    So I don't have a computer and I do all my updates via my mobile phone. Just upgraded to HTC 4g LTE, but when I try to upload pics it says my attachment is invalid. Wasn't sure if anyone else had this issue and figured it out. Or if I need to switch my settings. Any help is welcome, thanks in...

    87 IROC-Z 5spd resrto-mod.

    So I picked up this 87 iroc stick for 700 bucks on Sunday. It had been sitting for 2 years on a trailer with a blown 383, I got the complete blown motor and a 80-85 350 with a cam and flat top pistons. I also got a newish clutch. I think I'm going to just put a stock 305 TPI in and then port it...

    The Question is in the title, saw a turbo regal hood on Craigslist for like 100$. I've herd the doors are interchangeable but are the hoods? Thought it might be a cool mod for my 79 cutty.

    700R4 lost 3rd and 4th, whats the best rebuild kit?

    My 700 won't shift into 3rd or 4th gear... This happened to me before in an 89 IROC I had. I just replaced the whole thing before but now I want to just have this one rebuilt or do it myself. How hard is it to throw new bands on it? And pull everything apart, and maybe do a shift kit in it...

    fusable link fried by my headlights... any thoughts why?

    So pretty much the story is in the title. Was cruising last night and noticed I couldnt see the guy in front of me. I've seen a couple posts similar to this but no solutions that seemed legit. I haven't done any changes to the wiring they just started to flicker and then they died. The link...

    Fender rolling... anyone do it, any downsides?

    I have a "new" set of old school cragar rims that are looking mighty fine on my 79' cutty but the rears are about an inch too wide and will rub when I have a full tank of gas and/or go over big bumps on the freeway. My car had the trim around the wheel wells, I was thinking that might cause and...

    79' Cutlass. Over due budget build, LT1, 700r4, etc.

    I've been on the forum for a few years now and I'm always looking at other peoples builds and have got some good inspiration. I have done a lot of work to my ride over the years and I feel I should have been keeping better records for myself and everyone else out there trying to flex their...

    SBC flowtech longtube headers, anyone use em'?

    Was looking at some cheap 140$ summit racing flow tech headers for my LT1 cutlass. I used the flowtech shorties but they rub on the passenger side control ARM. Weak. Anyone use the long tubes with any issues? Does the LT1 have a slightly different angle on the header mounting surface? Or should...

    LS1 transmission options

    I've got a 79 cutty with an LT1/700r4 but I noticed I'm getting some moisture in the oil so I'm thinking of dropping in a 5.3LS1 style motor with the carb setup. Question: will the 5.3 bolt up to my 700r4 directly and will the flywheel for the LS mate up with the 700s torque coverter no...

    V8 vs V6 springs

    I have a Cutlass, had a 260. Now has an LT1. Will the V6 springs work better with the lighter LT1? The front currently sits too high and is super stiff. Just want a nice stock look and ride back.

    How much does a 3.8L wiegh?

    Need to compare my LT1 wieght to 3.8 My stock springs had to front end too high and super stiff but it was for the stock 260 V8. I'm hoping the 3.8 springs will bring it down a little and give me a better ride. I cut the stock springs and actually made the "ride" better up front. However it...

    fuel gauge always on empty, gauge ground is hot... why?

    So my fuel gauge is always on empty in my 79 Cutlass. If I unplug the red wire at the tank nothing happens. If I pull the gauge and move the needle to full then plug it back in it immediately goes to E... I have a FSM, not the chiltons dummy manual. I tested the ground at the back of the gauge...

    cragar ss uni-lug question.

    I picked up a set of cragars the other day with uni-lug pattern. It's for a 79 cutty, I know it needs the 7/16 thread side lug nuts but does anyone know how long the shank of the uni-lug need to be to get a proper seat? The rim style is a 14x7 I believe. They are fairly old. Reverse off set.
