I'm fixing a PVC bumper on an RV. I've plastic welded and filled with a bumper repair kit. Getting ready for primer. I'm going to just tape off the area and and have a sharp transition between primer and original pain (Imron). Painting the whole bumper or to a transition line is out of the...

OK, I have an odd combination and want to know if I can delete the air injection system when installing headers. It's a 98 Ford F53 motorhome, 460efi, OBD1 (emmisions exempt, no catalytic converter). I found some headers but no provision for air injection. If I delete the air injection will I...

Thanks, I actually read a text version of that but good to see the force required with the correct shim thickness.

Is there a spec for getting the correct shim thickness in the rear end posi clutches. This is my first rear end rebuild and the best answer I get is assemble with lube on the clutches. If you cant turn independently, remove shims. If your arm doesn't feel like jello after a few dozen...

Kinda curious why you would go with efi on a mild 327 build?

Years ago when I did my LS swap, I put on a "temporary" flat filter intake. Plans were to make sort of an L88 style since I have an L88 hood. Well it looks like it's going to be a cold winter, so a project in the basement is in order. So can anyone tell me how big around the little screen cage...

OK, this question is from a paint/bodywork idiot....so be gentle. I've got a fiberglass hood on my Olds ( I know, not a vette, but it is fiberglass )recently painted with base and flat clear coat. I want to add a stripe on it to match the rest of the car (sunburst orange) with gloss finish. Can...

I've been trying to find an appropriate forum for this and with the wealth of suspension knowledge here, this is probably the best place. Anyway, I've been looking at doing another LS conversion since I finished my 6.0 LSx vette. I've wanted to do an aluminum 5.3 L33 in a Triumph Spitfire ( I...

This may be a bit rudimentary for the discussions here, but for those of you who bought suspension kits from a vendor whose name starts with a letter very late in the alphabet..... I rebuilt the entire suspension and steering about 7 years ago, maybe have 10,000 miles on it. Thursday, I hit the...

Agreed, we need more bigger pics. Really neat project. Guessing you've seen this conversion: http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/vemp-0701-1965-chevrolet-corvette-efi-system/

Photobucket has become so painfully slow, that it's getting unusable. You cant do anything until all the ads load. Linking a pic takes longer than writing a thread. Any other similar sites that are not so slow?

I guess the question is why you want efi. If you expect adding efi will magically double your gas mileage, you'll be disappointed. I love the look of the 3x2 carbs. The engine mounted carb pump should be about 7 psi, efi pumps run between 15psi (tbi) to 60psi (spfi), so just get the correct pump...

Let me know when you'll be at the hanger.

Yeah, I found those before. OK, I'll admit, not vette related, but was hoping someone around here had a comparison pic. This is for a 6.0 LS I want to put in a Mercedes 380 SL. The Mercedes trans is pretty small and the tunnel apparently has some structural components to it. So now trying to...

Anyone got these 3 trannys laying around? I'm looking for the smallest possible trans in the rear main body section for a project I'm looking at. Small tunnel for an engine/trans swap. I know the 4L60e is too big, is a th350 or 200R4 smaller?
