    1970-72 Monte's FTW. Customer on the route just bought a 1972 to rebuild. Another has a 1970 BB car with manual transmission --- very rare. Saw a gorgeous 1966 GTO in another customer's garage a few weeks ago. His brother has a 1958 Buick Special, 1974 Camaro and 1969 Ford F250 highboy 4x4...

    I shouldve bought a GNX back in '87. I'd love to find a 1966 Cutlass or 442. Owned a '67 Cutlass for a few years, just liked the look of the '66 better.

    Dorman body mounts dont fit...

    If your body mounts look like that in Texas, I dont even want to think what mine look like. Heck, the bolts would probably break if i tried to pull them.

    Im an Olds purist, you just dont do that to certain cars. If he was building a clone, then sure, go ahead. Me and another coworker (who owns a 1971 Cutlass) both told the driver to tell this guy, for us, that hes a complete idiot. :LOL: Heck, all he has to do is sleeve the block and...

    Ive done a lot of dumb things over the years, but I can say for definite sure I will never be so stupid as a customer for one of my co-workers. He owns an all-original 1974 Hurst Olds Cutlass, numbers matching drivetrain. The 455 has a scarred cylinder, but instead of pulling the engine and...

    What makes a Ford engine tick

    Here I thought this thread would be about poor oiling circuits or poorly designed oil pumps....maybe even incorrect valve lash specs, but no....it's about Mr. Diesel Marketing.

    Snap On vs. Autel

    Brick, as my Mom used to say, "Someone's gotta be the bitch". Sometimes, thats the only way to get things done.

    Piston Tech Improvement

    It may work on golf balls, but to me all their doing is adding potential hot spots to the top of the pistons.

    Head gasket build

    Yeah, its a lot of steps to get it done. It'll be worth it, though.

    Nothing like adding multiple potential hot spots to a set of duramax pistons. Yep, that'll work. AI will be the death of us all.

    $25,000 *whistling* Whew..... 17 years ago, Keith Bachler was the first to 1000hp with Nasty Girl. I remember how difficult it was, how many times that engine broke, how many new parts and processes were developed on that truck. He spent so much money.....probably twice what Tony...
