The pics with the car on the trailer are from the day I towed it home. It had no drivetrain when I originally bought it. The photos of the car in pieces show its current condition.

1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS - Flint, Michigan  600 hp 454ci big-block, true dual exhaust w/ custom cross member, TH350 automatic, chrome Cragar wheels, fancy leather electric BMW seats, and plenty more. As you can see from the photos, this car is partially disassembled and requires...

Does anyone here know where I could look on-line to find a nice fiberglass topper for my Dodge Ram? I have been looking on eBay and some Yahoo classifieds, but I thought there may be a specific site for used truck accessories.

My dad owns a 1968 Chevelle with a pretty basic carbed 350, putting out about 300 hp. Right now he's running a TH350, but he wants something with overdrive. Naturally, as a Chevy man, he went running straight for the 700r4's. I think the 200r4 is a better choice; it's the same size as the...

NEW PROBLEM! I was just about ready to drop the engine in for good, and I happened to notice two small holes in the intake manifold, one on each end. The hole on the side of the intake with the throttle body is threaded, and the hole on the side with the supercharger pulley is smooth. I...

This green oil I'm talking about came out of my oil pan, not the supercharger itself. It was odd looking, though-- usually when there's coolant in the oil, it stays sort of separated looking, since oil and water can't really mix into one another. This stuff, though, was literally like green...

Okay, new problem-- When I was draining the old oil out of the supercharged engine the other night, it came out really green for the first few seconds. This leads me to believe that there was obviously some coolant in my oil pan. The thing is is that this engine has never even been in a...

Well, believe it or not, I actually had the engine in the car tonight, minus all the bracketry on the front of it. I didn't think that the oil filter mount from the supercharged engine was going to clear the subframe of the Regal, but once I had actually lowered the engine in there I saw that...

Well, I was able to swap the motor mounts from the old engine to the new one pretty easy. So now the engine should slip into the car just fine. However... The supercharger is right in the way of where the alternator used to be mounted. This is turning into way bigger a mess than I ever...

Well, the old engine is finally out. There was no way to get that damn bolt from the passenger side wheel-well. Even if there was, a 20-inch extention wouldn't have been anywhere near long enough. I had one just over thirty inches, and it still wouldn't reach. So, I had to just lift the...

No, I hadn't planned on swapping the computer. I was told by ACE Conversions that the two engines-- naturally aspirated and supercharged-- both use the same harness and the only difference in the computer is one interchangable chip. Run a wire pair to boost control and swap in the factory chip...

I'm in the process of installing a SC3800 into my 1992 Buick Regal Grand Sport. The supercharged engine I'm using is also a 1992, from a Pontiac Bonneville. Right now I'm just about ready to hook the engine crane up to my old 3800 still in the Regal. The ONLY thing I have left to take off...
