My 1979 308GTB came wired from the factory with the choke indicator light and it is still functional. The light first comes on when the choke...
The original viper V-10 was about 7.4 liters or 450 cu-in. That is exactly 10/8ths of a 360. It shares the same cam, crank and bore centerlines...
I had not heard that, in fact they have reintroduced the 426 HEMI as a crate engine. The 426 HEMI is basically an RB but they retained ownership...
I read somewhere that the replacement caps for the 400i engines are the same cap as the 512BB except that the firing order is marked differently....
Didn't I read somewhere that you could send a 308 engine back to the factory and have it rebuilt for $10K?

As Timone said "Talk about your fixer upper".
I am not an expert, but I thought I would post because not many have responded to your question. Those who know more please correct anything I...
There are advantages to living in Iowa. There are the obvious disadvantages as well; the nearest Ferrari dealer is 4 hours away, but on to the...
So far the Sumitomo's seem to get the most votes. Anyone else want to weigh in? Anyone elso using these?
Go get 'em. There has to be enough of us nuts out there to create a market.
