Hi guys and gals, I have always struggled with cooling my 396 when cruising around town. It's fine on the highway, constantly 185 degrees. I put a flex fan on to pull and that helped but now I'm thinking about putting an electric push fan on the front, with just a toggle switch to turn it on when cruising. W...

The ID on the Rochester is 7042208 which according to what limted liturature I have is a 1972 4bbl for an automatic Chevy. Any idea what CFM this would be? The intake casting nu...

Hi there, There seems to be alot of recommendations out there, but no real-life experience I've found. My '68 2+2 has the 396, 325 hp engine with the original Q-Jet 4 barrel and I've lots of problems with it. I thought about upgrading to an Edelbrock intake and Holly carb. Anybody out there have other re...

My Summit brand headers arrived today. Ceramic coated, USA made. Not too bad looking for $240 to my door. Seem to fit pretty good, nice finish, but obviously road testing will tell the tale.
