 To be honest, its almost not worth it unless you live in a non emissions county... because if you dont, when the vin is put in the comp, it will do the sniffer test for a v6.. not a v8 and it will end up causing you to fail..

your best option is something illegal, and i will not go into detail about it

 What year is your S-10? If it is 96 or ler, no computer hook up to DPS. You can get a 350 to pass sniffer, but the computer and the vin will not match.

 Vortec 350 up to 97 would be the easiest swap since your 6 is just about like one.

 I prefer a leaf spring car myself, but I guess either one can get you there. Joe had a picture of a Malibu in his garage and you can see how it works. I think it is on down the page or in the archives. The coil springs just feel a little mushy, they react a little differnetly and torque over to the passenger side. Not knocking them, it's just what I prefer. I am a little prejudiced towards the old Novas. I am awaiting my AFR heads as we speak and they should be in Monday. I got everyting to assemble an all new 383 (close to 550HP). I will have to find an old Nova probably in about a year give or take. Good luck with your decision and project.

 My last 71 Nova I had the 210's on the 406. This time around I went with the 195 Eliminators. They are flowing what the older 210's did. I think it is 280 or 285 on the intake and like 211 exhaust at .550 lift. They also did a dyno comparison and at 6600 rpms the 195 E's made something like 115 HP difference than the older 195's. The new ones' just hold the HP at a higher rpm. Peak to peak was like 20 HP difference. This is just gonna be a little street-strip car that I hope to run some high 10's. I am thinking of trying to get car weight down to about 3000lbs. They have the dyno results at AFR's website. I have a new Lunati Voodoo hyd. roller (.565 lift, 243-251 duration). I also just bought a new 850 Quickfuel carb. I will be drooling when I get the heads in next week.

 The 195's flow 280-I and 218-E @ .550 lift, and the competition 195's flow 301-I and 233-E @ .600 lift. Might just be wishful thinking on my part, I will be happy with some low 11's.

 Hell no just do like the mexicans move over there, wave the American flag, only speak English, celebrate American independence day, make the government teach your kids in English, make them install English voting booths for you then demand free health care then bring all you family over to participate in the free give away!

 Av gas is way better than most people think. The minimum octane it can be is 100 but it is really around 114 octane. You do not need lubrication. The lead in the fuel lubricates. It is a old hot rodders myth you have to add marvel mystery oil but you do not. I am sure it will not hurt if you do though. The 540 in my plane will go 2000 hours easy before rebuild and no lubrication in the fuel. I run it hard with a high power setting doing acro and never worry about it not being lubricated. We never have pump or fuel system issues either. I have run alot of av gas through cars and motorcycles with excellent results. $3.89 per gallon in Brenham.

 I ran av gas years ago in a 12.5:1 iron headed 355 and it worked fine. What you have to remember is that the specific gravity of the fuel is less because it is designed to run at altitude. As a result, you will have to jet your carb up 6-10 sizes front and back to maintain the same AFR as gasoline or race gas. I don't know a lot about piston driven planes, but I'm pretty sure they have a mixture adjustment knob in the cockpit that they lean out when they get up to altitude. I would consider 13:1 as about the limit for av gas.

 Use to run AV gas in a couple of Vehicles and found out that the holley blue pump did not like it. It would get hot and shut down and you would have to wait awhile to crank it back up. Same vehicle had a fuel starvation problem when running cold but that was probably the same problem with the AV gas. We changed the fuel and never had a problem after that.
Just thought I would throw that out there in case someone tried AV gas and had these symptoms. You shouldnt have any problems with a mechanical fuel pump.

 Does it load up and die or just shut off as soon as you put it in gear? How big a cam and what converter? If your cam is more than about 230 @ .o5o and you have a stock converter, it's gonna load up and die. If that is the case, you need a stall converter.

[ Edit | View ] 		Date Posted: 12:20:37 03/11/10 Thu
 IF YOU HAVE A STOCK CONVERTER -THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

IF YOU STUCK WITH A STOCK CONVERTER.. SET YOUR INITIAL TIMING ON ABOUT 18-20 DEGREES AND SEE IF IT SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

IF 18 DEGREES INITIAL WORKS (STOPS IT FROM GOING DEAD)THEN YOU WILL NEED TO LIMIT THE CENTRIFUGAL ADVANCE INSIDE YOUR HEI IF YOUR USING THE ONE WITH WEIGHTS.

