How fresh is your coolant? Have you adjusted your mix? Have you tried Wetter Water? Are you running the stock fan? Would you consider an electric fan? It'll free up hp and it can turn on at whatever t ...

200-4r is a great transmission. If you can find one. They are getting harder and harder to find. They were indeed a bit on the weaker side, but they, like any transmission (including the 700R4) can be ...

Honestly, I'd look at the heads. You've got some good mods their, but your engine just might wake up with some new heads. There's lots of good options. I wouldn't mess around with port and polishing y ...

I agree, if only because its the right area and the cheapest to do as well as the easiest solution. I love lazy & cheap troubleshooting.

200-4R is a great transmission and is perfect for your application. But, keep in mind, they are getting harder and hard to find. Also, earlier models of these were rather weak and didn't take well to ...

Couple of questions..... Are they both smoking? Only one? Is it the one on the side of the starter? What color is the smoke?

My blanket thought on this is that you've got some oil on them. As the m ...

I did some work on my own 327 in a '65. I did the cam, intake, carb, and ignition. Ignition systems was the big one, for me. The HEI woke up the rest of my mods. If you have an Edelbrock Performer RPM ...

No, I don't get laughter. Of couse, I'm rather big and scary. But the car is my wife's. No one laughs at her, either. Of course, its a '65.
