L92/LS3 CNC Ported Heads
I’ve been doing lots of dreaming about building my own engine lately. It is pretty easy to make 500 naturally aspirated horsepower with the LS series of engines; GM already did that combination for you in the corvettes and camaros. … Continue reading
Betty’s A/C
In my renewed interest to get Betty operational as a daily-driver, I decided to tackle the air conditioner system. I assumed it would need a new compressor, since the clutch was hot-wired on and it was running non-stop for who … Continue reading
W123 / 300D EGR, ARV, and ALDA systems
Recently, I’ve been working to get Betty running better. My main complaint was how dog-ass-slow the car accelerated from a stop to about 20 MPH. I installed a boost gauge and could see that the acceleration picked up as soon … Continue reading

Betty’s Wastegate
After lots of cleaning, close inspection with a flashlight and mirror, then lots of fiddling with a jewler’s screwdriver, I finally removed the cap off of the wastegate. This would probably be an easy task if you could see what … Continue reading

I met up with a friend from college that I recently learned lives just down the road from me. He is a fellow car enthusiast and suggested I come check out the Cars and Coffee show this morning. I was impressed with … Continue reading
The Starfish and the Spider
My favorite subjects: Internet, Open Source Software / Linux, how napster/kazaa/eMule whipped up on the monster music companies, the birth and success of wikipedia.org, ebay.com, craigslist.org, Skype, and how American car companies lost their dominance. Naturally, a book that discussed these … Continue reading

Mason Jar Box Design – Version 2
Digging through box after box of unorganized mason jars last night to find the ones I needed was enough motivation for me to decide to move forward with my little box-building project. I thought of a better way to make … Continue reading
Strawberry Jam
Sprouts is selling strawberries for $0.97/pound right now. This is what $6 of strawberries + $5 of sugar + $3 of pectin, and several hours of my time yielded tonight. 12 half-pint jars and 3 3/4-pint jars. It took me … Continue reading
