    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    Rock Auto reviews Mevotech Supreme as being good replacements. After looking, I may just go ahead and do complete control arms. I don't have a press to do the ball joints, and I figure at 33 years, the bushing in the control arm pivots are probably shot anyhow. Mevotech is engineered in...

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    So I need to replace my ball joints and tie rod ends, but there are so many damn options. I hear MOOG is a good one, but I've also read some that say they too have gone to chinese shit. Rare Parts has good reviews but I think is new to the game. I want quality, as my truck is used to tow 10k...

    Air Compressor Time

    I ordered some rubber feet pads on Amazon. I just set the compressor on these and it does just fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002IA0WQC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Air Compressor Time

    I think 2 stage is the way to go, no doubt. Especially if you have something that's going to eat air like a media blaster. If its just hand tools and what not, a 60 gal 2 stage would be overkill.

    Air Compressor Time

    Do you have a Lowes near you? I bought mine from Lowes. They special order it. It sells for $1299. But you get on ebay and pay like $4 for a 10% off coupon. Then you use it on the compressor and get it for $1170 instead of $1300. Oh, and you buy the oil change/filter kit so that you get a...

    Air Compressor Time

    I bought a Quincy 60 gallon 2 stage with a 5 horse electric motor. Sumbitch will run my media blaster and still cycle off! I love the thing. I think it was about $1300 or so. Worth every damn penny.

    What's the best gen 454 block to build?

    You can find Scat stroker kits online for under $1500 new. Get internal balance too.

    What's the best gen 454 block to build?

    In my case it was a Mark IV block, but I have a mechanical clutch so I need a block that is tapped for the pivot ball mount. On any of them, for the money you spend buying pistons, turning the crank, resizing the rods, etc., you can buy a stroker rotating assembly already balanced for only a...

    Brakes, cheap people, dumbasses, and old parts

    I was lucky on mine. Only real problem was some butchered wiring trying to put in a stereo, and a broken ground that kept any of the gauges from working. I also immediately went through brakes and whatnot to rule out safety issues. Thankfully I found none. Some people should just stay the...

    Brakes, cheap people, dumbasses, and old parts

    Yeah, its amazing the amount of time one has to spend correcting the shoddy work of previous owners.......

    Dakota Digital or New Vintage

    :happy175: Indeed! Dakota Digital makes some nice stuff. I've seen their gauges in person and they are awesome. Just pricey!

    Best of the worst?

    Yeah, mine will be carb for a while until after I get the 496 built and installed next summer.

    Best of the worst?

    That shit always had me confused, so I never messed with it. I've had good experience with the fitech, a friend and I put one on his Jeep Grand Waggoneer. @Splandman has the Holley Sniper system on his. He said he loves it. I'm liking the Edelbrock system now that they reduced the price...

    White Interior?

    I dig it! But I'm a sucker for all the old truck special edition stuff. It being a patriotic version is just a bonus!

    need help on engine rebuild

    If it were me, I'd ditch that TBI stuff, throw on a 600 cfm carb with a performer intake, slap on some used vortec heads, stuff a mild cam in it, add headers, and the drive the hell out of it.
