I'm trying to replace all of the old lines, hoses, condenser, compressor, and other items on my A/C system. I'm looking for the proper switches intended for pressures associated with r134 refrigerant. I've managed to obtain all but the following: 1. New Condenser 2. Switch attached to the...

Also, how much did you have to modify the console to get everything to line up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bobs84ttype...would you happen to have the part number for that shifter? I love how short the handle is but apparently, there are several quicksilver console editions for camaros. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know exactly what you mean about the limited run of parts. I'm sort of motivated by this more than anything else at this point. Maybe pick up a block and good set of heads in the near future even if it means driving my car the way it is for quite a while longer. Then, as time and money permit...

You make some good points too. Because this is a spare engine as I mentioned, I could build it for low tens. If I decided I wanted to go faster in the future, I could sell the entire engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not only would this strategy help reduce the hemorrhage of cash, it would also give me time (Seat time) to really learn how to tune and drive a low 10 second car. I also realize the car is not ready to run low 10 seconds. Still need lots of safety stuff too.

I forgot to mention, the current engine is a spare. I have the original engine that came in the car on a stand.

That's just it. I know I have the parts to run mid tens probably. That was my original goal for this year. A step up in turbo would probably net me a few more tenths. The question is how many times will the block take it? I just don't know if I should push the stock block so hard and risk...

I've been considering a TA block. I just have so many things to figure out option-wise like on/off center, oiling, etc...all for a street car I can drive to the track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I am ready to take my build to the next level and begin a stage project. My goal is to run a whole lot of 10sec quarter mile passes eventually getting into the 10.00-9.90 range in a full weight street car with A/C. I'm looking for a foundation I can grow into over time so I'm thinking...

I was thinking line bore issues when I saw that first bearing photo and how it was worn on the outside. I'm no machinist, but I wouldn't expect a forged crank to flex enough to cause that. Sorry for the bad news. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, the sticky tires made a world of difference. I went from getting 60' times of 1.95 with the old setup to consistent 1.75's with the larger wheel cylinders. I think the biggest difference was installing the line loc and not heating up the back drums before staging. I'm sure I can knock...

After many failed attempts at a leak-free installation, this is my process: 1. Mock up turbo to align everything including the center section 2. With turbo off car, apply thin film of RTV to both sides of paper drain gasket 3. Remove drain pipe from block and install on turbo with ease! 4...

Remove the spark plugs and serpentine belt first;)
