Al. What size rims are you looking for? The wheels in the photo look a lot like Chevrons, maybe 10" and 12", hard to say as it is a very dark area. Just a...

Having recently seen two blocks cracked around the engine mount bosses (one being mine), I was wondering - how do your engines fit in the chassis? With...
Andrew, First, the Cotrina engine block at the engine mount bosses is 3/8" narrower than an uprated block. Since I use a Cortina based engine I use 1/2"...

Brent, I can't recall the 'multi-syllable word' for describing the bushing, but you should have one on each side of the frame and two on the truss that the...
There should be a metalastic suspension bushing pressed into the sleeve in the side of the frame, where it lines up w/ the 1/2" hole in the fabbed motor mount....
Rubber in the mounts? You're kidding right? We now have two cars and neither one is sporting a bit of rubber anywhere in those areas. That explains alot of...
