    I see alot of post on bellhousing/clutch forks. My car has used a regular bellhousing or a Lakewood blowproof bellhousing for 15+ years I just had to dent My floor under the gas pedal.

    Effect of track width on caster/camber + lower a-arm ?s

    You can run them but the left one goes on the right side and the right one goes on the left. They also will make the wheel base about a inch longer. I have them on My open wheel race cars. If You swap Your spindles for the Mustang/Pinto it also takes a tie rod mod. On a dirt track car when...

    FLOOR PAN HELP

    I've never put a one piece floor in a Malibu but I have put them in a first gen Camaro's. A Camaro doesn't have a post like a Malibu so it will slide in the side. A Malibu will probably have to go in from the bottom. If you ever put a one peice floor in there's no going back to a two piece. I...

    Fluidampr - Good or Bad?

    I have ran the Fluidamper's and the ATI's never had a problem. Both are better than a stock style damper. For some reason the stock GM 400 dampers don't last like the internal balanced dampers. I won't even run a stock damper on a stock 400 motor because I've had so many of them go bad.

    ? +60 400 sbc

    Do You have the pistons already? Don't worry about all the myths of a 400 running hot I have ran 400s for more than 15 years. If they don't run hot in a dirt car on gas they shouldn't run hot in anything. You may have to buy a good radiator and fan.
