Both me and my brother both have a Bendpak XPR-10A. Neither have had any problems. When I was looking, I liked the rotary a lot, but was quite a bit more. However, my brothers bendpak looked like it was built well and had been holding up good. It was cheaper, so I decided on it to. I have had...

I ended up getting a Bendpak/Ranger RTJ-1 1 ton 2 stage from summit. It ended up being 550 with free shipping. Really the only thing that sold me on it was the fact that bendpak sells replacement parts for it. I don't really like buying things you can't get parts for. I called a few other places...

I am looking to get a 2 stage transmission jack to use with my lift. I am looking for something around $500 middle of the line. For those who use them often, what do you have and is it holding up? Thanks

Look up spoolfool on the forum. He sells a sweet one piece rear filler.

TA has already made them. They come with a bolt on weight to be balanced externally if that's what you want to do. I picked one up to replace by cracked one when I built my short block. They are a really nice looking piece and a good bit cheaper then the BHJ.

I just ordered a set of Molnar rods. I had my cart ready and was about to check out and remembered the forum specials section. I figured I would check it out just for the hell of it... and what do you know!!! Saved 50 something bucks. Thanks!!!!!! I'll probably end up just giving it back anyways.:)

We are going to go ahead and bore it .020 over and start fresh. Like, I said, I just want it to be right. Just trying to get as much info as I can. On another note, does anyone have any experience with the Molnar rods?

I'm not cheaping out on anything. I just didn't want to bore a block that didn't need it. I just want it to be right. That's the reason I posted. If it needs bored I will bore it no big deal. It is a lot of money, that's why I ask questions and find out as much as I can. Thanks for the replys...

Do any of the TB vendors sell a standard JE piston? I'm not seeing none on the sites. Several carry the std. Diamonds but not the JE's. I will get that info from my machinist and get a diameter on a std. Diamond and JE and see if it will work. Is one preferred over the other? Posted from the...

I don't have the pistons yet. I was waiting on some feedback to determine whether to bore or not. My machinist said if it was his he would run it. He is well respected and I trust him, but I would like to hear from others here. However, if it is bored, he would need the pistons before he honed...

Yes, stock rotating assembly to a forged crank, billet steel rods, and forged pistons...

What bore taper is within spec on these blocks? The machine shop just checked my bore and all cylinders have a taper between 0.002 and 0.003. Its got a forged steel crank with 3 billet caps. I need to get my rods and pistons. I don't want to bore it if it doesn't need it. So what is within spec...

If its an option get a dog. With a heavy door, padlock, alarm, and motion lights combined with a good guard dog you should be fine. Like was said, if someone wants it bad enough, they will get it. However, most won't even bother if there is a dog around. It don't even have to be mean. It just...

I believe both the stock length and the longer arms both have the same bushings. I already have the HR bar, built rear, etc. The car is only a mid 11 second car at the moment, but in the process of a motor build. However, I am still running the car while we're building the motor. I still have...

I have a question about HRs LCA's. On the HR website it says they are recommended for high horsepower cars with limited street use. I know the longer arms will affect the pinion angle, but it can be adjusted back with adjustable uppers. So why not use for a street car application to help...
