Our initial All About Stall post established the significance of engine setup in choosing torque converter stall. Nelson Gill, President and CEO of ACC Performance, then demonstrated how variables in engine setup — things like cylinder heads and exhaust choice — can change your ideal stall speed in Part 2 of the series.

The 1980s was a transition period for engine technology in America. During this time, the iconic carburetor was increasingly phased out in favor of EFI technology. Cubic inches were out, and liter designations now marked a new engine era — an era when power and fuel economy were no longer mutually exclusive. This modern engine age has featured some of the best
There are a couple of reasons to perform an engine rebuild. When an engine has accumulated a lot of miles, the internal parts inside the engine may be worn or damaged and have to be replaced.

No V8? No problem. Sure, the Ford F-150 Raptor’s 5.4L and 6.2L V8s are gone in favor of Ford’s 3.5L Ecoboost V6. And yes, the truck now sports an aluminum body. But the F-150 Raptor is still “Ford Tough” and more than capable of blasting through the most challenging off-road terrain. Ford has gone out of
Top Gear on History co-host and all-around nice guy Rutledge Wood has a problem. He got himself a killer 1968 Camaro that he will be driving on the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour this June. The car was one of two stunt cars driven by Rut’s Top Gear pal Tanner Foust in the movie Need
Automotive suspensions have come a long way since the original muscle car era of the 1960s and early 70s. Today’s shock technology allows for tuning your suspension for maximum handling and control; and the tubular steel components offer a better, stronger alternative to stamped steel parts.
