This issue just came up after replacing the head gaskets. It ran great before, but I would imagine when I took off the manifold I could have done something to the carb.

352FE with cruiseomatic to 4 speed

OK, I tried to do a search, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. I have a 352 FE that I would like to run the 4 speed on but need to know if anyone has done it and how difficult is it? Not only the trans, but the clutch pedal assembly as well. Am I better off just changing to the C6? I t...

I have a 65 352 fe with the same setup and i am running the doug thorleys on mine, ceramic coat keeps the heat away from the starter so no matter what you buy, get ceramic, it will help protect the starter.

352 COOLANT LEAK

I was just running around town and noticed a leak. I crawled underneath and it is on the passenger side at the rear of the block, dripping down the block and front of the transmission. I had hoped it was a coolant line but have not had the time to get in there and check. I was cruising through a thr...

The header does exit before the cross member but it shoots out over the cross member. Due to some clearance issues on other applications the passenger side points a bit toward the transmission but the collector just has to be positioned correctly on the exhaust pipe to clear everything well. Also, I...

Alright it has been a while since I last posted but we put the headers on my truck and I wanted to put some miles on it before I said anything. My main concern was that the starter would get smoked due to the header being close to it, but I opted for ceramic finish and it has not been an issue. I wi...

Isn't there some saying about copying being the best form of a compliment? Hell, mine is even a long bed, but it is root beer brown. After that I have some ideas for paint, maybe flat black? :lol: Just messing with you!!!! although flat black with red and white pinstripes would be an idea :shock:

factory wheels with bottlecap hubcaps

I have a set of 4 on my truck right now with almost new tires. I just ordered a new set of wheels, if everything goes well, I will be selling the set. Anyone interested?
