Fuck all these people on my street that think they own the street and can reserve their parking spots. I’ll pay somebody $50 to come get them all (like 6?) and I’ll hit ya up every time I need it done, cuz they’ll just keep putting them out there.

Does anybody know the sizes and lengths of the water pump bolts for a Buick 430? I can’t find the correct sizes online to save my life, only kits that sell them but no description. I also need the 3 bolts that lock down the alternator bracket, I believe all 3 are different lengths. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I got the new motor dropped in already, just trying to get it together.

Got my brackets and pulleys down to bare metal, but no epoxy primer at the store. Is etching primer ok and then paint over?

Hi everybody, I just had my engine rebuilt, and I need to paint the brackets and a couple other odds and ends around the engine bay. What paint should I be using? Cans or a spray gun is fine, I have a spray gun with a big compressor.

What exactly should I be looking at besides compression when picking out an engine? Bunch of people local to me selling them and I don’t want to get a dud. I also don’t want to have to rip the engine apart.

What color ECU and harness do I need for a 6.0 DBC? The standalone I’m looking at says it’s for the 6.0 DBC, and the ECU connectors are blue and red. I’ll be grabbing an unlocked ECU off eBay just to get it running and then I bring it for dyno straight from there, correct?

Hello everybody, I’m trying to raise my house and have a second floor added on but I’m not entirely sure who I should be calling. Do I just call a renovation company? Or am I looking for a home builder? The only contractors I know only do stuff like bathrooms/kitchens.

Back again looking for some car people! I’m finally almost finished up healing from an accident, and am dying to start wrenching again. If anybody has a car that they need some work done and can’t really afford to have it fixed at a shop, reach out to me! Especially if you’ve got brakes/suspension issues! Just to be clear I do NOT have a shop or anything, just looking to help out whoever needs it

Just as the title says everybody! I’m looking to use tuffblocks with 4x4’s notched for 2x6’s for the floor. 2x4’s for the walls, and 2x6 for the leaning rafters. Will I be ok using all these dimensions of wood, or do I need to go up in size somewhere? I’ll be keeping some tools on one end, and the other side is gonna be more for hanging out. No tool box/ride on mower or anything like that. I’d say maybe the heaviest it will ever see is maybe an engine I’m storing in there.

Hey everybody, was having my 430 rebuilt and the guy says I need new shafts and rockers, but nothing is available for the 430, only the 455. I’ve been doing some research and see some people use 455 parts, but with modifications to the oil passages. Was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this kinda thing, or maybe if somebody can make a recommendation on what I should do here.

Got a 472 in my fleetwood that comes into a Y and goes single exhaust. Im going to be doing dual exhaust, but not sure what mufflers to throw in. I don’t want it to be roaring going down the street, but I want it to be like “huh that dont sound like a Honda coming”. Still wanna keep that kinda Cadillac class. My buick will be getting the flowmaster 40s, but that’s already dual exhaust I just gotta replace the mufflers.

Just as the title says, I’m just looking to practice doing body work and painting. If you have a fender, a hood or anything really, I’d be willing to pay if you could deliver it or I could rent a truck to move it. Obviously I’m just looking for scrap pieces, nothing in good condition. Hit me up!

I just got me a new paint gun and need to practice using it. If anybody has an older car that the headlights are all foggy and yellow, shoot me a message if I can practice making them look good again! I’ll be sanding the headlights down and then clear coating them

Just as the title says. My Elantra has been pulling to the right since I’d say like August 25’ (Car was purchased brand new in March 25’) and Hyundai says nothing is wrong with the alignment and keeps giving me the car back. But the car still pulls to the right. Literally as soon as you let go of the steering wheel, you can see the steering wheel jerk to the right a hair. Has anybody had this issue before? I’m ready to just leave it at the dealership at this point. I didn’t buy a brand new car to be told “your alignments fine” if the alignment isn’t the issue, FIGURE OUT WHAT IS.
