I'm bound to do the same in the very near future. I Will follow this thread closely. Is your tank lined with a rubber bladder?

Hi Guys. I'm currently adjusting my windows, and I'd like to know how a particular area of your Vette looks like so I can compare. Here's the pic: You're looking at the top front corner of the driver side window, seen from outside. You see the gap highlighted in red? How it is on your Vette...

Not a problem, just a matter of function. If I have enough vacuum I don't need the extra weight. Add to that the steering pump of the LS has a single return. Plus, I'm mildly thrilled by those fluid line going over the headers. When the LS swap wil come, ideally that would come along with a rack...

Since I will eventually put an LS engine with an rather stockish cam, I will get decent vacuum and be able to get rid of the hydroboost. In that context i was wondering if there was a better option than the stock booster. I'm thinking about something smaller to allow better maintenance, and...

You may not like the car or find the guy dorky, but you got to admit he's pretty determined: 7 years in the making and 40 videos to count. The video are of descent quality and he let us see a lot of the process. I've seen worst way to waste some time. 1st episode...

Look like there is such a thing as video of people showing off their shop. There is a subreddit that collect them all : http://www.reddit.com/r/shoptours/ Not all are garage, there is also woodshop and others, but still a good source of entertainment/inspiration for bored gearheads.

Looks like someone actually made one finally. It's called Automation car company tycoon. I don't know much of the game, but this video shows a gameplay people here could appreciate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM0PvNIItqk The game in on the "early access" Steam library, meaning the game is...

I'm missing a couple of fasteners for my engine build : -Lifter tray bolts -Windage tray nuts -Steam cross tube bolts. -oil pickup bolt. Too cold up here to go scavenge the scrapyard, let me know if you can help me move forward before snow melt. Thanks

Oh yeah, that must feel good. I love bumperless chrome bumpers.

You're welcome mate. At a time I considered buying it, since then I discovered I could get LS like motor for 400$ at the local scrapyard....

Ask SuperBuickGuy if he still has his FI setup for sale. It was a heck of a deal.

The pump is a very easily rebuildable element, first thing I rebuilt in my resto. From what I've read the whine it often cause by air in the system. Ideally you'd want it hook the pump reservoir to a source of vacuum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egzQYcxaPGU

http://www.topology-opt.com/ If you like Computation Fluid Dynamic and structural strength, you may find useful stuff here. I stumbled upon it while reading about the Tesla valve, but unsurprisingly there is a lot of chassis stiffness related articles. It's all about making things light and...
