  7. I recently put a built 351W in my fastback acouple months ago and all was good, drove it yesterday and when I hit it, it was as iff I had my foot on the brake for a few seconds and then it took off, when I let off it sounded as if a turbo was spooling down, and also after this when I parked and restart car its as if, starter doesn't engage the same way, the torque converter is a TCI 2400-2600 stall. had this in the car with a mildly built 302 and never had a problem in over 2 years, trans is a C4 with only mod is shift kit, thanks for any help

  18. i have an 88 5.0 in my 69, stock bottom end with a crane roller cam, 520 int and 542 exh, duration is 278/286, roller lifters and roller rockers, stock heads, i'm wanting to put some edelbrock rpm heads on with 2.02/ 1.60 valves and 60 cc combustion chambers, pistons are fly cut but wondering if anyone has used these without valve reliefs
  19. did you buy a stroker kit for your cleveland, or did the builder recomend the internals, have a cleveland i'm looking to stroke
  20. for those that have replaced the original steering what did you do with, power rack and pinion, manual rack? Does the manual rack turn easier than regular manual steering, I took it for a long cruise today and i have to do something soon
  21. question about bump steer on my 69, it has power steering and recently had it aligned but when driving down the road and hit cracks in road it seems to want to shift one side or the other, is this normal? my 65 coupe had manual steering and seemed to be nice and and tight. all front end parts are good or have been replaced
