Thanks for the info Mario. I have always been a fan of Fords 300. I just kinda wondered if the 302 heads would make it easier or harder to supercharge.

I remember reading in an Hot Rod magazine about a drag racer that used 302 heads cut and spliced together. Apparently the oil and water passages lined up. If I remember correctly it took three 302 heads to make a 300 head. Of course this was drag racing so durability may not have been an issue.

I agree that door header is probably not strong enough. I would also be concerned about the drywall that was removed for the door opener and the pulleys for the door. That sheetrock is the main protection of the inhabited part of the house from fumes from the garage. There is no way that would...

leave the floor level out from the exiting basement into the new space for the first 2 to 3 feet then step down to your 8 ft plus footing. This should save you from issues you might have with the existing footer. Make the first 2 feet storage. If you must have the floor space increase the depth...

We have done this twice. We have a panasonic base with 4 phones total. We kept one in the barn at the old house probably 100 ft from the base. The phone would always ring but usually you had to go outside the barn to talk. At the new house I will take one with me not any near the distance as...

Usually use a side grinder with a diamond blade to cut the frame.

The standard practice is to tie them into the block when it is laid up. But unless you want to remove a bunch of block you can't do that with a replacement door. To remove the frame we would cut through the metal part of the frame cutting it into about two foot chunks. We would then bust the...

Sounds like it is a commercial door frame. You will have to find a company that supplys doors frames and hardware for commercial buildings. What you will have to do is bust cut and demo out the old frame. The new frame should be set up for anchors that go through to the block. On a commercial...

I am a retired comercial carpenter. I have hung quite a bit of frp. They make a carbide blade knife for formica work. This is what my favorite cutting tool was.Minimal dust. Just score the sheet a couple of times and snap it. If your cutting curves or angles I second the good pair of tin...

I have refurbished some phillips head screw drivers. I very carefully grind the outside of the point trying to do it equally on all four sides. I keep a phillips screw there to test my grind against. I usually have to grind some off the point of the screwdriver also. These are not as good as a...

Just a quick question. Would it be possible to design a reasonably priced add on kit for motorcycle work?

Howdy all long time lurker here. I have enjoyed this forum for about three years and have picked up many ideas and enjoyed a lot of the build threads. Probably won't post much but I will have some comments from time to time. Thanks to Ryan and the moderaters for such a great forum...
