Scott A Chynoweth replied to the topic Future New Front End in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 11 months ago
I gotta chime in here. the only thing mustang 2 aftermarket kits that is mustang 2 is the design.A 10 inch dics brake should give plenty of stopping power even a 9 inch for that matter.I see nothing wrong with a chevette front end,same weight car as a mustang 2.Guys have been dumping small block of 1 type or another into chevettes,vegas,pintos,and…[Read more]

Here’s the why a 283.
I have 2 virgin low mileage 283’s sitting here.The smaller bore,and short stroke take a lot less fuel to feed it.And gas here is holding at $4 a gallon.A stock powerpack 283 with a 2bbl carb has 195 ponies.Should be plenty to move a 1700 pound car.A 327 is just a short stroked 350.I have a 350 4 bolt main sitting here.If I… -

ok I know.But vw also got heat from the exhaust.
Doesn’t make it right -
Scott A Chynoweth replied to the topic Seat Hinge in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 2 months ago
Ok my 2 cents.
Unless you are planning on using a gel cell sealed battery,I would not put one in the passenger compartment.As an acid battery charges if gives off toxic fumes.Find a place under the hood.Or go with a gel cell sealed. -

Not sure what your DOT laws are,but watch yourself.If you add a saftey item you may be required to use it.If it didn’t have shoulder belts/harness from the factory I wouln’t bother.
And don’t bother to ask a law enforcement official on the law.They all have the same answer,DUH I don’t know,depends on the persons mood at the time.

The hardest part was finding the correct angles and mesurements for all the wood.Plenty of pics on the net of rebuilding a “TUB” but no dimentions.I did finally come across someone that did post this needed info with his pics.
I have most of the wood in place,Have to fit and secure two pieces for the rear(hopfully today)then it’s sanding time to…[Read more]

Scott A Chynoweth replied to the topic Oil leak in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 12 years, 4 months ago
Transmission fluild also works well.Hold at a higher RPM and pour slowly down the carb.Best recomended on an old back country road as it will produce alot of smoke.
I also recall reading where the 55 chevys burned oil off the transport truck,the fix was pouring boraxo cleanser down the carb while running at a higher rpm.This provided enough… -

Scott A Chynoweth replied to the topic Grill shells in the forum General Discussion 12 years, 4 months ago
I guess I should clarify.I have a fiberfab,and an original grill shell is larger,both in hieght,and width.I would almost think that due to patten laws some changes in dimentions would have to be made on a copy.

Not to burst your bubble.But I think they are different in size.I have an original as well as the one on my replica.The original will fit over the replica.

On a side note all it takes is a pin hole on the pump diaphram,or a crack from dry age.CHECK THE OIL what fuel isn’t going to the carbs has got to be going some place.

The trick is
When you have the ball joint under pressure with the tool; tap-don’t beet the outer area of the arm and squirt a little penatrating oil.This has always worked for me even on very stuborn joints.If you have a bench vise clamp the ball joint tool in the vise works even better,provided the trailing arm has been removed from the… - Load More
