    "The Highway Hauler"

    It has the same 3rd gear ratio as the SM465, so you aren't changing anything in that sense.

    "The Highway Hauler"

    You know whats changed in the last 20 years? Everything has overdrive. I have an SM465 in my truck. It doesn't care for modern highway speeds. Get a trans with overdrive, NV4500 or 700R4. Keep your gear ratios and tire sizes if they are moderate.

    1975 C20 big rear hubs with dog dish hubcaps?

    You need the right hub caps. 8 lug 16 inch rims use the ones with 6 "spokes". 6 lug 15 inch rims use the 5 spoke hub cap. 16 inch: 15 inch:

    Deformable LED Garage lights anyone?

    The thing that makes these nice, is you can adjust where it throws light. Want a wide area covered, open it up. Want a spotlight effect, close it down.

    Deformable LED Garage lights anyone?

    I was just talking to an electrician at work yesterday about relamping my garage with LED's. He recommended that style of lights. He's a big fan of them.

    Fuel Tank Selector Valve Leaking

    I bought the AC Delco valve from Rockauto, it was a drop in replacement. As stated, replace the hoses since you're there. I believe they are 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8

    Engine oil cooler installation

    Agreed. Another nice thing with OEM is you can get gaskets for it at the local parts peddlers.

    Engine oil cooler installation

    I don't think it does. I had mine off last summer but I didn't look real close at it.

    2 or 4 bolt mains

    Cast crank 2 bolt main in my original 454. You really can't tell without looking at the mains. The same casting numbers were used on both 2 and 4 bolt blocks.

    700r4 rebuild time, advice?

    Last trans I built was a 46RE for my old Dodge, I used a PATC rebuild kit with Red Eagle clutches and Kolene steels. I was happy with it. Here's their 700R4 kit: https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/700r4-master-rebuild-kit-with-an-8-clutch-red-eagle-power-pack/

    Stroker Kits - Rotating Assemblies - Better Brands?

    It spun a rod bearing and the jackwad put a pipe wrench on the snout. So it isn't really worth fixing.

    Stroker Kits - Rotating Assemblies - Better Brands?

    I have an eagle stroker crank that needs turned (BBC). I called the guys at Borowski Race Engines about turning and balancing, and the guy basically said throw it in the garbage and buy a Callies crank. I'm going to listen to him.

    Who makes the best dash pad?

    "Makes" not "Made"

    Painting Steel Bumpers

    Paint it. Epoxy primer will protect metal from moisture, rattle can/urethane/self etching primers will not.
