    tubular trans crossmember?

    A tubular one would be too thick. The one shown has a double hump needed for dual exhaust.

    Shifting your Manual VB 400

    This is 1988 Olds, I'm on my dad's name. Anyway I was in the same boat as you. I had broken a 200R4 a couple times and decided to go to a Reverse MVB 400. I honestly can say I love it over the 200R4. It shifts alot firmer plus like you said it doesn't downshift at wot. You get to pick...

    Value of 240 Mile GNX

    Sorry, It's a GNX. I was just kinda interested if anyone had gotten 100K for one yet. No it's in in Texas, it's in PA and they really haven't been trying to sell it.

    Starting Problem

    I have had a problem for the last few days. Car is a 87 Turbo T-Type with digital dash. Car starts OK but after it starts the dash resets to KPH and looses the radio presets. The car drives around just fine. I'm wondering if the battery is dying and during start drops low enough to reset the...

    Who makes the best bolt in cage?

    The rule is very specific for full frame cars. The cage must be welded to the frame. They do still allow for swing out side bars. However I don't think they will allow for swingout bars much longer.

    Who makes the best bolt in cage?

    Your attitude about safety really makes me sick. I don't car if you only go down the track once. Your doing a great job getting the car to run 10's now do the rest of the work and get a cage and safety equipments in it. I've been racing for over 30 years so I have seen things happen.

    Who makes the best bolt in cage?

    What makes you think your track is not going to check the car. That sounds crazy. You need to weld the cage in the car. It must welded to the frame of the car since yours is a full frame car. And by the way. 8 hundreths of a second faster and it needs to be a full cage and all SFI stuff. I...

    Broken Rocker shaft and Bent Push rod ???

    Lets check things first. Must leak down all of the cylinders to make sure valves are still on their seats. Then I would lay a straight edge accross the valve tips to make sure they are level. If you are still ok then look at the spark plug for anything weird. If you have or can borrow a scope...
