I’ve got way too many projects in the back yard right now, and half of ‘em have transmission issues. I’ve considered getting ‘em rebuilt, but it seems like everyone wants a small fortune to rebuild a tranny — you can buy one new for less. Take for example, this 4L60E transmission by Monster Transmission and […]

Seems like the GM LS-1 is the motor to have right now, and JE Pistons has come through with a cool part for anyone who’s planning on building one up. Available in flat top and inverted dome configurations and for a variety of compression ratios, these pistons are made from a new high-silicon 4032 aluminum […]

Having a truck that lays the frame on the ground is cool, but laying the gas tank isn’t cool. After all, with the price of gas today, there’s no reason to waste it by spilling it out through a hole you dragged in the tank. To avoid that problem, the fabricators at Suicidedoors.com have […]

This thing we call the intertube is really cool. I’ve been researching doing an LS1 swap into my ‘84 Chevy truck, and after a quick Google search I found a site that not only sells all the parts for the swap, but details the build every step of the way. Street & Performance offers motor […]

If you don’t have the time, tools, and know-how to fully design and build a custom rear suspension for your truck, you’ll be happy to hear that KP Components feels your pain. They’ve devised a solution: a bolt-on 4-link and cantilever package that you can easily install in a solid day. At the end of […]

600 horsepower can turn a set of tires into a pile of expensive rubber dust pretty quickly, and if that’s your goal, Katech Engine Development has one hell of an option for you. Katech is known for building turn-key engines for the performance crowd, and for years their 427 ci Street Attack engine has been […]

If you sprung for an ’07 Hummer last year, you might not realize that GM made a bunch of changes to the H2 for the 2007 model, rendering many aftermarket exhausts incompatible. Thankfully, Corsa came through in the clutch, assembling a new kit compensating for changes in the H2 SUT and SUV.

Points suck — they do nothing for performance or your sanity. Really. If you’re notalgic for ‘em, we feel sorry for you. The good news: if you have an older GM, Ford, or Mopar V8 with single point distributors (or, God forbid, dual point AC/Delco distributors) Accel has the gear you need to get rid of […]

In the old days, you could buy a “shift kit” for your transmission — basically a box with some steel balls, and valve bodies. And oh yeah, you had to be a nuclear physicist (or have a lot of transmission experience) to install the sucker. Today’s electronically-controlled transmissions are a bit easier to upgrade. All […]

Now that Dodge Chargers are making their way into the hands of your local constabulary, I dread the day when I might see the view pictured above slipping in behind me on a dark nighttime drive. These add-on halos are mean looking. The best part though, is that they aren’t just available for your Dodge […]
