What is that a 70

2020-09-04 18:30:29 UTC  

The El Camino’s are really cool, but get horrible gas mileage... 12MPG... But hey, at least you’ll get more smiles per gallon!

2020-09-04 22:01:55 UTC  

Lets be real, if you're buying a classic American car with a potent V8 in it, you don't care about mpg

2020-09-05 01:21:10 UTC  

I like my cars like I like my women

2020-09-05 01:21:15 UTC  

Made in the USA

2020-09-05 01:21:39 UTC  

Can go one step further with my vette

2020-09-05 01:21:42 UTC  

Take the top off

2020-09-05 03:09:13 UTC  

Sorry haven’t checked this server in a bit

2020-09-05 03:09:53 UTC  

It has no engine rn and yes I believe it might be a 70 but I can never remember

2020-09-05 03:11:44 UTC  

Can't go wrong with a good old-fashioned 350 small block

2020-09-05 03:11:50 UTC  

Yes

2020-09-05 03:12:19 UTC  

When I showed my friends they thought whatever they get will be nothing compared to it

2020-09-05 03:15:11 UTC  

I got a pretty stout little 350 in my corvette. The tone that thing puts out is a godsend

2020-09-05 03:15:43 UTC  

Makes enough grunt to get the car moving in third gear in spite of having a 3.36 rear end and a 1.28:1 ratio for third

2020-09-05 18:00:00 UTC  

Got to admit I’m still new to car stuff, so do t really what any of those numbers mean

2020-09-05 18:00:43 UTC  

Which ones?

2020-09-05 18:01:21 UTC  

3.36 rear end and 1.28:1 ratio for third

2020-09-05 18:01:34 UTC  

Those are gear ratios

2020-09-05 18:01:42 UTC  

Ok

2020-09-05 18:02:28 UTC  

In the industry they're referred to as "tall" if they're numerically smaller and "short" if they're numerically larger

2020-09-05 18:03:07 UTC  

Shorter gears give the engine more leverage and allow it to rev quicker, so you will generally get better acceleration at the cost of top speed

2020-09-05 18:03:25 UTC  

Oh ok

2020-09-05 18:04:00 UTC  

That's why you have a transmission with different gear ratios in it

2020-09-05 18:04:13 UTC  

So does your car have longer gears?

2020-09-05 18:04:15 UTC  

Ok

2020-09-05 18:04:25 UTC  

Yes. My car has very long gears

2020-09-05 18:04:38 UTC  

What’s the fastest you’ve gone?

2020-09-05 18:04:58 UTC  

Heh. So far with this thing, just fast enough to bring it into my garage... lol

2020-09-05 18:05:07 UTC  

Lol

2020-09-05 18:05:13 UTC  

It's a project car

2020-09-05 18:05:30 UTC  

So it’s gonna take away to finish?

2020-09-05 18:05:40 UTC  

Yeah, and a lot of money

2020-09-05 18:05:45 UTC  

Awhile*

2020-09-05 18:06:01 UTC  

It will prob be worth it tho

2020-09-05 18:06:30 UTC  

Oh, yeah

2020-09-05 18:07:02 UTC  

Well good luck that thing will be sick

2020-09-05 18:07:28 UTC  

Much appreciated, bro. I got a bunch of stuff in the pipeline for it

2020-09-05 18:08:05 UTC  

Transmission was just rebuilt, and it's getting a competition shifter installed on it. Brand new flywheel and clutch

2020-09-05 18:08:19 UTC  

Nice

2020-09-05 18:08:50 UTC  

Fun shit

2020-09-05 18:09:28 UTC  

Yes very fun
