    Drag Radial driving impressions?

    I need some tires to use at the track. My first thought was using some 26" ET streets on some 8" rallies I have. Now I'm considering buying some 255/50/16 BF Goodrich Drag Radials on my 16 x8 rims. How do the BFG DR's do as far as handling? Treadwear? Before you make a...

    I found a set of aluminum drums in pretty good shape. I wanted to make them look like they would have when new. Anybody have some ideas or should I just paint them with some aluminum paint from Eastwoods?

    twin turbo sbc V8 ?

    I probably just daydreaming but... how feasible is it to turbo charge a small block chevy in my Monte SS. I have a friend that did a twin turbo 306 sbf in a Thunderbird but it is EFI car. I was thinking of using a carb box from Vortech. But what can I do for headers. Shorty headers for a...

    Max Backspacing ????

    Just curious what kinda backspacing can I run on my Monte SS. I thought it would be cool to run 17x9.5 out back and 17x8 up front. I know 17x8 with 4" backspace will fit all around with no problem. I figured I would need 5" backspacing for the rear. Also thought about running ZR1 wheels...

    Pics of a Hot Air Setup???

    I just bought an '84 GN that came in pieces! Any one have pics of their motor so I can get an idea how it goes together? I've never messed with a TR before so I would apreciate (sp?) and hints, tips, of advice about putting it back together. It would be a shame if I had to put a V8 in it so I...

    BRF vs. CZF ?

    I have a Monte SS w/a CZF transmission. Is the BRF much different? I've been told that the BRF has a higher stall convertor and a different valve body. I have a chance to get a BRF trans and I would be putting it behind a 355 SBC.

    Speaker suggestions (5.25)

    I got a set of door panels from a Regal w/the "concert series" stereo that I'm putting in my SS. For those of you who have these door panels what speakers have you used and how did they fit? It looks like a tight fit! I need suggestions on component speakers that can take 60-70 watts RMS yet...

    Should I buy this '84 GN????

    I have the chance to buy a '84 GN for $1000. But it is not worth restoring in my opinion. Is this too much for a parts car? I want the rearend if it is a 8.5 for my Monte Carlo SS. How many GN's were built in '84? Should I feel guilty for parting out a rare car?
