my worst mod ever was before my cruiser days. i had a full size truck on 1 tons and 38" swampers. found a set of rockwells and 44s for it so i pulled out all the 1 ton stuff (which worked perfect), fabbed up a bunch of stuff, mounted the rockwells and the truck never worked the same again. the springs were way too stiff and i snapped the rockwell shafts way too easy. never again. 
like mine did?

have you ever seen a rockwell shaft? they're not that big compared to the rest of the axle assembly.
and you've got some balls to call me a BSer.
fwiw, one time i broke a rear was at mud-n-yer-eye in hollister. it's a cruiser event so i'm sure somebody on here remembers it. i still took it all the way thru the mud pit. guess the BB helped, or maybe it did'nt.
we used the outer half of the snapped shaft as an ash tray in the shop for a few year, lost it when i moved.

I think the worst mod I did was a 350/h42 combo. Not enough torque to play in the rocks with.

they open to let in air so naturaly one of my daughters opened one
going down the road and---there it went crashin'to the side of the highway in pieces..

For me it was the LCAH shackle reverse kit - DAMN ROCK FINDERS!

I went with their brackets, and didn't have any problems. I hear alot of negative about them, but never an issue for me, I never had any issues with M-A-F come to think of it. Not trying to pimp their stuff, just stating I never had any issues.
On topic though. Custom roof rack would be my worst mod. Not that the rack was crafted bad, quite the opposite. Problem for me was I went soft top, and had no use for it. It is still in my back yard to this day collecting rust. Should have spent that $$ on a front locker. But hindsight is 20/20.
After that would be my experiment with Fuel Injection. I think I had pix here or on Pirate. I tried Holley Pro-Jection on an Offenhauser intake. Theory was sound, But I couldn't tune it to save my ass. Actually it ran great for a while, then suddenly it went to poop! running the Weber 38DGAS now, again. I am sure I have done other things I wish I hadn't, but nothing that stands out.
Any thoughts on making this a Sticky?
Are you intrested in selling that roof rack?green73 said:
post a pic and let me know. I've been looking for one. Thanks, Greg
POS Rancho leaf springs. 
3 slabs of 3/4"-thick steel that make me daydream of my pending SOA.

i'm not a big fan of headers in anything but a drag car. enough said.
Provided flange and head is milled flat headers will seal very well. Have never had a header leak on the cruiser, however, I also believe it's easier to seal a small block than it is an F or 2F just because of the mounting design.
Worst mod ... this isn't one of those "I wish I hadn't" but instead one of those "if I do this again". I really love the engine I'm running now but next one will be a turbodiesel.
