This Howard’s cam 131101-12 grind might be just the ticket for my build. (Shopping for a 112+ lobe separation grind for EFI purposes) Basic RPM Range: 1400-5400 Manufacturers Description: Street Force™ 2, Good idle & throttle response. :browNeeds 4 barrel & good exhaust. Intake Valve Lift with...

@DreamChevy64 - Thumbing through here are some articles featuring 64's: Try May '89, Sep '88, Aug '88, Mar '88, Nov '87 June '87, Nov 86, Dec 85,

Emergency brake. Don't leave home without it.

I recently saw a video about doing crank grinds. Granted the subject in that video was a '70's crank. The main take-away from that video was to be careful about removing the top surface material on cranks since removing that extra hardness benefits weakens the crank. Anyway, this got me...

Recognizing the change during the "Classic Chevy" era having no means to download issues, I knew this would someday be the end game. But I didn't suspect it so soon. No matter. Got to give credence to Danny Howell and team for doing what they did when they did. All said, I suppose I feel...

A sign of the times I suppose. Was a lifetime member #2422 of Late Great Chevy since the the 80's. Part of that membership included a monthly publication. Later, LGC was absorbed by Classic Chevy diluting the monthly publication to an online format. Eklers now (or whenever) absorbed Classic...

Points taken... Got a lead on another shop from a local 348/409 member. Negotiated to have the block be brought to them next week. Gotta mag it again as if anyone has the $$ for duplicate work :bang, but at least back on track with someone reputable. Will be a great campfire story someday.

Ahhhh! Good news, not so good news. First, a overdue update. The good: Elected to go with a pair of Bob Walla heads over the Edlebrock 60815's (Same valve size, water jacket advantages, but original GM push rod geometry) Plus, I believe BWR offers a more personal touch to our projects. Bob also...

Did some research into this and my approach will be to etch my heads and manifold with some zinc chromate primer. If I choose to fill logo's, I'll use JB Weld using a sponge technique to duplicate a cast surface.

@catdoctor - That's the very cam I got from Charlie too. So very glad to hear it's servicing you well.

The valance panel bolts to the bumper. The bumper mounts to the car. This link should give you a better idea how they all go together. https://www.autocityclassic.com/bumpers/1958-chevy-passenger-cars-rear-bumper-kit-58rbump/ If your trying to free up what you have. I say remove the the bumper...

58 valance panels use a special tool for the retaining screws. Kind of looks like a figure "8". NAPA had them way back when I got mine.

Don - Thx so much! To your question. No plans to Stroke it. My goals are to build a "snappy" EFI driven 348 with increased air and coolant flow. Drivetrain: 348 EFI => TH350 => 336 Posi modified with a 3.08 ring and pinion. Now more than ever, a matched cam selection would be the most essential...

For 2023, most of my efforts can be attributed to securing EFI support and Digital Dash components. Dakota RTX Dash, RLC Digital Clock, Holley EFI Interface, 348 Alternator, Front Power Brakes & Booster. Never planned on the Alternator requirement, but Classic Generator hooked me up nicely in...

When you build the same crap as everyone else... It's why we do what we do!
