I've got a El Camino with a mild 350 that has a stock 2bbl carburetor. It's a fine street motor but I want to pick up about 30hp and a lot more top end with a 4bbl. If I bought a used Holley or Edelbrock carburetor, what should I look for and are they easy to install? What steps are involved...

You know how GM has gotten rid of Pontiac and Oldsmobile? What if it was announced on the news they're getting rid of Chevy? I'd laugh for the whole day.

I'm thinking about doing some major modifications to my '78 El Camino, to make it a very fast and fun street car. I want to have a twin turbo 350 built for it with about 550hp/650 torque. Since the th350 would need to be rebuilt anyways, I thought it would make sense to replace it with a...

I think it's funny how the singer Robin Zander is a complete pretty boy and the guitarist Rick Nielsen is kinda the opposite (not ugly, but ya know). If Rick Nielsen was the singer and had the EXACT same voice as Robin Zander, I guarantee they wouldn't be nearly as popular as they are today...

Chevy guys routinely put 350's and 400 small blocks in S10s, but have you noticed Ford guys typically only put 302s in Rangers and that swap isn't nearly as common? Not saying a 302 Ranger can't be fast, but why not get the extra torque of the 351 especially if you're doing a costly swap? I...

I'm listing lyrics from certain 80's rock songs, and you have to figure out what song it's from. Some are harder than others. Lets see how good you are! Hint: three periods before the lyric indicates it's a secondary part of the chorus. 1)...there's no heat without a flame!!! 2) Can't you...

It costs like a dollar more per quart and I'm curious if it's just marketing hype of if it really helps the engine last longer.

I think it would be neat if someone put a 360 V8 and 5-speed manual in a '98 Sebring, along with doing a RWD conversion. They're sporty looking cars, just too civilized. Would a V8 even fit in the engine bay?
