Here is the beast that my wife calls the "Other Woman" http://s582.photobucket.com/user/BBillyC/media/IMG_3806.jpg.html?sort=3&o=5

What type and weight are you guys using on hydraulic flat tappets??

Two original axles with green bearings installed. These only have about 5 miles on them before I decided to narrow the diff and put moser axles in it to fit the big MT's in the tub job. These are in excellent condition, all you will need is inner seals. Make me an offer by PM. Shipping will...

Well we have to put the big tires on sooner or later. Today I pulled out the diff and cut 3.25 inches off each side, then beveled the cut edges so that I will get a good penetrating weld in it. I did it on a band saw over at the race car shop. I don't have jig so after discussing it with...

With the 4.10 gears and the 29" diameter tires I am going with a 38 tooth speedo pinion. I've never put one in before. Is there anything else I need to replace along with it. thanks B

In February I ordered a new set of 15 x 12 cragar 4.5 backset along with some 30" mickey thompson for the bird. I wait, and wait, and wait then they call and say April 20th. Nope not there on that day....wait....more waiting 2 weeks, nope still not in last week they say Monday. I go Monday...

What would be best. If I took out my 8-3/4 and wanted to put in a Dana. Instead of buying new which would be the best vehicle to seek out at a salvage yard to pull a Dana out of and set it up for the RR. Probably a truck of some kind??

Now that the bird is practically finished off I am planning for another project. Like I've said before my favorite two cars are the 69 Runner and a 68 Charger RT. Now I need the Charger. Very rare here in Canada and even if it's a pile of rust the owners think they belong on Barrett Jackson...

Well winter is just about here and the weather is turning crappy. Put the bird in storage for the weekend and will have to wait until March to get it out. Was a great year driving it. Looks fabulous, lots of shows and lots of great reactions. The best reaction was so far is coming back to...

Here are some great pics of some nostalgic stuff. Have fun. http://picasaweb.google.com/11489823318 ... eat=email#

Took the bird to a car show today...(and the cops left us alone). The bird did real well. The crowd gets to pick the best in class and I had lots and lots of people and photographers taking picks of the bird and voting it as best in class. I don't know how it did in the wrap up because I...

So I'm going to 15" on the rear. I have Cragar SS 14 x 8 rims with 3.5" back set all around. Seeing that I have mini-tubbed it I need to add 3.5 to the inside because I didn't narrow the differential. I like the cragar but they don't make an SS with a 7" back-set which is what I need. So I...

Here in my City the police are busting any hot rod, classic car for absolutely anything. When there is a car show they set up a temporary inspection site within a few blocks of the show. When cars pull out they are taken to the site and the car is inspected up on ramps. If the car has any...

And I couldn't help myself.....burnout time. Absolutely awesome, wish I had my camera. With 410 gears this baby kicks. What a pile of fun. :drive: :drive: :party: :party: :party: :party:

With 3.5" of mini-tub added how much meat can I jam in there. I suspect a 30 inch tire with 13inch tread on a 15" rim. What would the back space be on the rim????. I think George has the answer.

When putting green bearings on does the thrust block spacer need to be removed on a 489? :huh:

I took my dif into a shop to get the bearings pressed off the old dif and put onto the new. the bearings are in great shape. They said 120 bucks, I said great. They phone me back and say can't press off the bearings because it will bugger the the cage, and now want 400 bucks to put on new...

Well I finally got up enough guts to do this. I narrowed 3-1/2" per side. I squared up everything on the from the front torsion bar frame which worked great. I made my own hangers and only wanted the hole. I used 12" 3.5" x 3.5" and marked it out on the frame. You can see a little notch at...

Just tacked in my front relocation hangers and want to make sure that they are perfectly in line with the shackles. When I took the springs out they were 1/4" wider than the front at the hangers. My friend tells me they are supposed to be 1" wider at the shackle perch? Anybody have experience...

Anyone know what the exact inside width of the leaf spring hanger bracket should be. I am going to fabricate my own to weld in a cut-out of the frame (to narrow the springs) instead of buying them. Pretty simple to make. The old bolts ons were spread quite a bit when I took them off the...
