What could have been an issue was just a minor shift in the plans, and that usually means spending more money. But that’s what hot rodding is all about: discoveries and making changes. We merely punctured the oil filter, it could’ve been worse.
Project Windstorm: A Milestone Was Finally Reached!
We reached a milestone: we finally dropped the engine into place for a test fit and to assist with planning for the electrical and other components. It was a long wait, but it sure felt good to see how it’s all coming together. The Hellvedere II is officially here.
The Leno Show: Leno’s Law Likely Not For You
We’ll admit it: we were excited about Leno’s Law, too. And when it failed the first time, we were angry because it’s getting harder and harder to find emissions parts for our 40 year old cars. But when it was signed into law, we all got a little giddy. Too soon?
Project Windstorm: Connecting the Dots on the Redeye
One of the more appealing aspects of an older car is the simplicity of the electrical system: no fancy sensors and switches that control engine function. But swapping a modern engine into a classic changes that perspective as we added the Crate Harness to the Redeye.
Project Windstorm: Creature Comforts for the Cruiser
We swore that at some point Project Windstorm was going to have the ultimate A/C system for those hot summer nights. But planning for it in a modified vehicle like Project Windstorm is made much simpler with the Vintage Air Gen 5 Magnum Mock-Up Kit.
Catch Can vs. Air/Oil Separator: Aren’t They The Same?
An oil separator – or catch can – can be a very important component that shouldn’t be overlooked whether you’re swapping a modern engine into a classic car, or you own a modern vehicle. But if they’re so good, why don’t new cars have them?
Project Windstorm: It’s Time To Get This Hellcat In Gear
We’ve been asked a few times when we’re going to get our Project Windstorm back on the road. We finally made a decision to solicit some help from a friend to get the work done that we needed, and to get the swap rolling. But wait, there’s more!
California’s RTEP Law – What It Means For Your Vehicle
We seem to keep taking hit after hit after hit with our classic cars here in California. Now the governor has signed into law the RTEP, which will require a more inferior tire to replace the tires we like, all in the name of efficiency. This might not play out well.
The Sleeper: The Misconceptions About The Coolest Cars
When you hear someone say that a classic musclecar is a sleeper, what do you expect to see when you turn to see it? Instead of trying to convince you to agree with us, we asked a couple of friends we watched on TV to see what they have to say about it.
Project Windstorm: It’s Time To FEAD Our Hellcat Redeye
As with most any modern engine swap for a classic car, there’s going to be some modern technology that comes along with it. Fortunately, we weren’t left to searching the wrecking yards for a few of the parts, they were available directly from Mopar.
