  1.                  The biggest problem with most frame extensions is the material used. Many jobs are done with only cold roll about 62,000 lb tensile strength. Standard rails

                      from factory are 80,000 lb tensile strength and can go as high as 120,000 lb. Plus many liners or inside frame rails that are installed are nothing more than

                      cold roll formed. I've done major frame jobs through the years and never had any problems, knock on wood.

  2. Main shaft end play, rear main shaft support bearing or input shaft bearing allowing 3rd and 4th sliding clutch to move, does the shift lever move fore and aft 

    when throttling up or down while moving. Plus 3rd and 4th gear clutching teeth are probably worn right along with the sliding clutch teeth. 3rd and 7th are 

    used alot and first to go. Plus a worn broken main shaft key can cause issues too.

  3. It's a synchronizer hub in the back section, and yes you do have to remove the counter shaft bearing covers and install retaining straps to hold the counter shafts in-place

    It is much easier to just remove the transmission, stand vertical on bell, install straps on counter shafts and remove the rear section. It's easier to reinstall plus easier to

    check/reset counter shaft end play.. 

  4.        In civilian life once you drop the hammer your life has changed forever and usually not for anything good. Fact

           And your giving the little pukes too much credit-----they don't even know what the word liberal means. Their only goal in life is to be destructive.

  5.           I remember a 69 issue of HOT ROD mag that pitted the Z28, Boss 302 and the AMX. The AMX killed the other two, Both the Z28 and the boss couldn't break 100 without slicks.

              I owned three of these at one time years ago, two GTA's one GT. One GTA had a 428 with a manual body C6 with a Side Winder intake and several other fast parts.

  6. Brazil has thousands of acres of soy beans and china is their big buyer. And china has adopted our eating habits when they let the golden arches move in.

    They are starting to have trouble with obesity especially in children, eating too many of those rotten french fries that are nothing but grease, starch and salt.

    Obesity in america has surpassed smoking as the number one problem, really the fast food joints is Americas biggest enemy, people are fat and they don't want to work.

    Mc Donalds, Burger Stench, Taco Smell, Pizza Smut and the rest have produced food that is total garbage. Two egg Mc Stuffins and you just ate half your days intake

    in calories. I think the object in america is to gain weight not loose it. Women with a roll above the waist line--how many do you see in a Sandals Caribbean add. None

    because no one wants to see that.
