    Car Covers

    NJTurbo, I agree, the Car Motorsports do look like outdoor covers. Most of what I looked at yesterday was Covercraft and they had some interesting items. So far it looks like it coming down to the Covercraft C9784NH Noah or the Ultrasoft Car Cover. Thanks....

    4.1 Blocks: ending with 291

    No doubt the rollers do a better job and I'd probably stay with something smaller like a 212 or possibly 218 roller for the street. Haven't been shopping for parts for some time, so could you tell me who carries the best hyd roller cam deals and/or who sells the parts? Guess no one has come up...

    4.1 Blocks: ending with 291

    The 218 sounds like a very good choice. Has anyone tried one of the rollers?

    4.1 Blocks: ending with 291

    The block was junk. The #3 main was cracked at the webbing and had cracks at three head bolt holes. I'm donating it to cool 84 due to his support. A little JB weld in the cracks and it'll be good as new. May have a line on another block. Maybe it doesn't make much difference between the...

    4.1 Blocks: ending with 291

    As for a street application, the 4.1 appears to be an excellent choice. Your posts and the additional research I've looked at are consistent. Personally, I becoming convinced that the 4.1 blocks have been seriously unestimated. The block has been dropped off for cleaning and inspection...

    4.1 Blocks: ending with 291

    Thanks getchasum. I was going to leave that block for the crusher but I'll make a trip to the bone yard tomorrow morning to see if it has any cylinder damage. The mains appeared good. I bent the flywheel like a pretzel attempting to break the crankpully bolt free with a 3/4" breaking bar and...

    Almost forgot, the phone number of anyone who knows these blocks would also be a great help.

    4.1 Blocks: ending with 291

    Does anyone have any information on the quality of one of these blocks. Pulled one yesterday only to find a destroyed rolled fillet crank, several shattered rod caps, and what resembled very stressed bearings in the pan. The block itself may be all right but before I salvage it, I wanted to...

    Front Rotor Width - .810 or 1.25

    Took the measuremens last night - 1.25". Much wider than expected. Thanks for your reply.

    Blow off valve

    I wish they would outlaw this subject. Regardless of what anyone says, BOV's work great on our cars by improving drivability - they offer no HP gains and I have doubts about any real benefits for surge protection. Find someone who knows how to set them up and see the before and after...

    Front Rotor Width - .810 or 1.25

    Does anyone know the width of the front rotors off the top of you head? I was asked it it was .810' or 1.25" and I'm inclined to go with the .810" but I don't have a way of measuring it right now. I need to get this info asap. Thanks...

    Blow off Valve, good or bad for GN?

    Where I live there are many roads on the edge of town and in the fields that are better than any track you’ve driven on. We never race near traffic and control the environment very closely in a safe and responsible manner. Most of us are over 40 and if you do or attempt to do something stupid...

    Blow off Valve, good or bad for GN?

    I knew this would happen!!!! Woody, did I say I raced the car on the street at it's full power levels. Try something novel like attempting to understand the subject matter and avoid your worthless criticisms about something you know nothing about. Go the ford page if you want to babble.

    Blow off Valve, good or bad for GN?

    salvageV6, no one has beaten me with this trick either but it is still a pain to have to run them down rather than handing them their tail on the spot. One other thought where the BOV has been worth its weight in gold. Ever done a hard pull and had to hit the brakes real hard immediately...

    Blow off Valve, good or bad for GN?

    BOVs can be a good thing... I always avoid this subject because people get real polarized over it. I'm an old timer like TurboDave (only better looking) but I've had great results with BOVs like the one sold by ATR. The advantage of this unit is that you can "T" into the wastegate hose and...

    Stock Front Disks & Pads - Drilled / Slotted

    I've found a number of places offering stock replacement front disks and pads for the Buicks. Has there ever been a consensus as to the best vendor and part? Also, has anyone found an upgrade to our calipers? Thanks....
