For what it's worth Fantom Works in Virginia put an LT4 in a '69 Chevelle. It took major revision of the front frame as that engine is huge in length and width but it did work and sound fantastic. They got the engine as a crate sale, so I would guess it is obtainable.

All seasons in correct sizes for 5BW! 50 mileage warranty, 186 mph rated. So inexpensive they're probably Chinese, but available at Discount for around 700 for all 4...anyone heard of these??

Have driven plenty of them at 20degrees with a lot of extra care. In the case of the 5BW there appears to be no viable alternative. Awareness of traction issues is certainly needed. I'm referring to the warning that those tires could actually crack or blowout in the cold, which seems entirely a...

Anybody actually know of cases where the OE Michelins have failed due to cold? I suspect liability language....

Only problem with full cutoff is that you lose all the settings on everything...

Anyone wire a toggle into the pump circuit? location for wiring would be helpful. This old hack saved my BMW from going missing 50 years ago.
