Description
Contents: Up Front – Bench Build (Build a cool car, please) Hands On – Horsepower! (Check out this turbocharged inline-six. It will embarrass a few V-8s); Speed Parts (Rolling parts shelves get the official CC thumbs up); Header Building Mock-Up Tool (When you see how easy it is to use these blocks to build custom headers, you’ll wonder why you didn’t come up with the idea yourself); The Animal (Meet our new friend – a small-block Chevy built to withstand copious amounts of turbo-enabled boost. Care and feeding is easy. The Animal only needs 91 octane and perhaps a small charge cooler to reward us with mountains of horsepower and, eventually, billowing clouds of tire smoke); Flat-Tappet Cam Break-In (Break it in right or risk going broke rebuilding the engine); Ask Anything (Tech Editor Smith weighs in on intercooler plumbing. Thankfully, you will find no plumber butt on these pages) Project Car – This Guy’s Garage (Mark Stielow builds cars in a normal garage! We were thinking they just materialized from some exotic race car shop on Mars); Build A Panther (Coilovers on a Crown Victoria? You betcha) Features – Krass & Bernie (We’ll try this look for our next paint and body issue); Ten Cars For $10K (A 23-page extravaganza of awesome cars you don’t need to be a GE exec to build. Highlights include an 11-second Malibu, a brown Vega, and a daily driver/track day Mustang and Camaro) Back Of Book – Junkyard Builder (Why pay retail for relays when they are sitting at the junkyard?); Where’s The Fun? (We lead this section with a Fountain of Youth Chevelle, end with a broken 9-inch spool, and give you a little eye-candy in between); On The Back (We Googled the phrase “smokin’ hot” and these pages came up); Rear View (The Don Schumacher Stardust Barracuda – it is the inspiration for our ongoing ’71 Demon project car)
