    C7 Pics from the Lonestar Corvette Classic

    I have to admit that I am fricking terrible with a camera. And this was just a cell phone camera. It hasn't grown on me yet.. back end is too camaro'ish.. especially with the quarter windows. It does look pretty damn exotic, though. And one gratuitous shot of sitting in the middle of...

    T56 install in a '78

    I picked up a T56 out of a '96 Camaro today. I putting together a list of parts to install it and wanted to discuss the swap with you guys since several have done it. So.. First off.. My 383 is internally balanced so I cannot run the LT1 style pull clutch unless I have that rebalanced.. which...

    Some old pictures..

    I went back to my parents house for the holidays this past year and I scanned a bunch of pictures from my dad's old car photo album. There is some neat history in there since he worked at Yenko Chevy from '76 - '79 and worked on the Yenko-Mason race team. I think these photos are from...

    To sidepipe, or not to sidepipe.. That is the question.

    Most of the resident guys over here have way more experience with hot rodding than I do so I want to pose the above question.. Is there a noticeable decrease in performance by adding side pipes vs. running an under car exhaust? Here's my setup: 4 bolt main vortec 383, 10.75:1 compression...

    Wideband O2

    Are the AEM, Holley, and other Wideband O2 gauges with the Bosch sensor in the $200 price point ok to use or should I save up for a better setup like the LM-2 from innovate?

    A few upgrades for my '78

    A few months back I picked up a 4 bolt vortec block, a set of GMPP fast burn heads, and found an engine shop in Arlington, TX to build a 383. I've had the engine sitting on a pallet in the shop for a few weeks and finally decided to go about the swap. I pulled out the original L48 yesterday...

    sfi bell housing

    At what point do you guys find it necessary to install a scatter shield? I am getting ready to install a moderately built 383 into my '78 and wonder if it is necessary. I might just go with the non sfi lakewood unit while im saving up for a t56.

    Has anyone ever.....

    Taken a pyrometer and measured the exterior temp of their side pipes after a hard run? Or does any one run EGT's in their side pipes? I had this dream, you see, where I had a set of tubes made from carbon fiber. But I suspect that the temperatures are so high that they will exceed most, if...

    Hi there.

    I was lurking and had to register to follow some links in order to see the pics of the johnny joint install on the trailing arms. This is something I think I'm going to do in the near future. I notice a lot of familiar names from CF. I guess this place is good, too! Thanks, Eric (pancake)
