    Go internal or external?

    Rebuilding the motor again. Need crank, rods and pistons. Builder/machine shop recommended stroker since the price will be the same. May race it once a year, so mostly a street car. Is it worth the extra $ (parts) to go internal balance? I already have a JW wheel for external. Any vendors...

    Bls increase w/fan on?

    Trying to get the car running right. All the scanmaster #s are in order. Bl's are 128 at idle (sometimes 126/127). However, when the fans kick on, it jumps to 138 and stays until the fans are off. This a repeatable pattern. Is this normal or an issue? I have an Extender Extreme chip. Thanks

    Plastic pieces in converter?

    Brake boosting awhile back, heard a bang and lost all gears. Finally got around for the rebuild and removed the converter today. I found a few black plastic pieces inside the converter. Can anyone tell me what they are and can the converter be repaired. The converter is a billet 9x11 3400...

    Ok to run engine?

    The car has been sitting about a year (lost all gears). I will be removing the converter this weekend to be cut and cleaned and will be having the trans rebuilt. I would like to prime the oil pump prior to delivering the car. Besides the usual procedure to prime, would it be ok to run the...

    Monte 2004r bolt pattern

    Stupid question, but is the bolt pattern for a 2004r from a Monte Carlo the same as the GN 2004r? I used the search but could not find a definitive answer. I see some transmissions advertised as having the BOP pattern. Thanks

    WTB driver side fender

    Looking for a Regal driver side fender in good shape. Paint color/condition or surface rust doesnt matter. Small door dings ok. 1981-1987 will work. Everything around here is a little rough. Shipping is too high. Prefer anything close to the central Texas area or Houston. Thanks...Zac

    Hydroboost

    I just finished up a hydroboost conversion last night. It is incredible. I held 15 psi on the footbrake with no effort. I bought the car with a failing PM so I cannot compare to a properly working PM. I converted to vacuum and it was ok. I rebuilt the motor with a 215/220 cam and I was only...

    Tuning Question

    I just started tuning on a new rebuild. WOT zips to red on the knock guage. Scanmaster shows nothing (extender chip has false knock ignore for the first 3 seconds). If I ease it up to WOT I have no knock (numbers look good; 3rd gear etc.). I have not even tried launching from a stop. Is this...

    Alternator case cracked

    Had the alt. rebuilt. When installed 2 months ago I noticed one of the tabs (4 that hold the case together) was cracked. It was probably torqued down too tight. Today the car quit running and I noticed 2 more were cracked and barely hanging on. Since one of the tabs was cracked initially and not...

    Converter clearance?

    Decided to check the converter to fleplate clearance because of all the thrust bearing failures. Pulled the bolts and had less the 1/8". I used a screwdriver (very little force) and the TQ moved back giving me the necessary clearance. It now easily slides up to the flexplate and back to the...

    While trans is out

    I was wondering what are some easy and worthwhile things to do while the trans is out of the car (200-4r). I have a converter and trans cooler. I will be installing a shift kit. The trans has 44k miles on it and has seen many low 12/high 11 second runs. With the motor rebuild I am looking for...
