  1. hi lowfreq, sorry man, i dont know you as such, ive been reading your build up thread and your "stretched tire" part, i've got 10inch wide 15" rims, trying to see what would be a good tire to stretch on it, tried to PM you, damn site isnt sending them. on your pic's you had 205/60s on your 10" rims? i was after a less extreme stretch, a 216/60 or 225/60, what are your views or suggestions dude? PM if you want dude. cheers 2dr73xa

    Bumpstops

    cut them to just bigger than you want them, then use a angle grinder with a grinding disk and round/smooth them, or if you have a wood working sanding disk available use that its better, i just tacked them to my work bench (to hold them in place) then ground/rounded them to the height i wanted and made them look nice and smooth, not all half ar5ed.
  4. was the corvette up for sale in blockhouse bay recently? pass, his one is a late 80's type vet. havent seen talked to him in bout a month.

  9. im thinking of adding a leaf to my springs to toughen up my ride, bit soft in the rear springs, will the crowd you mention do that aswell?
  10. what fuelling system you gonna use? carb? if your gonna go a small holley, try a 3-71 or maybe a 4-71, but a 3-71 would be better, you can get them at truck wreckers, and get them reconditioned, places like ALs blowers can do that, are you gonna side sling it or have the huffer sitting out ya bonnet? that one listed in the reply above looks kinda sweet for your needs
  11. yes i know......... but i ddint have all day to go into lifters and solid lifters, mechanical lifters....etc... and anti pump lifters and roller cams and sh1t+........... you could always go into it now if you want........ feel free

    Vibrating car

    maybe check the drive shaft lenght and, if its a bit to short it wont fit in the trans properly.......and will wobble, does the car vibrate in neutral? if so then its not the drive shaft, then maybe check your engine mounts....... cheers
  13. pushrods = a link between the lobs from the cams direct to the roller rockers, when the lob on the cam comes around it lifts the pushrod up, which transfers the momentum to the roller rocker which then opens the valve into the cylinder......... dude, go have a read of a basic automotive engineering book, that will help heaps.......if you think pushrods are hard to understand...... wait to you get to dizzys and vacuum advanced timing.....!!!
