    Engine Pro parts?

    Anybody have anything to say about Engine Pro brand parts? Can't say I have ever really paid attention to them. My first impression is they make a lot of the parts used in rebuild kits and stuff like that. I am asking mainly because I saw a CL ad for roller rockers. Wasn't sure if would be...

    Aftermarket steering wheels

    I have that in my Monte. I really like it too!

    And I completely agree. But that is the whole reason behind the years list that someone was talking about earlier.

    A flat tappet cam will physically work in the roller blocks, you just need the correct lifters to go with it.

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    If you really want a budget pair of headers, Summit has some long tubes for $120. I would go that route way before cheap eBay ones. The summit ones would be an improvement over manifolds.

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    Even after all the house keeping stuff is taken care of, I wouldn't bother with them period. I would look into a nice set of long tube headers. There is a set of coated long tubes on eBay for $300 that I might go with when the time comes.

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    I would say don't bother with them. As others said, that money could be spent on other pressing needs... like a fan shroud... :emotions34:

    Chinese Ebay Headers....

    Actually it is long-tube headers that are geared more for lower RPM power, not short-tubes. Depending on all you would have to do to get those shorties to work, I wouldn't mess with them. Remember, they are cheap for a reason....

    Top Speed Roughly??

    What exactly are you asking? Your top speed? Or if you can cruise down the highway at a reasonable RPM? I do 65-70 on the highway with mine. TH400 and 3.73's with 265's. Nothing the drivetrain can't handle easily.

    Scratch it off with your fingernails then. Problem solved.

    Cant get rid of paint overspray on inside windshield

    It could be that the glass is permanently etched and you can't do anything about it. What kind of paint was it? How long was it on there?

    Is this a good deal on a 78 GMC K10 ?

    You could always bring just $1000 cash with you. Look it over real good, point out everything mentioned in this thread (act like you came up with it all on the spot) and offer him whatever you feel like it's worth. If/when he says no, tell him ok thanks for your time, and that the offer is...

    Engine bay clean up

    Personally I would go with a low gloss black for the engine bay. I don't like being blinded by gloss black paint and/or chrome under a hood. Black engine block, aluminum intake (real or iron painted), and some matching valve covers and air cleaner. Valve covers and air cleaner should be...

    Squeaking from driver's front wheel area

    Sounds like your speedometer cable. Reach up behind the dash and unhook it from your speedo and go for a drive.

    C20 8-Lug with adapters to 5 lug?

    Does anyone even make 8-5 adapters?

    TPI on a 73 350

    Nope. When I pull my set-up out of storage I can figure it out.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Put a new battery in mine. Need to pull it back out and clean up the battery tray.

    TPI on a 73 350

    Even if you do have the 9th injector, it is easily blocked if you don't need/want to use it. Plate on the manifold and a plug in the fuel rail and you are all set.

    400 sbc cam choice

    Thanks for this link! I always knew they needed to be drilled, but this is the first I have seen actually telling where and what angle to drill them at.

    Dash lights

    ^^^ What he said. While you have the metal face plate off, paint the back of it gloss white, that will help reflect more light around to the gauges.

    Venturi to increase exhaust?

    Theoretically, I think it would work. With that said, there are also variables that would need to be considered. The intake part of the venturi would need to be in the airflow path under the truck. The merge would need to be in an appropriate location, and possibly multiple locations to keep...

    Vortec Headed 350

    Stock L31 lift is .414/.428 HE268 lift is .456/.456 Most people to check clearances around .480 lift, but I have heard from a couple personal friends that had issues with as little as .450 lift. You may not have a problem, but I would check it to rule it out concretely. With the valve cover...

    Only three hours away for me. Damn I wish I had room for it.

    Vortec Headed 350

    Did you check your valvetrain components? That much lift with Vortecs needs to be checked and confirmed for proper clearances. Usually it seems machining the spring pockets is needed when going above .460 lift.
