    Modding a C3 Gas Tank for a in-tank EFI Pump

    Window glass adjustement, looking for some references.

    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...

    Alternative brake booster

    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...

    Alternative brake booster

    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...

    Shop tour video

    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.

    Hydraboost install & review

    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

    Good side about Topology

    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...

    Budget LS-like rebuild base : LQ4 or LH6

    Let's say you plan building a Gen3+ engine on a shoestring budget from a scrapyard truck engine. Would you go for a 5.3L Aluminum LH6 (LH8, LH9,LC9) or a 6.0L Iron LQ4(LQ9) engine?

    Balwin Motion Phase III back window question

    Does anybody know which kind of weatherstrip have been used for the back window mod : I read somewhere the window was from a Monza, so I looked for Vega Weatherstrip, but couldn't find image of the profile. My own mod will use a custom shaped window, so I'll have to resort to universal...
