    700R4 and Correct Gearing

    700R4 and Correct Gearing

    I'm confused. Did it shift and rev ok with the original trans or has this started since the second trans was installed?

    engine dress up

    Thought that I throw my $.02 in. Not my square engine (yet) but one I built for my boat. I agree that aluminum looks good and won't rust but polishing it sucks and the more polished it is the more everyone seems to want to touch it.

    R12 to 134A

    '86 Sub help

    Hey guys, Been lurking awhile and my first post. Been reading alot here and am much wiser for it. Still, I’m looking for your opinions and confirmation that I’m either on the right track or full of s**t. A little background first. Back in the day, I ordered a brand new ’88 Sub that I drove 245K...
