GM lubes I just bought some of the above lub as mentioned above and in the magazine article. The part number for the EOS is #1052367 as mentioned above. It is listed as an assembly lubricant on the bottle. I use #12345501 Camshaft and Lifter prelube as an aditiver to my oil. It is in a 4oz...

my own header fab I have bought a set of used hooker headers for a 57 chevy and 409 flanges, I also bought another set of used 1 5/8 chevy headers to use for building and to splice where needed. I will have about $155 dollars in parts, plus whatever in labor. I will try shimming the box over...

JimK, Thank you for the link to the maval rack. The steering position does look like it would be a pain to hook up. :dunno I keep wondering about staying with the box because it is a bolt on and I am alrady making my on headers and motor and trans mounts already. So I should be able to use the...

steering box price Hello Milehighss, The steering box is from Classic Chevy International. I paid $460 plus shipping for it. What would you offer? I see their rack kit is $850. How much is the Maval kit and where would I buy it? Since I am putting a "W" motor in would I use the big block...

small world it is 348nut it is a small world! Thats great that you get down to the area. Do you come down to any shows or swaps. It would be cool to run into each other someplace! Jim K. thank you for the link to the oil pan. I didn't know that it was a Showcars item. I am originally from...

Headers and oil pan Thank you all for the pictures and links on the oil pan. I saved them so I can reference them later. I do like the Stef's pan that does look like a nice one. Any idea on cost and how to contact him? I know I could modify one if necessary, i have the ability. I will try...

I bought parts I wanted to let all who posted that I purchased some "w" header flanges and a used set of hooker small block chevy headers for a 57 chevy. I plan to modify those and probably send them out for coating afterwards. I will have a total investment so far of $150. I am not sure of...

Thank you again for all the info. I see I am not the only person who has wondered this situation. I might have to do the suggested small block headers and modify them with the 409 style build your own kit. I could have them coated afterwards. I will have to check with the custom Sanderson style...

Headers I was wondering about the rear dump 3/4 headers. I would think someone would make them for Impala's! I see that the Sanderson headers dump in the center like you mention. I bought the steering box before I bought the motor. I was originally going to put a Ram Jet 350 in the car. But...

block huggers Thank you for all the ideas on block huggers. For a steering box I have a 670 steering box from Classic Chevy. Its supposed to be a better box then the normal 605 conversions. The car already has the Danchuk style weld in side motor mounts. I am thinking they are small block style...

Hello, I was wondering what people have found to work on headers when putting a 348 "w" motor in my 57 Chevy. I am thinking that it would have to be the block hugger style? Any thoughts on this would be appriciated. Thank You, Brad

348 stroker Hello All, Thank you for you replies. I will check out the info everyone has listed. I have checked out the prices on the stroker kits. $2000!!! I am not shure of the casting numbers on the heads. I am looking at purchasing the motor from CarlK60. He would have that info yet...

Hello, I am new to this site and new to the "w" motors. I have a 1957 Chevy 2 post that I am thinking about putting a "w" motor in it. What is the best way to build this motor for reliable horsepower. I have seen the stroker motor kits with the 427 crank. If I am correct this would give...
