Performance Front Subframe and Suspension Swap - Makeover! While the ultimate objective for Project F73 has been pretty clear in our minds since the beginning, we've only recently gotten serious about making solid progress and final decisions on the parts needed to get there. While the ultimate objective for Project F73 has been pretty clear in our minds since the beginning, we've only recently gotten serious about making solid progress and final decisions on the parts needed to get there. Sure, we got a little distracted by easy cosmetic upgrades such as our RS front clip swap and the temptation to spray on some shiny new paint, but we came to our senses and realized we were putting the cart before the horse. So, we're getting back to the meat of the project-the chassis and suspension package that's going to transform F73 from a mundane muscle car into a street car with real track ...
Chevy El Camino Rear Bushings, Shocks, Springs & Sway Bar Upgrade - The End Result Even though most of the effort put underneath a chassis is hardly ever seen, it can definitely be felt and more importantly provide a peace of mind that the foundation is safe and sound. Even though most of the effort put underneath a chassis is hardly ever seen, it can definitely be felt and more importantly provide a peace of mind that the foundation is safe and sound. Nobody likes spending endless hours underneath the car spinning a pneumatic wire wheel while particles launch into your face and eyes. Still, when it's all said and done, it's well worth it. Revamping the suspension on your project doesn't have to involve a truckload of cash. If the focus is placed primarily on swapping out the worn components, then the costs should remain relatively ...
1964 Chevy Chevelle Body Trim Restoration - Factory Fresh It's one of the most outstanding exterior features on vintage muscle cars and was used to help distinguish one model from another: body accent trim, or brightwork. It's one of the most outstanding exterior features on vintage muscle cars and was used to help distinguish one model from another: body accent trim, or brightwork. From a full-on restoration to a Pro Touring build, if the body trim is anything less than spectacular, it can distract from the overall appeal of your finished ride.inline_mediumwraptextright26513392/tech/paint_body/trim/0912chp_1964_chevy_chevelle_body_trim_restoration0912chp_01_z+1964_chevy_chevelle_body_trim_restoration+professional_metal_restoration.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: 1964 Chevy Chevelle Body Trim Restoration - Chevy High Performance Magazine Read More Digg It Add to del.icio.us
Performance Chevy LS Engine Comparison - LS Motors Decoded Some hot rodders are reluctant to embrace the indisputable virtues of technology. Let's call them traditionalists. Others would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy. Let's call them victims of brand loyalty. Vortech 5300 Many consider the 5.7L LS1 as "the new 350 Chevy," but that title more accurately goes to the 5.3L Vortec truck motor. As the bread-and-butter small-block from '99 onwards, GM installs the 5.3L in the vast majority of its fullsize trucks and SUVs. Considering that GM has built way more trucks than cars in the last 10 years, the 5.3L is far more plentiful and cheaper than its 5.7-, 6.0-, 6.2-, and 7.0L big brothers. For roughly $500 at your local boneyard, complete 5.3L motors can be had for a fraction of the price of an LS1 or an LS6. Price alone, however, isn't what makes the 5.3L the biggest sleeper in the Gen III/IV camp. Its cylinder heads flow just as well in ported trim as 5.7L ...
