I have a 74 that is blue with a silver interior. When I first saw the car I wasn't sure if I liked it, but it grew on me after awhile. I was one of those guys that thought a bad boy muscle car should...

I guess I have a lot of work to do before nailing anything down - probably in the Spring. If I had the money I most likely would go the way of an LS3. There are outfits out there that can put...

C3 Performance Update

I have a 74 that's in good shape. It's not numbers matching, but a really good driver - better than most that I have seen around my neck of the woods that have been passed around to about fifty...

Powerglide anyone?

I've noticed some guys with big block Chevys put a Powerglide behind them instead of a three-fifty or four-hundred. Why would anyone do that? Is it just for hard core racing and not for the street?

Don't forget the shims. The new starter may have a few thousands difference + or - either way in the mount. Don't think you can just bolt it on without checking.

I feel your pain, great68. It's especially horrifying when you have a stout big block under the hood. This should not even be a remote issue for you. Something is definitely wrong. Adding insult to...

A/C Sucks Power

I have a 74 with a fresh short block 350, dual exhausts with long tube headers and a 3/4 race 400 turbo. Nothing fancy, but it can get out of it's own way nicely - which is better than most stock 74...
