Mar 27, 2007 · Diesels are heavy (big and bulky for the most part), produce alot of torque at low rpm, don't rev very high, smell funny, are expensive to work on (injectors, injection pumps), get decent mileage, and not the best for a hotrod.....good for towing....the new trucks are impressive and can be made to run quick ( a freind has a twin turbo …

May 28, 2004 · Now, for a total econo-rod...my plan would be the following: 1 lightweight T-bucket 1 1975-78 Datsun B-210 dinky four w/5speed Mix together and keep everything super light! It'll give ya a fun to drive little buzz-bomb that'll run forever while delivering 40-50mpg! (Our old stock B-210 delivered 42mpg on the highway!)

Mar 30, 2015 · Love to see Chev inline engines in early hot rods, less clearance issues with exhaust to steering especially in a RHD car. I would like to fit a Ford 300 in a model A highboy on 32 rails but can get tight with a ford 6 engine in a RHD car. There is actually a turbo manifold available in Sth America to bolt a Turbo directly onto a 230/250/292

Oct 15, 2024 · The rod the attaches the brake pedal to the hydroboost doesn't have any adjustment, but seems like it has a tiny bit of play. The power steering fluid was a bit low and after filling it up it I took it out again and went about a mile and it didn't lock up, but it still seems like it was starting to build up pressure as I had a hell of a time ...