IT IS EASILY DONE. TAKE A SMALL STOVE BOLT, GRIND THE HEAD FLAT ON ONE SIDE THEN TRANSITION TO THE FULL HEAD -YOU HAVE MADE AN "ADJUSTABLE CAM". DRILL A HOLE IN THE CROOS BAR CLOSE TO THE WEIGHT.. AS THE WEIGHT SLINGS OUT YOU CAN ADJUST YOUR SCREW HEAD TO LIMIT THE ADVANCE.

YOU MAY HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE VACCUM ADVANCE IF YOU RUN ONE. THERE IS A WAY TO LIMIT THE VACCUM ADVANCE ALSO BUT IT TAKES A BIT IF WELDING....

 Are you using a variable timing light with a dial. They have been known to freak out with MSD Box. If so, borrow a generic cheap timing light with no dial and then set your timing.

 you need about 650 hp at flywheel at 3400 lbs to go 11.00. Summit sells a 489 cid kit for $1115 and a 496 kit for $1995. Good aluminum heads with decent cam should get you there. My 2 cents.

 FOR RACING USE I THINK .030 IS A BIT TOO MUCH... YOU MIGHT NEED LONGER PUSH RODS TO KEEP THE VALVE TRAIN GEOMETRY CORRECT. USING NOS THE TOP OF THE PISTON OUT OF THE BLOCK MIGHT GET TOO HOT -DEPENDS HOW TIGHT THE GASKET FITS THE PISTON....

IF YOU GOT SOME PARTS LAYING AROUND AND DON'T MIND "TESTING" -TRY IT.. IF YOU WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW WILL LIVE- GET THE CORRECT PISTONS -IF YOU GOT THE LABOR AND TIME TRY IT AND LET US KNOW WHAT HAPPENDS

 Mr. Golden,

I don’t know how to put such a big thank you into words.

Yes our car was recovered because of this web site. Joe all of your time and efforts to maintain this board and keep it something that filters out 70% of the BS so we can learn and share the love of hotrodding with fellow Texans is a great asset to everyone. That is why we keep coming back. This service you are providing to all of us was enough for the right people to identify our car, and for that my friend I will always be grateful.

A little back ground on the car and the family you have helped. My father is a gear head and raced a 1967 Camaro at Porter back in the day. He is currently building a ’56 Ford pickup that he just putts around in these days. My brother, sister and me were born in Spring Branch and moved to Spring on the north side of Houston in the early 80’s. I started driving in ’89 and my first car was a blue and silver 1969 Camaro bracket car with a huge scoop on the hood. (should have seen my moms face) I cut my teeth and learned to work with my hands on that car before I had to sell it. My brother got a 1967 Camaro (the car you helped recover) in ’90 as a basket case. We towed it home and went to work on it. It was black with white int. He drove that car through high school and later to College. After he graduated and started working I got the car from him. I worked a second job for several years to build the car. This car has been in our family for over 20 years. I spend a lot of time away from my wife and two daughters making money to build this car. We are now expecting another. Bottom-line I scraped, searched and sacrificed allot and with help of hotrodgossip build a great car. You helped get it back.

The car was taken Saturday night from a mini storage in Klein, Tx where the padlocks where cut off the rolling door. The storage place had cameras and watched it roll out. No plates were visible but the cars were. The stolen car was found at a bad guy’s house in Montgomery, Tx. The car had the cover back on it behind a house not too visible from the street the wrecker said. An engine hoist was next to the front end. One of the good guys spotted my post and contacted the right people. Thank you all.

Mr. Golden when I get back to Texas I plan on shaken your hand in person.

 just remember ford is off set 3/4" to the passenger side. if your going to buy headers go with kooks there best price. mine fit frame to frame, then all i done was set thin piece of tin our aluminum on steering rack and set oil pan on it weld it in place. also skinny kit has a kit for this if your going motor plate.

 i bought all AJE and everything fit fine ... no clearencing needed any where... the hearders were built for that k member... the only thing is if you fun stock control arms instead of tubular you'll have to grind on the passenger side one a little.. nothing major or structural... the motor with this k member sits center in the engine bay.. also was able to reuse stock steering shaft

 You can bring your own jets or they can provide them and charge you later. It might be better to just let them provied the parts unless you already have a complete box of jets and sqirters.

 9inch can be much heavier then a 12 bolt and 9inch robs horsepower unless you have a pro built 9inch. 12bolt or a 10bolt8.5 ring gear equal in strenght and are good for 1000hp in a lite car or a truck, if it's built right. the only advantage a 9inch has on a street/strip application is that its much easier to change out gears. my 10 bolt 8.5 does'nt even have the tubes welded to the housing and the tubes have yet to brake or bend and with a 1.33 60 ft on nos and well over 500 passes down the track i say GM built them well. just invest in strange axle package deal that they offer. stock axles are junk.

