To whom it may concern, My name is Tim Cline, I am looking for a full time job in a Hot Rod shop in North Florida. I have over 30 years of painting under my belt. I have worked on some Hot Rods & help build a couple of Custom Motorcyles. One I just compleated a couple of months ago will be in a upcoming edtion of Easy Rider Msgizine. I was contacted by Pisino Publications from California that the bike was going to be in there magizine.I helped paint a 34 Ford coupe, did all the body work,primed & painted it with help from a couple of friends, it was painted a 62 Cadilac Firemist Red, with about 4 coats of clear, the car was equipted with a 427 ci, 2 650cfm Holly Carbs, Hooker Headers & a Crane cam we instaled. Another favorite was a 1956 Chevy Corvette, we painted it Canary Yellow, & placed Black Lace on the hood & trunk areas. I also help build a 1956 Chevy for the Drag Races, 350 ci,550 Isky Roller Cam, 2850 cfm Hollys on a Elderbrock Manifold it put out about 680 hp on a dyno. But my true passion lies with working on Hot Rods & Custom Cars. I use to travel on the ISCA show circut mainley in the Ind-Ohio area. I have painted a lot of diffrent things in my 30 years, a lot of corperate aircraft, Lear Jets,Falcons, Grumman g-1 g-2 g-3 Jet Stars. I have a vast knowledge of sanding,buffing,wet sanding, color sanding,use of fiberglass cloth & resin,taping, masking, doing layouts with fine line tape & so on. I hope to get some response from this, I hope it works. Iam very gifted in these areas. Thank you for your time, my e-mail is timothycline2@aol.com, thanks again. TIM

I recently bought an 89 Vette and I am planning on installing an LT-1 intake on the car. I see that Popular Hot Rodding did an article on it titled..TPI Intake Conversion - Unleash the Beast - Converting your TPI intake over to an LT1 is easier than you think - By Tom Casey...but I'd like to find the issue it was in, does anybody know the year and month it was printed?

You will have 450hp, with an accuracy of +/- 100hp. The motor is probably CAPABLE of making 550hp. But there are SO many things that can cost you hp: bearing clearnces too big/small; ring gaps wrong; cam not degreed properly, one bad spark plug wire; plugs not gapped properly; ...... Just tweaking the timing and jetting can have HUGE impacts. My motor made about 485hp on it's first dyno pull. By the time I finished adjusting the timing and jetting, I was at nearly 560hp. Keep in mind that is at the flywheel. Read Johnny Hunkin's article "Counting Horses" in the current (January 2010) issue of Popular HotRodding and see the BIG differences you can see between flywheel and rear wheel horsepower.

Has anyone seen the protectmyid.com commercial where a guy is leaning against an engine that looks wholly pist off? The engine has symmetrical port heads and red valve covers with a rear distributor and what appears to be a narrow two barrel dominator positioned offset to the right about an inch on top of a mountainous single plane. Shown on the commercial is only the valve covers and above. I can guess a Dodge R5 NASCAR piece but I'm not sure. The commercial is on youtube under the title "four stories".

I'd like to confirm ProLite 350 hose is adequate for fuel like usage (street/pump fuel). I got conflicting info that it may weep, or even leak after about a year of usage in street applications. It may be that guy is trying to sell me their brand but has anyone had any challenges with longevity of the ProLite 350 hose when used for fuel line?

It looks like those heads will bolt on a 350 up to 1997 but there are some draw backs to them. Factory '67 283 heads had 1.725 intake valves and 1.505 exhaust valves. These are pretty small for a 350. Will they work? Yes. Will they breath? No. Also of major consideration is the lack of accessory bolt holes in the end of the heads. In 1967 GM mounted their alternators on the drivers side on most models. Your '81 Monte Carlo's alternator should be on the passenger side, with mounting brackets bolting to the head. All brackets and pulleys are based on a long (tall) water pump. If you happen to have all the brackets and pulleys off of the '67, you will need to also switch your water pump as the early mounting was based off of the short water pump. Any power steering or A/C brackets would have to be changed as well to the early style. I would sell the '67 heads to someone building an original style 283 or 327 and buy either a rebuilt set of cast iron heads for your engine or a pair of aftermarket aluminum heads, depending on your budget.

Setting the timing correctly on an engine may seem like black magic to some people. The folks at MSD Ignition realized this and have designed an excellent website dedicated to setting your timing. Check it out at: www.setyourtiming.com Hope this helps.

Someone else posted somewhere around here, on why he didn't see more 70's tanks built up. I can't find the original post, so I figured I'd just start anew. B/c Detriot builds 5 yrs in advance, to have the time to test a product that needs to operate in a variety of climates, and not bankrupt them in warantee repairs, the early 70's cars were built to handle big blocks and racing. Once the gas crisis hit in 1973, the cars downsized--a 1979 Monte Carlo is actually rated at a little over 3000lbs. So if you want something different, and are thinking of doing something after the musclecar era, consider whether you want a big block, or a flyweight car with a stroker small block. Before you get there, tho, as the editor of this mag found out...check your emissions laws first. For example, if you can only outfit the 302 in your intended Ford with small-primary headers, don't bother stroking it to 347 cid. Check into what the copcars came with that year (unless it was a 49 state setup in a California state, say) or considering putting in a 1988 or older 5.0 Liter H.O., with 2 of its four catalytic converters tucked up near the block. that might help with undercarriage clearance, plus plenty of aftermarket heads with E.O. numbers, so you can stroke n' poke, and be able to exhaust it w/ BBK catcons, etc. Typically, after the CC's is fair game, so you can put on the pipes you like, noise ordinances notwithstanding. As Dodge found out, trucks didn't need catcons til late in the decade, and so made the faster car of that time--the Little Red Express truck. Hey, why should only Chevy stepsides get built up? Make a Warlock, or a Power Wagon...this was the era of spoilers and stripes. Why not a hot 360 or a Magnum...or a 3rd Gen Hemi? Skip over the beater cars--finding weatherstripping, etc, can be real tough. If you can find an off-brand old Grandpa car, with maybe only rubber and gaskets needing replacement...you could be dollars ahead. But Mother Mopar and American Motors were going out of biz near the end of the Seventies, so build quality even on a low miler can be...um....well, American cars earned their rep during this time, ya know? Unless you plan to use 80's tech, and make a torquer engine that runs at 2000 Rpm and redlines at 5000rpm (hey, ever run a TPI Chevy or a 5.0?), exhaust flow is everything. Dump pipes, and a power adder, may be one choice--when you go to the track, switch to high octane, open the exhaust, and swap blower pulleys or hit the nitrous or whatever. Or maybe you have to rely more on efficiency, and leave the revs to the Cosworth Vega. Dry lubicant films, roller lifters and rockers, aluminum flywheels and pendulum cut or knifedged counterweights on the crank, et cetera. But that emissions air pump probably won't give you the crankcase vacuum to keep thin piston rings stuck to the cylinder walls--and you have to keep cleaning the oil out of an evac system. focus on making power at 3000Rpm, every time the trans shifts, the engine tends to fall to around this RPM. It'll make the engine feel strong, b/c you never fall out of the power band. Once you get the engine sorted out, then you can pick the rear gears: they all came in one form during this era--Bonneville lazy. But then, the rear axle is probably weak--a GM 8.2" 10 bolt, a Ford 7.5", etc. Consider a swap, and you may find you want to ditch the parallel leaf springs, too. Consider overdrive transmissions--the extra gears may do more than give you gas mileage, then may keep the engine in the powerband, like 15 speed big rig transmissions keep that 3000rpm redline 14 liter diesel in its powerband.
