I have a ’66 Chevy II with a 355 cubic inch small-block and a Muncie four-speed. Over the years, I’ve made some small suspension modifications with Global West De-A-Lum bushings. On the freeway, the car can get into a violent front-wheel shake where the steering wheel wobbles really badly in my hands. It gets so
I see where Summit Racing lists a TCI transmission that was originally a 4L80E – but they list it as a six-speed transmission. I’ve heard a little about this—did they add two more gears to the transmission? How is this different from the GM 6L80E transmission that is used in the Corvette or in the
I have a question. I am building a 427 cubic inch Dart motor with LS3 heads and a Kenne Bell 4.2L blower. I am looking for maximum horsepower out of this motor. What compression would you recommend? The blower is capable of 32 pounds of boost and it will run on E85. Thanks. – T.B. Wow,
I’m looking to buy some upgraded brake pads for my 2010 Chevy 1500 pickup as the brake pedal is starting to shudder on even light brake application. I’ve been reading stuff online and one guy mentioned that he’d never buy a particular brake pad again because when he first installed them, the pedal felt weird

I am building a 355 cubic inch small-block Chevy with AFR 1065 220cc Race Ready AFR heads, an Erson roller cam, and FiTech fuel injection. Can I use a wet nitrous system injected under the fuel injection and then into a Weiand 6-71 blower? D.W. Jeff Smith: From your photo, it looks like a great project.
I’m building an iron 6.0L LS engine and just tried installing the timing set and the chain is super loose. I wasn’t sure how old this timing set was so I bought a brand new chain and it’s just as bad as the original. The machine shop align honed the block but I didn’t think
I have a 429 Ford in a Torino I bought about five months ago. The previous owner told me it has a flat tappet hydraulic performance cam but he didn’t know the specs or much of anything else about the engine. Just recently, the engine started making a ticking noise that is the same as
I just bought a cool ’70 Camaro with a 396 motor in it. The guy I bought it from said it had a “hot rod” camshaft in it. It idles like it has a big cam but it also ticks like there are one or two valves that might be loose. I don’t even know
I have a Pro Street Camaro with a big-block Chevy, TH400, Dana 60 and 4.30 gears. I just bought this car a few months ago. The gear ratio is what the previous owner told me it had. At approximately 50 mph I’m at 3,000 rpm. I’m running a 31-inch tall tire. How fast can I