 I THINK A BETTER WAY THAN WELDING THE AXEL TUBES IS "THRU BOLT"... DRILL THRU THE HOUSING AND AXEL TUBES AND BOLT THEM WITH 2 BOLTS PER SIDE. PLENTY OF ROOM AND YOU WON'T TWIST THE TUBES.

THE AXEL TUBES WILL TWIST AND YOU WON'T KNOW IT -USING LADDER BARS YOU WILL PRELOAD ONE SIDE AND YOUR CAR WILL DO STUPID STUFF.

HERE IS "SOMEDAY" DOING A TEST HIT IN MY SHOP YEARS BACK.. TWISTED THE AXEL TUBE AND SPIT THE SPOT WELD OUT ON THE FLOOR!

 How about that NASCAR! They gave Carl Edwards 3 week probation for taking out Brad! I congratulate NASCAR. We as spectators go to a race and love to see retaliation. I also don't want anybody hurt, but when you strap those belts on Sunday, don't expect not to be wrecked! You get paid to drive in a fast and furious sport! What would NHL and WWF be if it was not for all the confrontations? Let NASCAR give the drivers some boxing gloves after the race and let them go! I feel sorry for Mark Martin as he is a little older gentleman, that's probably why he minds his pees and quees! The only thing I don't like about Carl Edwards is that he drives of Ford!! Otherwise go get'em Carl!

 Sorry, but I don't agree with you. Last year, I think it was at Dega, is when Edwards came down on Keselowski.Brad held his line and Carl got turned. Problem was that when he went airborn, spectators got hurt. That could have happened Sunday. If you want to settle something, do it old school like they used to back in the days of Donnie and Bobbie Allison,Cale Yarbrough.....a little hand to head combat...lol...Don't hide behind a car. As far as Mark Martin...he has always pretty much been a clean racer, has nothing to do with his age.

 When a tire comes off a car and goes into the stands and kills a spectator, is that NHRA's problem or NASCAR's problem? I go to a race and I take my chances. I know they, NHRA and NASCAR, make it as safe as possible for spectators, yet nothing can be totally covered as we had an accident in Phoenix, AZ., when Antron Brown killed a spectator with a tire when he blew his car near the finish line. Do you blame NHRA or Antron Brown? Neither, you paid to go to a car race which shit can happen!!! Stay out of the way!!! PS; If there is a horn blasting at you, it might be me!!!

[ Edit | View ] 		Date Posted: 23:38:14 03/08/10 Mon
 i HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING TOO MUCH ATTENTION BUT I SAW ON THE NEWS IT WAS A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE GAS PEDAL GETTING HUNG IN THE CARPET.. THEN I READ SOME GUY CRASHED EVEN WITH THE COMPUTER REFLASH , HUH?? THEN TODAY FINALLY THE LITE BULB CLICKED ON....

NEW CARS TODAY ARE "FLY BY WIRE", THERE IS NO THROTTLE LINKAGE OUT TO THE CARB/AIR VALVE. WHEN YOU PRESSURE THE GAS PEDAL AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL GOES TO THE COMPUTER AND THEN THE COMPUTER SENDS AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL OUT TO THE FUEL INJECTION/AIR VALVE. YOUR THROTTLE IS ALL DONE BY ELECTRONICS.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE GAS PEDAL. THERE IS A COMPUTER GLITCH SOMEWHERE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS U BUT WHEN ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION FIRST CAME OUT EVERYTHING WAS CONTROLLED WITH 1 TO 5 VOLTS. 1 VOLT IDLE 5 VOLTS WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. IF 2 WIRES GET TOGETHER YOUR CAR COULD GO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE.

TODAY THEY ARE PROBABLY USING MILLI VOLTS FOR SIGNALS, MUCH SMALLER WIRE CAN BE USED, CHEAPER TO BUILD. IF THEY ARE USING MILIVOLTS FOR COMPUTER SIGNALS TO RUN THE CAR -INTERFERENCE FROM A CELL PHONE, POLICE RADAR, GARAGE DOOR OPENER JUST ABOUT ANYTHING COULD "LEAK" INTO THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WIDE OPEN THROTTLE.

TOYOTA JUST USED THE "GAS PEDAL.CARPET" PLOY TO AVOID ADMITTING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHEN I HEARD THEY WERE REFLASHING THE COMPUTER WHEN THEY WERE CUTTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.. NOW EVERYTHING FITS INTO PLACE...

