  5. Give him some time with the new speakers and when he gets the right center to go with the 82's then he will hear what all the buzz is about Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. That's a hell yes. Even better if you get the rc64 but the rc62 is a great center speaker as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Ok ok guys. I'm getting some crazy answers here this is the answer to my question #6. None of the above Reason for this is the Chevrolet 302 which only used for a few years in a very select few cars it was designed for the quarter mile track it was a high rpm motor 7000+ RPMs with very very little it had such little Horsepower and torqueat 600 to 900 rpm idle, so little that you could not even have an automatic transmission on it because if you put your foot on the pedal with it in drive the motor would stall, these motors did not develop horsepower and or torque until they reach the 5000 RPM range and above I have built several that have reached up to 10,000 RPM and where reliable for at least 20 to 25 quarter-mile laps before we had to rebuild them again if anyone is questioning this please do some research on the history of Chevrolet small blocks the 302 was in no way shape or fourm a 327,350 or 400 sb so if you see a Camaro claiming to have a 302 in it and saying that it's original and if you see power brakes ,power steering ,air-conditioning or an automatic transmission this was not an original 302 car. If memory serves me right that motor only came in the Camaro ,but I am sure that I'm wrong on that so please correct me if I am because I'd like to know what other models it was in History of Chevrolet from a Ford man 🛠

  10. It has all the goodies The base engine was around 26,000 It's a bear to get parts for. As for the inside of the engine that's a need to know basis. Lol Top Secret stuff. The owner is very hush hush on what's been done to the inside of it. I'll post the dyno pulls when it's ready We have a I ground floor dyno here in the shop and dyno most of the cars that we do work on so the customer has facts to back up his claims about his car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. We specialize in fords but do some Chevy and Mopars. It's LaMotta performance. In Longwood fl. This shop has had a few mustangs in muscle car magazines like ford muscle car and mustang fast fords and so on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had great luck with steam bending and shaping wood If someone could PM, email , text me if they would let me check them out.

  15. Well there is always a fool who would pay such a outrageous price for things like this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. My deepest apologies if I hijacked your thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Omg you don't want to do that. They look great and it's the best was to tell that each cylinder is burning at the same temperature and helps with putting the right jets in your carbs and what plugs to use, or when a spark plug is going bad or if you have a to cold or hot plug in one of the cylinders . Most if not all air cooled inline 4 cylinder engines should use colder plugs on the two outside cylinders and the inside two should use a hotter plug. The outside cylinders get better cooling and so on. FYI. I am a ASE master tech for the last 37 years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. That's called running the rich on the carbs. But they look pretty good. I've seen them blue and yellow half way down the pipes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Parts express used to re one divers but no longer do, I think speaker works in Orlando Florida can do the klipsch drivers, but the last time I checked with them to do my H1 drivers he wanted 125 each. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. This setup on a 1963 1/2 Galaxy 500xl with a 427 made 75 hp over the single 4 barrel carb and 50 hp more then the same edelbrock setup. But the edelbrock has much smaller runners then the ford one. This is the same intake that was killing the Chrysler hemi on the 1/4 mile and NASCAR back in the 60's and 1970-71 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Sweet list of first cars. Any of you ford guys that have a FE engine let me know. I have a very rare ford factory aluminum 3x2 with carbs intake for sale. I even have the air cleaner cover and the code correct yellow air filter. Asking 3500 complete shipping would be from lake mary Florida zip code 32746 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
