@wheelman
I have most of my swap figured out; but it is not really tested yet. I am using a 6.0 lq9 also, mine was in an 2002 Escalade
It seems to me the biggest challenge was the driveshaft /...

Thank you sir. I don't think this was one of GM's shining moments in design, but I guess the chassis might make a fun go-kart at lunch hour for the workers. Just add gas can and haul ***.

I am...

Not having any luck with a search on this.

How does he steering shaft separate from the steering box. Not sure if I will be using the parts again, but hate to torch old classic parts.

Ideas? ...

The manual talks about the number of links between the marked teeth on the gears (but how are they counted???). They also mention copper plated links to assist in the timing process (I have never...

Watching the original mechanism, it looks like the rear part can go down straight, for a bit, then the front part needs to continue down. This is something I have never messed with in 40 plus years...

Has anyone attempted to modify the rear side window tracks to allow the window to lower completely? Thinking in the last 60 years or so the engineering has become more clever to allow a fully open...

Nice way to get my morning started. That stock manifold sure looked lonely sitting on the barrels.

Back to sanding off surface rust and POR 15.

I seem to recall some guys cutting two Ford v8 heads and making one head for a 6 cylinder. Many years ago, possibly with the early Boss heads.

Saimese partition. I considered making the...

Has anyone considered splitting the intake ports with a sheetmetal division wall? I invision something that looks like the intake gasket (looking at the head) as the mixture flows and a port...

How far under the skin did Buick carry the two-tone paint on it's factory cars. In the door jambs? Under hood and on cowl? Bumper to body inserts?

I am changing my 47 to a two-tone.

Thanking...

1947 special, middle of frame off, he is asking $4500. Looks like a fair deal.
I have no connection to this offer, just saw it this evening.

Fellow car guy got my part by mistake. He thought it was just a bolt, but big enough to save. He then noticed the grease fitting and drilling and figured it was more than a bolt and returned it to...

1947 Roadmaster, series 70

I think my machine shop lost one of my "Lower Support Pins" during a Hot tank cleaning. This is the pin that connects the lower A arm to the spindle. It looks like a...

No serpentine, just a 1" wide vee belt. Jyrki's page gave me some good Ideas, so I am going to wander off in that direction for now.

I will have to look into the adding of pictures.

Has anyone found a crank and WP pulley to replace the extra wide belt with a normal vee belt?

A/C almost a must down here in Florida.

It looks like some rivets on the damper can be replaced...

Clean up everything and use spray foot powder in the area. Seems a little neater than the baby powder.

I am in mock up stage for my A/C. So far it is looking like a plate mounted off the timing cover bolts on the drivers side low. This is under where I set the alternator and I will tension the belt...

I have the same timing chain spacing issue and posted a question a few minutes ago.

I think the setup looks best at 10 washers between the marks, but agree that is not what the picture shows.
...

Installing a new Timing Chain on my 320. Service manual says "copper washers are 10 links apart". Naturally, my new chain has no copper washers. I counted off 10 washers, and installed the chain. ...

Hello all.

Recently obtained 47 Roadmaster Sedanete, with the 320 st 8. Very complete car, but not running. Restoration path will depend on engine status. Current working theory is jumped...
