    trz bump steer

    If I understand the question correctly you have to open up the tapered hole where the tie rod end hooks up to 1/2" straight through effectivly elliminating those spindles from replacing stock ever again!!

    Driveshaft sizes???'s

    Hey Maxx,I had a local driveline shop build it and all it cost me was the parts as the company I work for does a lot of buisness with them,I would think normally it would be in the $200-250 range,Later

    Loose pushrod after adjusting valves

    Yep,sounds like a bad lifter to me,I'm assuming when you adjusted it running the pushrod had full movement as compared to the others? That would tend to indicate if the cam lobe was Ok or not, Pull the rushrod and if it looks OK you're gonna have to pull the intake so you can get to the...

    relay on start button

    It shure won't hurt anything but I think it's not needed as thats what the solenoid on most GM starters is,they don't take much juice at all so unless you have a super wimpy starter button or plan to do a lot of serious starter crankin I wouldn't worry about it, no reccomendations from the MFG...

Tha cats that built mine said it ought to handle 750hp more or...

    Price on charging

    I don't know what you mean by low boost,maybe cheaper than normal? Not happening that I'm aware of,If you want to get into the mechanical boost game (superchargers/tubochargers} you need to start out with $3500.00 and add to it as needed,as to support boost you need to beef up the fuel...

    2 part seatbelts

    Well what I remember I believe it is illeagle to modify or remove original equipment safety items period,so anyone running around with race belts by the letter of the law is illeagle even though they are much safer than OEM eqpt,If installed properly that is,the way I see it whatever you are...

    HELP-DOES ANYONE WHERE OR WHO REBUILDS SAGINAW 3SP SHIFTERS

    Re: HELP-DOES ANYONE WHERE OR WHO REBUILDS SAGINAW 3SP SHIFT Hey Mark, I don't know anyone that rebuilds shifers professionally but I've had a lot of Hurst shifters apart over the years,what usually happens is they're very rarely ever and usually never mantained and get full of road grime and...

    Guideplate vs self-aligning roller rockers

    I vote for neither! The "Man" Smokey Yunick absolutly hated Chevrolets Mickey Mouse rocker system and tried his best to talk GM into designing a shaft rocker set-up for the small block way back in the late 50s,although reletivly expensive initially they are the best way to go,of course after you...
