My whole problem with alot of these magazines is directly stated in Smiths article  the old line about yes this is a Chevy but you can do this on your fill in the blank .....OK so if the information is good for all engines then do a article on a Pontiac or a Olds or a Ford or a Chrysler. And we all know that while yes basically the engines do the same things wit similiar changes each engine has its own special tricks. But yeah if all engines atre trhe same then why not do a feature on Cams in a 360  or a 351 w if they are all the same should not this appease the Chevy boys ?  

It's not about appeasing Chevy boys- it's about money.   Parts on a Ford or Mopar cost more than Chevy parts, and when you are trying to bring a project to print on a budget (both time and money budget) looking for just the right cam for that 360 is not really an option.  

u need to get the nova running because that why i got the rag subcrition i would like to do the thing yall do to it to my nova but my car is street and strip but it about to  be rat infested  iwant to see it done  anything u do to it ill do to my car just get the ball rolling on it thanks if u read this  

Holy f'n crap. Just about every magazine on the market has a Chevy or Ford bias. If you pick up any parts catalogue, out of 100 pages, 70 will be GM, 20 will be Ford, 8 will be Mopar and 2 will be AMC. Same goes for car magazines. The only magazines that cover us Mopar guys are rags about multi-million dollar Hemicuda convertibles and rare survivor Superbees with 5 origional miles. There was one article about a guy who owned not one, not two, not even ten '71 Hemi Chargers, but 35. Muscle cars weren't ment to be cloistered in a garage with the gas in the tanks turning into varnish, they were ment to be driven. People like the guy with the chargers and others just like him only serve to put a wall between working guys like me and ever even hoping to own a clean, mid sixties, early seventies muscle car. When did rusty slant six Nova IIs start going for eight grand?

dude.. i know...and i am from canada....add 20%.....what ever happened to 3500$$????they was a time ..not TOO long ago..that 3500 could get you a pretty decent starter.....oh well..... 

i bought a 59k malibu 307/glide asking 2k..700 bucks...kept for 10yrs..my baby...was 461 2x4/th400,3800/4.10...

i bought a 76 c30 pickup..new paint and 305 for 2k...20 footer...

i bought a 79 malibu 305/4bbl/guage package and posi for 1200.. 20 footer...

78 camaro..carbed L98...700.00 needed paint

70 nova shell/frame (wanted to make a drag car)..swapped a cast 427 crank for it+60.00 for tow job...

UNfortunatly..they are all gone now for various reasons..and with todays prices..will nearly be impossible to get again........i am totally Fawked..and frustated at the prices of iron today.... 

later

It's been super annoying to try and get the Disco running, partially because we're so busy, and partially becuase we're now having to rebuild the engine that the machine shop already rebuilt. Taking stupid forever kinda time. And now we're off to SEMA for a week, and then we'll kill ourselves catching up for two weeks after that.

Here is an idea-(one of many i'm sure)

Get a $1400 Target motor

Swap out the cast pistons for L2256 Flat Top pistons $263 (don't re balance)

or L2304 .100 dome pistons for @ 9.2 comp. w/76 cc  $337

Put in a 30/30 cam from crane PN#967251-254/254 @.050 .485/.485 114 $123 plus solid lifters. (you can also get the cam reground for @ $60 and save money)

Squeeze the piss out of it and see how fast see will go before letting go. Maybe @ a 400 Big Shot Systems $555 

Sounds alot like cheap thrills??????????? See if you can get into low 11's for a motor that's under $3000 with all new parts.

sounds like a good idea. maybe they will and kids on a budget like me can make a go-fast weekend racer on a body-man budget.  

I think it was CC you did this story @ a decaded ago, but they kept the target short block and just swap heads and cams. They got some good HP numbers out of it. I think it was Joe Sherman who did the story.

Back in the early 1970's Joe was one of the first to install a 3.75" stroke crank out of a 400 into a 350 block creating the now popular 383 small block Chevy

Those are some pretty motors.  Whats in the mustang I was thinking the Ford motor below it except it apears to have a tunnel ram?

To primedia Thank you guys for the paint and body anular which featured the disco nova, so many plans to rob a bank now though I will just have to wait on my lotto ticket.