AT FIRST I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS NO BIG DEAL, JUST PEDAL GETTING HUNG IN THE CARPET. BUT NOW IT MAY TAKE A TOTAL REWIRING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO FIX IT. REWIRING CANNOT BE DONE ONCE THE CAR IS BUILT. SOME KIND OF REMOTE SIGNAL/ RADIO WAVES ARE GETTING TO THE COMPUTER. IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER IS GETTING HOT AND SENDS OUT ERRANT SIGNALS. IF YOU OWN A TOYOTA GET READY TO BEND OVER AND GRAB YOUR ANKLES... YOUR INSURANCE WILL GO UP AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GIVE YOUR CAR AWAY. A FRIEND WENT TO CARMAX TO TRADE IN A 1 YEAR OLD LOW MILEAGE TOYOTA PICKUP, THEY OFFERED HIM $10 GRAND AND ONLY AFTER THE UPGRADE WAS DONE. THEY COULDN'T EVER TAKE IT WITHOUT THE RECALL UPGRADE DONE...

MAYBE WE GOT SOME TECHS THAT'S MORE FAMILIAR THAN ME BUT I BET I'M GUESSING CORRECTLY! DON'T DRIVE YOUR TOYOTA NEXT TO SOMEBODY ON THEIR CELL PHONE OR WORSE A COP LITES YOU UP WITH RADAR AND YOUR CAR JUST SPEEDS OFF, LOL... THAT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TALL EXPLAINING!!

 Personally I don't like the idea of a computer controlling my throttle. Nothing the matter with change, but when you see it going the wrong direction go back to what works. How often do you change a throttle cable on these cars, not! Even our new trucks (1 tons and 1/2 tons) at work are drive by wire. I know the newer technology is more effiecent as far as fuel injection stuff goes. It's like the newer hotrods, but for me if it aint strokin', then it aint a hotrod for me. Just my two cents worth.

 I meant "how often do you change a throttle cable on these cars", for the cars that are a not drive by wire. Also just seen a Prius on the new that he couldn't stop. An officer came up beside him and told him to push the get on the brakes as hard as he could and put the e-brake. He managed to get it stopped. I believe they said he had it checked before and it wasn't on the list.

 THROTTLE LINKAGE WORKED FINE, JUST CHEAPER TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL WIRE. ONCE YOU CAN CONTROL THE GAS PEDAL WITH THE COMPUTER THERE WILL BE TONS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO -ADJUST TIMING FUEL FLOW, VARY THESE CONDITIONS BECAUSE OF LOAD, LIKE IN UPHILL DOWNHILL -ACCELERATION CURVE. YOU MAY HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE FLOOR BUT THE THROTTLE BLADES MAY NOT BE WIDE OPEN. I'M SURE EMISSIONS ARE WIRED INTO THE THROTTLE. YOUR GAS PEDAL IS JUST A SIGNAL ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO -THE COMPUTER PROBABLY HAS 50 THINGS IT SETS AS YOU ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE AHEAD.

HOW ABOUT DECELERATION NO TELLING WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE COMPUTER WHEN YOU LIFT OFF THE THROTTLE. EVEN BRAKING COULD BE ADJUSTED BY THE GAS PEDAL POSITION. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. JUST MAYBE YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE BRAKES WHEN THE COMPUTER SEES WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. THERE IS A MAJOR FLAW SOMEWHERE, EITHER SOFTWARE OR IN THE HARD PARTS.

ALL CARS NOW DAYS HAVE A BLACK BOX THAT WILL GIVE YOU CRASH INFORMATION. AMERICAN AUTO MANUFACTURES HAVE PROVIDED CRASH RESULTS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM THESE BLACK BOXES. THERE ARE A LOT OF CRASH LAWSUITS AGAINST TOYOTA AND THEY DO NOT GIVE OUT THE BLACK BOX CRASH INFO. UP UNTIL LAST WEEK TOYOTA SAID THERE IS JUST 1 LAPTOP IN THE USA THAT CAN READ THE CRASH DATA. IT COST THEM TOO MUCH TO FLY THE LAPTOP AND PERSON ACROSS THE USA TO READ THE DATA!! WELL GUESS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN FINALLY ORDERED BY COURT TO MAKE THIS INFO AVAILABLE FOR THE LAWSUITS. THIS WEEK 150 LAPTOPS SHOULD BE IN THE USA. TOYOTA IS TRYING TO COVER UP A MAJOR FLAW.

