You can always use a pressure bleeder instead of a vacuum. If indeed the small bubbles are from air being drawn in past the threads of the bleed nipple under vacuum, use of the pressure bleeder can confirm this (or not).

Ditto that - Redline MT90 works great. If you have an LSD installed there's some Redline friction modifiers that can be used v. open diff.

In September things are starting to cool down in Vancouver and the Canadian rockies....you'll need a jacket in the rockies. July and August are awesome - warm weather, not cold at night, longer days to see the amazing views and sunsets. A drive up to Whistler from Vancouver is very scenic and...

Big block Chevy ITB fuel injection manifold - complete. This is a Speedmaster individual throttle body (ITB) system for big block Chevy. Very nicely made, polished, ready to bolt on. Includes fuel rails and fuel pressure regulator. You will need your ECU and sensors and injectors. FAST makes a...

The debate in the scientific community regarding is climate change significant (yes) and man-made (yes) is long, long over. Looooooong over. Sure, once in a while there's somebody in the scientific community that still questions it, but the vast, vast (like 95%+) of the scientific community...

Seems to me that the percentage of the population that knows how to build or self-maintain a kit car is shrinking. Hanging out in the garage messing with cars and various tools just isn't the norm these days. Instead, the parents are surfing their favorite websites and the kids are glued to...

The 01E is a compact and cost efficient transaxle for a 302, and it also weighs less than other choices. About 115lbs with shifter mechanism. Either limited slip or torque bias diffs are available, and not expensive. It also shifts pretty easily with not a lot of effort required. Adapter...

Yeah, that's quite an engine. If I recall right, it's specific output is something close to or exceeding 100hp/litre. Not as torquey as a built out SB/BB Ford but sure would sound good going down the road. The electronics might be a handful though. Pretty complicated harness/brain with a...

Not sure if this is much help....but in any case. I have a twin-turbo V12 engine in my Mercedes. The "charge coolers" for each side are very nicely made aluminum boxes with a small radiator inside through which the cooled coolant flows to cool the incoming compressed intake charge. Recently...

Sounds like a good transaxle Steve. And the price is?

Joel, just my $.02 but I'd be tempted to split the difference/mis-alignment on bot the bracket and on the plate. Of course, I have a lathe and milling machine and all the necessary bits and fittings to do that which makes it relatively easy. Alternatively, as Neil said, if you have the...

Hi Wilhelm, very cool looking set of IDFs! One question, are these a matching set of IDFs? Thanks

Ditto what Neil said. Hopefully you found some Grade 8 equivalent type cap head bolts, with a finish other than black oxide. The yellow zinc holds up well. McMaster tends to have a pretty good selection including finishes other than just black oxide. I wouldn't buy bolts off of...

I don't have an SLC so discount this for what it's worth (probably not much).... If you're coming from an lp640 then you're going to find just about any of the component car options a very, very big change. An SLC or GT40 or anything similar won't have anywhere near the level of fit and finish...

This one works well. From a modern corvette. https://www.pacificmotors.com/auto-parts-shop/corvette/corvette-c7-stingray-2014/power-brake-booster-vacuum-pump-23451913-22895342-corvette-stingray-c7-2014-16/

This is just so old and tired... I propose the moderators close this thread and bury it.

Compared to most other exotics....that tend to at least have some modest amount of storage space and creature comforts....the GT40 is not a good weekend cruiser. If by "weekend" you mean overnight, it pretty much bites. Doors don't lock, windows don't roll down, zero storage, very loud inside...

Just my $.02 here. I have had 302's, 331's and 347's...all in various states of tune, carbs, injection, basic stock and also with better (forged) pistons/rods/etc. Have worked on putting these together myself, not paying someone else to do the hard work so my experience is 1st hand. The 347...

Mitch, your 90 degree bell crank (throttle cable to weber throttle arm) doesn't look ideal. Your initial pull is at quite an aggressive angle. I would consider using a throttle cable wheel rather than just a bell crank. This tends to lessen the initial pressure needed and provide for a...
