    Golden Age of Musclecars

    He Episcopal, its sorta like Catholicism plus babies. My mum in a nun in her own ways, haha. JB, I like the way those early Cuda's look, not a common car i suppose.

    Golden Age of Musclecars

    funny, my dad had two brand new e-types his father shipped from England back in the day. One was a 3.8, the next was an XKE, but he was becoming a priest and the bishop didn't like the kind of cars he drove and was told to get rid of them. One cool thing is he got to trade the XKE for the day...

    Golden Age of Musclecars

    that's what's up. Plus motor trend would probably get an 11.7 our of a z06, the numbers posted are with all ideal factors. The chevelle example did not have that. The 1969 Yenko Zl-1 Camaro was a perdy bad beast for its day. "Super Stock & Drag Illustrated tested a '69 Yenko Sports Cars 427...

    Golden Age of Musclecars

    All very true. The Chevelle had very small, and i'm not sure if radial or bias, tires on it. With a set of modern rubber, it would do much better. Corvette's are lighter than a 4 passenger chevelle, they are more than a muscle car. A fair comparison to muscle cars would be new camaro ss...

    I love the show. You would imagine it was a fairly recent show by their enthusiasm, but Clarkson has been doing it for ages. They all play well into their "child tapes". Its a blessing to see cars tested that otherwise i would have been totally ignorant of. The episode last year where they go...

    How to clean up a "smoker"-lex?

    one time i borrowed my bosses newish suburban when i was in high to go see someone out of town. It was a rural house and they asked me if i would take the trash for them. They were smokers and the butts in the trash bag made the whole car smell. I put an Alpine Air ionizer in the car overnight...

    LS 400 into old Ford van

    I did drive a sequoia and was impressed with the low-end torque vs. the 1uz. So if you really wanted a uz, a 2uz may do it for you, but it still won't be a "stump puller".

    LS 400 into old Ford van

    LS 400 into old Ford van

    you will not be happy with the torque on a 1uz (non-vvti) in a van. Find yourself a 351 and put some decent factory heads on it and you'd be much happier. I have an sc400 and couldn't imagine the 1uz torque as adequate in a van. I have two vans and i even miss the torque in the one with the 350...

    New Mustang Coyote 5.0 engine

    the best stuff is it only weighs 430 pounds and has variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust. I wander how it sounds, ls1 guys admit how sexy cobras sound, if it sounds good it would be a good canidate for a 77 celica if i get another one, or at least added to the list of candidates, haha.
