    Steering Box and Pizza cutters

    Good evening all, I have run into a bit of a snag and was hoping I could get some help. I have a steering box that has been getting sloppier and sloppier. Since I knew it was only a matter of time, I found a used and seemingly tight used box. I bought it from the classifieds here. It was...

    Throttle linkage help needed.

    Hello everyone. I am back again hoping for some help and opinions. I am doing an sbc/sm465 swap and doing the last finishing touches. I built this custom accelerator linkage and thought it was pretty cool, but when I went to try it the pedal only moved about an inch. So, I left a little slack...

    V8 Cooling with a fan shroud

    Ok, I know V8 cooling has been covered to death on this site, but this is a different question. I am designing my fan shroud currently and have the option to use aluminum or steel. The cost of the aluminum is about 3 times as much as the steel, but probably looks a little better. What I am...

    sbc and sm465 clutch arm question.

    Does anyone run their setup on the outermost pivot hole instead of the inner pivot hole. I have been thinking and trying to come up with a solution how to mount the slave cylinder bracket for over two weeks now and haven't been able to come up with anything I like. If I could run it on the...

    SBC help

    Hi everyone. I am still plodding away at my engine and tranny swap. There is a mysterious hole near the oil filter and I am not sure what it is for. It is right next to another plug. What is this mysterious hole and what are the thread sizes? All the plugs I buy won't fit. Any help would be...

    Driveshaft angle question

    Hi everyone, I got another question. I am doing a SBC conversion with a sm465 transmission and a stock 3spd. l/c transfer case. This is going into a 73 cruiser. I forgot to check before I pulled the old setup, but I am assuming the driveline went in a straight line from the front axle to the...

    Wanted  AA propeller mount for a 40

    Looking for an Advanced Adapters Transfer Case Mount, the propeller type. I only need the main piece so if that is all you have, that is fine.

    Sbc Fans: Flex, non-clutched, or clutched?

    What do you guys run? Do you like the setup? Would you do the same way if you did it again? Why did you pick that setup? Give us your opinions... I have been kinda leaning towards going with a non-clutched flex fan. thanks, john

    Show off your sm465/ sm420 tranny or transfer mounts.

    This is an area I could use some help in. I am still trying to decide which direction I want to go on these mounts. I would like to see how everyone built or bought theirs and what they think of them. It looks like the propeller mount is the easiest, but I hear a lot of people say they dislike...

    How much horse power does one cruiser guy need?

    So, I am doing a sbc350 swap with a sm465 behind it. I have been pouring through craigslist looking for possible engines and came across something interesting. You can actually look up an engines vin and see what hp it puts out. The one I am looking at is out of a 75 truck and puts out 165 hp...

    Poss. to put a carb on a tbi engine?

    I am contemplating doing a 350 sbc conversion and do not want anything to do with a computer in my 40. I also noticed that newer 350 motors with tbi are quite numerous and cheap. Can I simply change the intake manifold and drop a carb on top? Or is that completely asinine? I have outsmarted...

I was wondering if anyone knew what this wire was supposed to go to. 1) It is on the passenger side right before the coil. 2) It is in a section of the wiring harness that is...
