Speed costs money; how fast do you want to go? In other words, how much money do you want to spend. That's the deciding factor. You'll get the...
Ditto.
I'll go against the grain and recommend 3.25 gears. Yes, you'll notice an improvement in acceleration, especially if you're replacing 2.79s, and...
Just a thought, but if you tie those front bars to the subframe connectors, it will stiffen it up more.
If you're switching to a carb you don't need that high psi pump. A simple electric fuel pump from any of the parts houses will supply the fuel....
If the new standard flow pump doesn't fix the problem, then there's a leak in the engine. Bearings, gallery plug, etc.
We are in agreement on the 400. Not a good option for the Mav. The dyno test I saw used the Edelbrock Performer with the 4V heads. Even though...
The short answer is yes. However, I haven't researched which ones yet. I'm sure there's someone here who has done the swap who can fill us in.
To add a bit to what Ratio411 said, the W and C have the same transmission bolt pattern. The M has the 429/460 bolt pattern. The M has a 1.10"...
Just a word of caution. Lowering the front end by cutting spring coils will reduce the available travel of the front suspension before it bottoms...
What Paul said!
Here's the bottom line: without oil pressure the engine won't survive. The oil pump may look OK but not provide the pressure. And, it may look OK...
I'll see if I can scan it and e-mail it.
Marti Seth, received the Marti report today. It confirms the GT Appearance Group and Red Tweed Vinyl Roof. It was bought originally in Boise, ID...
Both Summit and Jeg's sells assembled Edelbrock Performer RPM heads for $1110 plus shipping. Patriot Performance sells their assembled heads...
I'm with BMc. You'll eat up $800 reworking a set of stocker iron heads. A couple hundred more will buy you a set of aftermarket aluminums that...
I had to move the perches to install the '58 9" in my '74 Mav. Not a big deal. The overall width for the '58 rear is a little over an inch...
What PaulS said.
I'll go against the flow here and say changing the rear gears will give you the most seat-of-the-pants increase. 25 more horsepower from headers,...
1. Replace the oil pump. If the pressure doesn't return, then 2. Pull the main caps and check the bearings. If they check out OK, then 3. Pull...
