Vincent Ingegneri built this Nova with his two sons, Cody and Anthony, as a tribute to his third son, the eldest, who passed away in an auto accident several years ago. The Nova started out as a basket case—someone else’s stalled project. Undaunted, Vincent and his sons tore the car apart, finding more and more
A parking lot is a parking lot—unless it’s the Summit Racing parking lot. On any given day or time, the lot outside a Summit Racing store can turn into an impromptu mini car show, depending on who’s stopped by the store. On Wednesday, we often share a notable parking lot find—another benefit of being powered by
LAS VEGAS, NV — Being at the SEMA Show is essentially one continuous “Well there’s something you don’t see every day” experience. And sometimes, in a sea of head-turning automotive (and otherwise) wonders, you’ll find something truly unique—at least for those of us accustomed to driving only on pavement. The “Blue Streak Beast” is such
Somewhere, the General is smiling. No, we’re not talking about “The General” Bobby Knight, who coached Indiana University to NCAA basketball championships in 1976, 1981, and 1987. Even then, that guy wasn’t smiling. We’re referring to General Motors, which is guaranteed a victory in our 2017 Muscle Car Match-Ups (Engine Edition). Our championship match-up features the
The NCAA basketball tournament has been a tradition since 1939. Our annual Muscle Car Match-Up tournament hasn’t been around nearly that long, but we felt it was already time for a change. So, for 2017, we present the OnAllCylinders Muscle Car Match-Ups…Engine Edition! That’s right — we’ve stripped our tournament of the cars but left all the
A friend of mine suggested using a big-block oil pump on my small-block Chevy in order to get smoother flow and more volume with a stock volume pump? Will that work? D.B. Jeff Smith: It seems there’s quite a bit of confusion regarding oil pumps and oil pressure so let’s focus on what’s happening. We’ve
In another post we counted down our five favorite Rat motors ever. Now, we’re looking at the top Chevrolet big block production cars ever produced. And there were some great ones to choose from. The big block Chevy kick started the muscle car era when it was introduced in 1965. Since then, it has been
The potent 327 L84 held the title as the most powerful production small block Chevy engine for nearly 30 years! That’s an impressive feat for an engine developed way back in 1964, especially considering it gave up precious cubic inches to the larger small blocks developed later on. So how did this legendary engine do it? The
The staff at Hot Rod magazine got the chance to dyno test a one-off Chevy 427 Mystery Motor built by the legendary Smokey Yunick in 1963. Although the 427 isn’t officially part of the Mark IV family, this Mark II engine is essentially the predecessor to the Rat motor, which came along in 1965. This experimental “Mystery
With the upcoming addition of the 454-cubic-inch big block to my 1966 El Camino, I begin to worry about the durability of the 8.2-inch 10-bolt rear. It currently houses a 3.36:1 gear ratio which I am very happy with. The car itself is a driver, I do not drag race, nor do I anticipate ever taking
