I have two old machinists, both claiming to know what's best, one is 92 and sharp as a tack and the other 73. I have a Holley 2 barrel that appears to need a good cleaning. One says two oil the springs (...

Was just on another site, where there was a discussion about Rotella motor oil. I'm understanding that it still has zinc added, although in smaller quantities than it used to be. Figured this would be beneficial for my 352 FE engine. True or false??

Welding in mounts would be no problem.Any one have any ideas of were I can get some measuremen...

I have a 1971 nova and think it would be more fun to drive if I took the original stock 350 out and matched the M22 with a built 350 but I would like to keep it old school. My question is can I built one cheaper than getting a create block with some HP added.
