I live in the Seattle area, so everything is more expensive here, but shopped around for some head work and it was over $2k to get some irons redone. I figured it was worth it to just spend the $3k...

I like this a lot. I can’t imagine anyone being unhappy with 360hp/460tq. Pretty basic parts, cheap and easy. One thing that stands out, I’m not much of a tuner, but 42* of timing is probably the...

The temp question is a good one, I’ve always thought it makes sense to have a thermostat setup for all your coolers. Same reason the coolant system in your engine has one: faster warm up, getting to...

They aren’t easy to get out, probably been living there for a couple decades. The last one I removed I had to drill it out and use a giant EZ-Out. Once you drill out enough of the center it removes...

Pretty good, however I’d say put the camber at -0.5*, and nothing less. Camber helps quite a bit and as long as your toe stays in spec, your tire wear should be minimal.

For example, if you...

Indeed it is, SPC springs, upper/lower control arms, and 0.5” taller lower ball joint. Hard to say exactly how much lower it is than stock, SPC sez 1.3” drop for the springs, and 0.5” for the ball...

I had a 71 400 w/ 96 heads in my car before the current 326. The 400 ran pretty good compared to the 326. Sounds like you just want a cruiser, so I'd recommend stay pretty conservative with the cam...

The general rule of thumb I’ve heard is to move the compression ratio decimal over to the right. ie 8.7 for 87 octane 9.1 for 91 octane.

To get more specific, most will say 9.5:1 will work for...

I run 245/45/r17s all the way around on my 67 LeMans. I have a slight rub on the front going over large uneven bumps. I do have a bit of rub in the rear because I have a wider 69 Chevelle 12 bolt.

The big reason for running cross drilled rotors is that brake pads will expel gas when under heavy, sustained use. Mainly road course/track day racing. This gas creates a boundary layer between the...

My 0.040” over 326 has 1967 400ci #143 heads on it. Should be a similar setup to you. Runs great, not a lot of juice, however. No idea what cam it’s got, moves the car pretty well from a stop, but...
