    98-02 Blazer spindles 2wd vs 4wd?

    Other than the holes for the shafts in 4wd spindles, does anyone know if there's any other differences in track width or anything else? I currently have the Belltech drop spindles and now my track width looks wider than I'd like. I've recently read that these Beltechs increase your track width...

    Eyeballing a Safari Wagon w/woodgrain.

    I've noticed this car for sale for quite awhile and I'm tempted to look into it. It has a 301 in it too. 20 years ago you couldn't pay me to drive anything with wood grain. I think it would look good lowered with some wheels like the one's on my GP....which still isn't done btw.

    Diesel radiator, oil and trans cooler fitting sizes?????

    This is a shot in the dark and I'll look into it further when I get home, but I have a diesel radiator for an '84 Riviera that physically fits in the Riviera, but the trans cooler lines are bigger. If anyone is familiar with what I'm talking about I'd like to know what size the fittings are so...

    Anybody know the size of the AC box screws and/or a vendor? I searched here but only found an old thread that I couldn't reply to.

    1984 Riviera 403 swap

    I seem to be drawn to the unconventional cars and have wanted to mess with one of these or a Toronado for awhile. I came across this one with a knocking 307 in it. 72k, Florida car with one repaint. Has the factory aluminum wheels that I plan leaving on (desperately need center caps!). A few...

    2004-R, B&M lock-up kit connector doesn't match correctly

    I haven't seen this before so just figured I'd post about it. Trans is a BQ from a T-type and I was installing a B&M lock-up kit. I go to plug in the 4 pin connector to the plug on the trans and the side with the clip doesn't fit into the side with the tang. Flip it over 180 degrees with the...

    Radiator support bushings THAT FIT?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction or provide a vendor/ part number that makes core support bushing that fits without modification? This is for a V8 radiator obviously. I've found a few aftermarket ones, but from the reviews I've read it seems like they all needed modification to fit...

    Radiator discussion: Plastic/aluminum vs brass/copper

    I figured I'd open a can of worms with this to get some real world opinions/experiences when it comes to radiators. Since I have a 455 Pontiac in my car, I'm putting this in the "Swap" section. I was looking at some factory style radiators, and being somewhat old-school myself, I've always...

    Buick 350 or carb'd turbo 231

    I came across a nice '79 Regal turbo that has a half assembled engine in it. Body is nice and the car has the bucket/console interior. All parts come with the car to finish it but I've never heard much about the early blow through engines. Long story short, is the engine worth putting back...

    LeMans wagon with factory buckets & console?

    Does such an animal exist or did someone get lucky and find matching GP interior at some point? I've seen a 4 door lemans with buckets, but no console. This car is beat but I've never seen a wagon set up like this from the factory. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/4739538067.html

    WTB pontiac alternator brackets

    I guess I should've posted in classifieds but I thought I'd do better in the pontiac section. I need alternator brackets if anyone has a set that they aren't too proud of. Condition doesn't matter as long as they aren't bent...rust is fine. Send a pm. Thx.

    Good exhaust set-up on Pontiac

    I figured I'd post this I case it helps anyone else down the road. My car has a Pontiac 455 with 301 motor mounts, 200-4R, and. G-force crossmember. I'm running R.A.R.E. oversized d-port RA manifolds (PN RM-1-OS ) with their 2.5" short mandrel head pipes (PN SHP-6) and Pypes 2.5" x-pipe kit...

    Who's running Pypes exhaust

    I'm looking into ordering a Pypes x-pipe kit and want to know if anyone has any input for which mufflers sound good but aren't too obnoxious (Street, race or violator). I've seen all of the sound clips, searched youtube, etc and it's just better getting a real world opinion. Thanks! According...

    Size of rear, upper shock bolts?

    Long story short, my rear shocks didn't come with new upper bolts, car is in a garage 20 minutes away and the old hardware is long gone. If anyone knows what size they are it would be helpful and it would save me another trip. Thanks!

    Pontiac 455, Edelbrock rpm intake & hood clearance?

    Anyone running a poncho mill with an Rpm intake? I don't have the engine In the car yet to do any measuring and I'd like to know if there's enough hood clearance without using a drop base air cleaner. Carb will be a Q-jet.

    Frame extension install + G-force crossmember

    I finally got around to installing my frame extension and cross member today. This is for the TH400 or 200-4R cross member on the pre-'83 G-bodies. The extension and cross member both came with bolts, washers and nylon lock nuts. It's not terribly difficult but I figured I'd do a quick write...

    Picked up another Pontiac 455

    '74 Block from a Grandville, YW code, 51 heads. Good condtion, will get the re-gasket treatment, performer intake for weight savings, a carb rebuild, same color paint, new chain and run it as is on $hit gas since it's a low CR engine. Was real clean inside, decent compression, no crusty bolts...

    Fuel system upgrade suggestions/ideas?

    The time has come to upgrade the fuel system before setting the body back onto the frame. I'm looking for input and/or ideas from what someone else may have done. I'm going from a Chevy 305, with no return, with a vapor line, 5/16" supply on the passenger side frame -to- Built Pontiac 455...
