Transmission alternatives for a 308?

Dry Clutch
Well my buddy has done some research on it and we are going to meet up today to go over what he thinks. Though I am not crazy about the column shift, I want to keep the car origional appearing so I am going to stay with it. So hopefully that part wi…

Dry Clutch
Having worked as an industrial mechanic in the past I am quite aware of wet clutches and there advantages. My thing here is that if it was so good, why didn't anyone else use it and why did they change to a dry clutch in 55? With the Jet even e…

New Hudson High performance Aluminum Head now available

Building the 308
Well on head milling I can warn you not to go too far. I put my motor together with a 262 head that I milllled to obtain an 8.7 to 1 ratio. Ran good for 21 miles then the head failed right over the number 1 cylinder. Blew right into the thermostat a…