 its not only about economy and cost its also about control. With TBW it makes it easy to integrate the throttle, ABS and traction control which takes control away from the driver and gives it to the comnputer. Engineers think they can program the computer to do a better job than you. My 2008 silverado has traction control which works quite nicely but if I wish to spin the tires or drive it other than the way they want it I have to turn the traction control off. The A/c is the same way, every time I start the truck it defaults to the fresh air mode. My wife has allergys so I have to push the recirculate button every time I start the truck which just PISSES ME OFF. If it is on defrost the ac light just flashes saying FUCK YOU I am not going to let you do that! I love the truck just HATE this feature. Joe you are old enough to remember the old V/W squarebacks with the first electronic fuel injections that would die every time a CB er would key the mike next to then. The solution was to bolt a screen wire cage around the ECM

 The way most of these pedal assemblies work is there are 3 pontentiometers in the pedal. One may send a 1 to 5 volt signal to ecm second will go from 2.5 to 4.5 and third will be 4.5 to 1. The ecm will compare these three and if it sees the correct signals from all three sources will operate throttle body. If the problem is electrical in nature it would pretty much have to be ecm glitching on output side

 The use of drive by wire allows manufacturer to control throttle for cruise control,traction control,onstar vehicle shutdown etc. I do not know if i agree with R.F. leaking into wiring harness. But not entirely impossible i don't guess. Most likely a software issue with Toyota. They tried to bullshit their way out with "floormat" hanging throttle open,now the lawsuits are piling up.Just a matter of time before our government bails out a FOREIGN carmaker.SEND EM BACK TO JAPAN.

 I have a feeling that the accidents we hear about are mainly nurds that when in a panic situation apply brakes then plow straight ahead untill crashing.After asking that dork in the Prius why he didn't shut off the motor or put it in neutral he stated that he didn't want to get rearended! Come on man! He drove for 30 or 40 minutes managing to pass cars wide open, I know there was an exit somewhere around he could of coasted off of.

 First of all the track is suppose to be a family oriented place where you can bring your kids and family and not have to worry about the safety of urself and family because of some immature individual that doesnt know how to act and creates an arguement that turns into a fight and then people start getting stabbed so therefore people start having second thoughts about coming out to the track.People that dont have kids don't understand and noone likes a thief,but the ones that have kids that are just as getto as the rest dont care cuzz they are stealing for them and therefore they dont see a problem with it Its a sin and ashame that you cant feel safe and everyone act as family out at the track like back in the day. Just my opinion and I have spent alot of money at that track as well

 I cannot belive that the track personel allows people to walk around with pit bulls. Lawsuit waiting to happen is right. What happens when someone else brings theirs and the dog fights break loose and people get attacked. The track will be shut down for good when their insurance pays out the wazoo and drops them. Not to mention the personal liability claims.

 Well sometime shit happen but People break in cars and I have seen a couple fights at Church but you go back cars get broke in at the Mall and stable sometimes at Schools you send your Kids back. People get drunk and talk shit at Football games especially Texans games but you go back if you lets some Fools mess up your lifes you will never go nowhere

 You are the dumbest muthafucka to post on this board. How about everybody bring their pits this weekend and see what happens? All it takes is one bad deal and it's over for all of us. I guess you think that's a good idea. If it's o.k. for you then it;s o.k. for everybody. If I wanted to see pits I'd go to a dog fight or take a trip to the hood and take my chances at getting arrested like all of the guys you don't see at the track anymore. We go to the track to see racing not to a dog show to see some ugly ass dogs. Hope you got some good insurance boy, cause there are plenty of good ambalance chasing lawyers out there.

 HMP is suppose to be a family oriented track. I will never go to HMP. I have heard way too many bad things about the track. It is not safe at all for my family. I will take my car and family elsewhere.

 The officer shot at all 3 and killed one PIT BULL! Every time a pit bull kills someone or attacks someone the first thing you hear , "he has never done that before". If i was the officers sargent he would be in deep shit and get a week off -practicing at the range, only killing on pit bull and not all 3 is totally inexcuseable!

 I hear you family guys. I took my girlfriend and my two sons out there and was appalled at the behavior of the trash that attends this track. There were drunks pissing under the stands right in front of peoples kids and one idiot was throwing his empty beer cans down the hill towards the track. The guy in the time slip booth didnt do shit. So all you mouthy fucking assholes that want to turn that place into a shit hole go ahead and when it closes because noone wants to even take their cars there you can turn the circle track into thunderdome for pitbulls and you can all go waller in your own shit.
