Nice, Tom. Driving!
I like an oil pressure gauge & currently use a Smiths dual oil pressure/coolant temp gauge like this. The correct TD version is more money and only reads to 220F (100C). Eventually I’ll get round to printing a white face to make mine match the other gauges on my dash…
Gas gauge could be a simple ground or broken wire but…[Read more]

Long as you’re welding anyway you could just weld the nut on and cinch the ground strap on with the bolt & a washer or two. Good idea to do several ground straps on these cars and/or run a negative ground wire from the battery with a few sets of terminals on it.

If I already had a Buick/Rover aluminum V8 that was built as a race motor I would not have trouble making the decision. The RV8 can bolt right to the T-5 with the proper bellhousing, which is available.
That said…check the width of those blocks. The RV8 might be about the same as, or even a little wider than, the 350 chebbie (and so too the…[Read more]

I get slow uploads. Like when I press “submit” on this reply, that’ll take 20-30 seconds to resolve. I can live with it.

This problem is supposedly being worked on as we type. There is a way to post pictures but it is a bit complicated & clunky. Here’s the process, as of now:
- go to the upper right part of the screen where it says “Howdy, ricrx7” and hover your cursor there. You’ll get a dropdown menu.
- On the bottom of that menu, hover over “media.” That will…

Interesting. 3/4 of a 350. 200 hp should be pretty easy with that. This should get you started. I think the heads on those engines are the weak point, from a flow perspective, but 200 hp should be available with a small cam, intake and headers anyway. (Ah, wait! There’s an aluminum intake for the Vortec heads! Problem solved!).
The V8 guy has a…[Read more]

Even if you use the 4.3, it should fit. There are TDr’s on this forum running the small block V8 with side panels intact. I thought about doing that a while back, before joining this forum, and concluded that the accessory drive for the alternator would not clear. Since then manufacturers have devised brackets that tuck it in real close. Problem s…[Read more]

If I am not mistaken, the 60-degree GM six fits without taking the side panels off. I think you’re talking about the 3.4 liter? (Not 4.3)? That’s a stout engine for this size car and I believe there is a 4 barrel manifold available.
As for the wheels: You have a Chevette bolt pattern with an adaptor that takes it to 4 x 130, the VW Beetle size.…[Read more]

Man, some people are never satisfied! I actually like the idea of a spare tire cover, Jack, but I think on a wire wheel the tire would be the only thing covered.
There is no reasonable way to make a luggage rack work with the wire wheel; the spinner sticks out too far. Only thing I could see happening would be one of those fold-down “low shelf”…[Read more]
