Re: Pontiac 400 rebuild

Howdy All. This is my power steering pump http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv18/zaleonardz/Pontiac%20Enginve%20Rebuild%202/General011.jpg Anybody have any ideas of how I tackle this one ? Remove the rear mounting bracket and high pressure line, then remove the 2 or 3 studs that attaches the mount...

Re: Ford V8, the most reliable every day transport.

Hi to all, 5 years and she is still running with a 351W and T5. I must be the only everyday V8 driver in my town. The only cowboy on a horse. :lol: Rassie. You too??

Re: Ford Capri

Judging on how much the nearside front wheel is sticking out of the front
wing, I'd avoid that one like the plague...

I have a Mk2 Capri, but I'm not stupid enough to buy that one...

Rassie.
X2, I've built a number of Y-Blocks, it's tough to find speed parts in the U.S.
How hard do you think it's going to be in SA??

Re: V8 Capri for R3000 - yes R3000 BYOB (bring your own battery)

It's not a '72 US spec Capri, we got the same bumpers you guys got.
It's actually a '74 US spec Capri, and no, you can't put the '74 bumpers
on a '72. Why would you, they weigh about 70lbs [5 stone] each...
I've got a pair, I'll take pics and post them later today...

Re: ...or perhaps I will trade my 'Chero in for a Capri

That ad was made about 4 years ago for some British product that I can't remember...

The Capri in the video belongs to this guy...

Re: What ford badges are these.

That's similar to the US 6 cylinder version, used from '61 to '66, not terribly rare here,
you can get repops of them...

Re: POTENTIAL "Battle Ship to Muscle Car Delux"

1973-77 Grand Prix are essentially the same car; but, the 1974+ models have full on 5 MPH crash bumpers. You would be better off staying with the OEM 1973 front clip. Actually, '73s had a 5mph front bumper, standard rear bumper, '74 was both bumpers had to be 5mph... As for more power: take that 40...
