I am looking at buying an older diesel backhoe to do a bunch of dirt work on a piece of property I am buying. My question isn't about what tractor to get, but rather what is the best way to combat the ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels? Just as ethanol is bad for our older gas engines, low sulfur...

Anyone know of a machine shop in the Syracuse, NY area that can redrill axle flanges and also machine down the part center flange where the wheel and rotor fit over? I am putting a Ford 8.8 in my old Hybrid project, and need to 5x4.75 pattern drilled and also the shoulder machined to fit the...

So for my little hybrid project I needed a strong rear end that was fairly cheap for me to obtain/build. I tried a rear end out of a late model chevy blazer, but that was too wide by about 2 inches for the wheel/tire combo I wanted. I would have had to run a very narrow tire on it. Even...

Is anyone going to or bringing their car to the Syracuse Nationals this weekend?

For my '62 Buick Special SW hybrid I am working on, I want to use T-Type wheels on all 4 corners for this build. I am a little concerned about the width of the stock wheels. I was wondering if anyone has ever had these wheels narrowed before? If you have had the wheels narrowed, who did you...

Hey guys, I have been a member on this site for a few years now. I was going to list this engine for sale on the forum, but I don't have a high enough post count to comply with the rules. So, I listed the engine for sale on eBay and will post the link here. If this doesn't fit in the rules...

Not posting this to get in a battle about gun bans or no bans. I am putting this up there, because some doucher killed 2 volunteers who both also had other critical rolls in a community. This isn't very far from where I live, and I have many friends that are volunteer fire fighters and LEO's...

Does anyone here have any experience selling on Gunbroker?? I have a once used WASR-10 AK47 that I want to sell to buy a new pistol or shotgun. I shoot at my parents property, but am not comfortable shooting the 7.62 ammo without a proper back stop. The shotgun and pistol ammo gives much more...

I'm not sure if this is a repost or not. If it is I apologize. I don't know how much this process costs to do yourself, but it is a possible alternative to have parts "rechromed" or "chromed" for the first time to accessorize you own car. I am always impressed with the new techniques and...

Does anyone have any experience with American Eagle or Champion radiators?? I know they are made overseas in an Asian country, but the 2-row all aluminum design is appealing for my hybrid project.

I am looking to see if anyone has any damaged not serviceable intercoolers they are willing to part with. I need to figure out what style/size intercooler I want to run for my hybrid project. Looking for options to use for mockups. It can be stock, SLIC, FMIC.... at this point i'm not picky...

Instead of making a million threads when I have a questions for my build, I will start my own thread and will just post questions in here. I'm in the process of putting together a LC2 powered 1962 Buick Special station wagon hybrid. I am getting ready to drop in the engine for mock ups and...

Hello all I have three plugs on my hot air harness I am looking to identify. The first two are (1) 4 pin male weather pak and (2) 3 pin male weather pak connector. These two plugs are coming out of the same part of the wiring harness as the C100 bulkhead connector. The last plug I need...

Does anyone know what serpentine belt will fit if you delete the A/C and the power steering? And if I do still need to use delete pulleys has anyone done the homework to find out what pulleys will do the job?? This is for a Turbo Buick hybrid project and will be utilizing a manual rack and...

So I got the boat ready for its first launch of the 2011 season last weekend. I put the muffs on it fed the outdrive some water and the boat started up great with just a splash of gas dumped into the carb. I ran the boat for about 25-30 minutes and it was flawless, with several slow throttle...

I am looking for a complete and used 86-87 stock turbo or TA-49. I'm not looking for a working piece. I need one for mock ups for installing the engine/turbo/intercooler combo into my 1962 Buick Special. If you have one you are willing to part with please shoot me a PM.

Engine builders and machinists: Is there a brand of micrometers and dial calipers that you recommend?? I am not looking for mega bucks here. I want to be able to make accurate measurements. Just like any other tool available there are obvious quality differences. I don't need fancy high...

I have heard many people talk about the Power Source Manual and the How to Hot Rod your Buick V6 books and they are usually very expensive. With how expensive they are you don't want to use it or get it dirty..... Well this may be violating some sort of copyright laws but a quick google search...

For right now I am a tenant and rent a duplex. I hate renting as it is pretty much just throwing money out the window. My parents have offered to give me some of the land that they own to build a home on when I am ready. I am expecting that time to be in the next couple years because...
