Ethical problem
(Preview)
This is potentially the cheapest, quickest and most value added engine swap I ever did, except for the fact that it is WRONG! Seriously was there any external difference between the 396 and the 390 horse 427 in 1966? The only thing I'm aware of is that dual exhaust was standard on the 427 and optional o...

Sudden Transmnission Leak - Any Ideas Why???
(Preview)
When I parked our Buick wagon awhile back, there were no visable leaks - oil or coolant. Several weeks after it was parked, I noticed a good sized puddle of transmission fluid under the car as if it had dumped out seveal liters of oil. This happened almost literally overnight - it was not a puddle of oi...

CP'ers, I'm getting close to making a transmission decision, I have a budget of around $2000. My original thinking was to go with a overdrive, a 700R4 with a 2000 stall lockup converter. A TCI streetfighter and a TCI converter, with the requisite cooler, TV cable etc. I've already moved my trans...

Electric cooling fan find.

A friend was over a few days ago and we ended up talking about cooling. He runs a small garage in a town close by, and is a bonified car guy. I told him I now have an all aluminum rad, and that I'd like to eventually run some electric fans. He took a look at the rad and said right now they have a 99' Neon that is too...

After about 150 miles of trouble free driving in the last couple of weeks, the Laurentian started to run hot last night.
