What is better about Plasti-kote? Color? Durability? Some folks have said
I should use POR-15.

I'm not looking for that kind of compression. I haven't checked to see how

I have a .030 over 350 in my 66. I updated the cooling system to accommodate
the heating up problem. I used 9.5:1 pistons then used a set of completely
reworked 64cc heads that were shaved to bring the compression ratio to

Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with a .060 350? I have a chance
to pick up a fresh short block for cheap, but I wonder if it will be prone
to overheating. I've never built or ran one .060 over. It would be a mild
build for semi-daily use. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

Shoot, you'd be running 8's... One of my employees was running high 8's with
a tubocharged '93 Mustang stroker small block and didn't have $40k tied-up
in it including the trailer. He ran 10's with a supercharger in it and drove
it to work. The only inconvenience, really, was the roll cage.

A few questions questions regarding '66 Chevelle SS radio bezel and glove box bezels.
I have seen via aftermarket '66 radio bezels that are smooth faced and ones that has small ribbed lines going horizontal across the face Which is correct for a '66 SS?
