Holley LS Oil Pans - 302-1, 302-2, 302-3 On Project No-Name Chevelle we have been using the Holley 302-1 oil pan for years. With the stroker LS3 it was the perfect pan for the engine and the car. The only downside was that when turning hard the inner tie-rods would hit the oil pan at full lock. We were going to weld some stops on to fix the issue, but didn't want to lose … [Read more...]
Reviving The Dead (OPTIMA Batteries)
Bringing Back OPTIMA Batteries From The Dead Recently on Project Way-Gone we had to let the car sit for a few months. Unfortunately there was some draw on the battery so when it came time to start it up, the battery was dead as could be. We were using an older OPTIMA red top battery in it which had been working fine until we killed it by draining it way too low. We … [Read more...]

Borgeson Install: Why Grand Cherokee Steering Boxes Aren’t Worth It!
Borgeson Install: Why Grand Cherokee Steering Boxes Aren't Worth It! Recently we've been doing some upgrades on our Project No Name Chevelle.

Then it hit us, this is the same power … [Read more...]

Project Way-Gone: Rebuilding The Chevelle Doors
1966 Chevelle Wagon Door Rebuilding With our 1966 Chevelle Wagon project up and running, we wanted to turn our attention to the interior. We knew that we wanted a set of cool TMI Products door panels and seats, but before we could go installing seats we have a bunch of work to do. One of those tasks was to rebuild the doors. They didn't latch, out of alignment and … [Read more...]
Framing Up Your Project: Full Chassis Talk
Talking Full Chassis Swaps with Chris Alston Chassisworks and Schwartz Performance By far one of the biggest performance improvements people make to their car is suspension. Especially if they are working on a classic car, the suspension from 50 years ago is archaic and doesn't meet any sort of modern day performance. Even back then the geometry was bad and it was more about … [Read more...]
Lokar’s LS Classic: Making LS Engines Look Cool!
The Best Of Both Worlds: Big Block Chevy Looks With LS Power One of the coolest things about LS engines besides the great power and reliability is the massive amount of parts companies make for them such as Lokar Performance.

Adding a butyl rubber insulation under the carpet is nothing new for … [Read more...]
