    Hood Pad without Indents

    Mainly because there's a Turbo6 in the engine bay and this would be a nice touch to add.

    Hood Pad without Indents

    Howdy, Does anyone make a hood pan without the recesses or indents for the clips? I need to replace the hood pad on my Riviera anyway and it has a trapezoidal shaped central section that it would cool to trim down a TR hood pan to fill. However the pad is held in by slipping under the...

    K1 6.000 Rods

    Howdy, Did anyone buy the K1 6.000in (bh6000arlb6) rods and have a set they are not using? Have an interest at least in the weight if not buying the set. Thanks

    Fitting replacement Main Caps and a Girdle

    Howdy, I picked up a great condition 4.1 block for effectively free, only catch was no main caps. I have the front three billet main caps on my current 4.1 and the original caps sitting in a box, getting a rear main from somewhere should be easy enough. Since I'm planning on putting some...

    4.1 Block Going Rate

    Pictures received, definitely interested. If you find the center two caps then cool but otherwise no big deal. I'll respond on the PM to work out the details of snagging it.

    4.1 Block Going Rate

    That's a deal I can get in on, let me know about the caps and we'll figure out when I can get down to Houston to meet up. If I still lived in C-Springs I'd be interested in that one but Houston is quite a bit closer to Central Texas.

    4.1 Block Going Rate

    I'm only needing to make 320-350hp and I'd sleeve it down to 3.800 and running a 2.66in stroke odd-fire crank (Land Speed Car). The only thing a Stage block buys me is potentially more bottom end stability at rpm as I am required to run heads with the stock head bolt numbers and port order to...

    Engine Durability: Power or RPM

    No rule though with 3 or 5mi to run the number weight tends not to be a concern and to some level you need the weight to keep from being traction limited at the top end as aero mods are strictly prohibited. That being said, I've never run on the Salt so this is just a product of reading up on...

    Engine Durability: Power or RPM

    https://turbobuick.com/threads/rover-3-5-3-9-intermediate-timing-cover.399839/ Here's the work I did years ago on what would need to be fabricated to get the belt drive to work.

    Engine Durability: Power or RPM

    My apologies for the delay in a response. Goals are to get a stock bodied 1981 Regal up to 199mph as the safety rules change at 200mph so the goal is to keep out of that safey zone till I can afford the upgrades. I'd be racing in the Classic Production Supercharged F-motor class which also...

    Engine Durability: Power or RPM

    All good points, LSR tends to be long enough to tax an engine but short enough you can run a total loss style cooling system with a heat sink in the trunk. You have the primary pressurized loop that goes through the engine but instead of air to air in the nose most folks mount an unpressurized...

    Engine Durability: Power or RPM

    Howdy, Being on the road away from the garage means back-burner projects kinda float to the top of the whole thought experiment heap... I've stockpiled a stash of parts for a 3.0L destroker (3.800 bore, 2.660 stroke) built on a stock block for Bonneville. Land Speed Racing (LSR) means...

    4.1 Block Going Rate

    Howdy, Been out of acquiring parts for the Turbo6 for a while but looking for a block for a new project. How much does a bare (well main caps included) 4.1 block that would clean up at 4.00in go for these days? As nice as an off center Stage block would be, I think this project can make do...

    WTB Al or SS Water Neck

    That's exactly what I was looking for. I'll PM you for details.

    WTB Al or SS Water Neck

    Howdy, Anyone have an aftermarket Al or SS water neck they're looking to part with? I cut mine down for an AN upper hose but don't want to modify the new radiator for the same so going back to rubber and need a new water neck but don't need another thermostat like all of the new ones seem to...
