1955 Starchief restoration, w/o motor, what fits?
I agree please don't put a chevy motor in a pontiac. I have a 55 and the combo you are looking at is a good one I put the 400 in mine and love it, I wish I would have went with the 700R4 rather than the th400 for the over drive. Yo…

engine swap
I'm surprised you haven't ran in to other issues, the pre 70 400's had a different motormount hookup too. I put a 70 400 in my 55 Pontiac and of course had to do some major mods to get it to work. but now I have to assure I go post 7…

1953 Pontiac Chieftain Engine swap?
I have a 55 that I put a 400 in... I think the 455 would be a great choice for you in the area you are looking. I don't know of any conversion kits, I used the front motor mount and then had to weld in others and used 76 Firebird mounts to the …

OK I may be wrong... proably am, but I thought that the 55 had the 287 in it and the 316 didn't come out till 56... Anyway keep an eye on Ebay, there are exhaust manifolds coming up there all the time, and they usually sell pretty cheap. I swa…

Radio installation on a 72 Monte Carlo

66 chevelle or 69 camaro?
it must be the one you would want to work on and live with... any old car is never done being worked on. so it has to be the one you REALLY REALLY want or you may tire of it shortly. Never pick a car by what is wrong or right with it, if it's t…

i inherited a '54 corvette... help?
one thing you need to do is have soneone... A vette expert look over the parts. What would be bad is to put 30 or 40K into it then find out you didn't have a "quite" complete car, and have to start spending more to find the little par…

Excellent chrome plating source
I had Ogden Chrome do something for me once.... Only once, then I had it done right. Then I was at a car show, and a guy pulled in next to me and his Chrome was less that desirable for sure. He had it done at Ogden Chrome. He wanted the name o…
