...

    Copper/Brass radiator wanted for a 1979 manual trans, non AC C10 with a 305. All that I have been able to find locally have the provisions for the auto trans cooling and I really want to find one from a manual trans truck if possible. Thanks Midnightmoon

    What new tools have you got lately?

    That's really cool. I have absolutely no application that I would ever need one. But, now I want one.....LOL

    What new tools have you got lately?

    It's not too often that I can honestly say that I've never seen something before. I have to admit that this is a new one for me.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I'm certainly not going to disagree with you.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    The Snap guy that stops by the shop consistently complains about how much his sales have dropped since the HF stores opened locally. He didn't give any specific #'s, but he is complaining how even the professional technicians now have a variety of "Pittsburgh" tools in their box.

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    His truck is a CP3. The VP-44 ended in the Dodge application in 2002. For the VP-44 trucks, fuel pressure was very important as mentioned above. Not so much on the Common Rail CP3 trucks. They will only see about 9psi at idle and can drop to 5-6 psi under load all day long with no issue...

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    The last 53 blocks rolled off the line in the 2001 model year. I had a June 2000 built '01 that had a 53 block. Little additional trivia, there were also quite a few 1998 12-valves that were also 53 blocks. We had one years ago at the shop that was cracked just like the 24's.

    Carb'ed vortec looking for info and opinions

    Absolute wrong side of the country for you, but there is a carbed Vortec 350 on our local Craigslist for cheap. But, shipping would be 3x more than it is worth.

    That wouldn't surprise me in the least with mine.

    My teenager's first small block build

    Well, I dropped the block off at the machine shop today. Engines stacked up in there like cord wood. I've never used this shop before but they come highly recommended. By the amount of work that they have there, they must be popular. High end stuff in there also. That's good to see. They...
