I managed to source a tool from an Ebay shop. He was mega helpful and had it despatched by next day courier at no extra charge and I got it today. He has some nifty tools so thought a link may be useful. Not too sure if he is good on price, but sometimes, as my old Dad would day "If you can't m...

A filing tool seems to be like the Holy Grail, only one came up on an Ebay shop and they are out of stock.......

Any ideas apart from getting one from the States where I can get my hands on one??

thanks

Oil Cooler & piston ring size

The car is a Model B, engine is a Chevy 383 stroker, .060 over etc. The question concerns the oil cooler. Is it possible to have too large an oil cooler? RS say a 16 row Mocal will do the job but I was thinking of using a bigger one as it is fitted horizontally between the chassis rails so it won't ...

Predator Carbs

I've read mixed opinions on running Predator carbs but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. I'm putting a pair of rebuilt Predators on the tunnel ram, one with an idle circuit and the other without. One of the Vizzard? books (the "how to obtain more horsepower" series") reckons it is a ...

Hello Sir you misunderstand me.. the best reason for sticking a tunnel ram on a 427 small block is it looks the dogs 8) . My only concern is that when you have done it you can drive the thing. Can't think of anything more dull than a dual plane manifold with a single four barrel though it would pro...

It's a roller cam .... The performer heads were bought initially for the 383. I checked with RS and they reckon they should be OK, so keep my fingers crossed. I know that I'm probably making problems for myself with the tunnel ram, but bear in mind this is an open engined 'rod ... once you've seen i...
