Eastside Cruisers

We can completely swap drivelines Brett... You can have the 290 and I'll find some cash to rebuild the Chev and drop it in my car!

Hey Brett, Gary just ordered himself some convos, what size tyres do you run on the front? What the biggest you reckon you can squeeze onto a 4" rim>

Kumho make a 185/80/15
fits nice on a 4 or 5 inch rim

Mine are 165/80x15's. I was told that was as wide as I could go on a 4" rim. They bulge a fair bit as it is. Would really like to see a 185 on a 4" rim to see how they sit, but I think they are probably more suited to at least a 5" rim. Long term I'd rather put fatties on the front of mine again, I've had cheese-cutters forever. Fatties definitely provide superior turning.

Bit of an update on the old girl....

This shows the colour of what I drained out of the sump:



And here's one of my spark plugs (rear-most cylinder on the driver's side):

Intake manifold off... notice anything wrong here?



What is this stuff doing in my valley??



Naughty pushrod!



Hi, my name is LXCHEV, I like eating pushrods and metal

Next I pulled one of the heads off.....

Someone has stolen my VALVE!!!

So who would like to see photos of the block??

Was that oil in the sump or was it used as a septic tank at some point.
