I.D. Small Block Chevy

Fri, 04 Jun 2004 15:00:03 +0000

Hey all you chevy gurus - Is there a quick and easy way to tell if a small block chevy engine is indeed a 350 with out digging up the casting number, or any of that type stuff?? I am looking at an old van (for the motor) and the guy says "I'm pretty sure it's a 350." Well I'd kinda like to know with some certainty BEFORE I buy it.
Thanks!

Anyone try this?

Fri, 11 Jun 2004 22:37:55 +0000

Look at this stuff, I see this golf cart everywhere. Itâ€™s called Mirrachrome looks pretty good for a chrome paint. Anyone try it yet? I saw on their page a bunch of other crazy paints as well.

52 Chevy Pickup

Sat, 26 Jun 2004 23:20:55 +0000

As of october 2003, I've been an owner of a 52 Chevy Pickup with a V8 automatic 350 HP 1980 camaro engine. I've never ran the engine yet because I'm still piecing together certain parts.
One Problem that I am encountering is that my steering wheel column, which is original, has the shifter from park to reverse etc. I am having trouble with the linkage shifting the gears on the transmission. Where would anybody suggest that I get the transmission linkage? Or does anybody has a better idea?

Need conversion help

Sat, 10 Jul 2004 20:22:00 +0000

I have a 1966 chevy pick-up. When I bought it the gas tank had already been moved to the rear driver side fender. The problem is that I have my original in-dash gauge which measures out at 30 ohms and the new fuel cell measures out at 90 ohms... I dont want to change the original gauge.. can anyone help me to figure out what to do to make the original gauge work... the only thing I have come up with is installing 60 ohms worth of resistors.. email beersexchpsngrav@aol.com

Chevrolet Corvair Monza 1964

Sun, 10 Oct 2004 11:49:52 +0000

I am unfortunatley selling my Chevy due to other commitments. It is in very good condition both interior and exterior.The paint has started to lift slightly upon the bonnet and therefore needs a respray, this is the only part of the car that does though. It is tax exempt and has 7 months MOT remaining. She is a good driver and comes complete with some spares and magazine history. It is a beautiful car but needs a good home and tlc. It is situated in West Midlands UK so shipping has to be mentioned and should be paid for by the buyer. It has leather vinyl interior with a fully working NOS radio. The car has had a recent engine retune, new carbs, new battery and runs like a dream.
Any offers around Â£3500 considered

Door poppers on a 60 vette

Hey, new to the board and I've just got a general question.

I've got a 1960 corvette that I'm customizing. One of the projects I'm considering is installing door poppers and shaving the handles and locks. Has anyone done this or know of someone who has done this? Is this a feasable idea? Any thoughts on the matter? Should this be posted in one of the hot rod forums? Thanks!
