 Transplanting a modern engine into an older car presents many challenges, one being the engine management system and gauge panel display. We chose to run a Mast Motorsports M90 ECM for a variety of reasons. Mast has been a leader in the GenIV engine family for some time, and they retail a whole line of ready-to-run high performance crate engines ranging up to 700 Horsepower, and when controlled by their M90 ECM, they are completely street drivable. We used the M90 ECM, a Mast harness, and their drive-by-wire throttle pedal in our GTO. The M90 features complete tunability, wideband O2 feedback, and knock sensor feedback to let high performance engines run on pump gas without issue. The L92 V8 engine uses electronic sensors on the block for vital functions, and the info is all sent to the Mast Motorsports M90 Engine Management system just as it would be in the 2007 GMC Yukon the in which engine was originally installed. The M90 features CAN network connectivity, which allows it to pass data from the ECM to other devices. Watch the video and read on how the we used very trick Mast CAN Network gauges to monitor the GTO's vitals in a clean, simple manner.

 Quarter panels are one of the most rust and dent-prone parts of
musclecars, and our 1965 Chevelle had some of each. Mostly dents.
Thankfully, OPGI came out with new reproduction full quarter panels
for 1965 Chevelles. In this video, we show you how to remove your old
panel and install the new. Also applies to other GM A Bodies like
Skylarks, Cutlasses, GTOs and others.

 Our '65 Chevelle drove in on a low-performance 350 cubic inch Chevy replacement engine that was reported to have less than 10,000 miles on it. Initially, we contemplated doing a late-model EFI swap on this car, but then we thought we'd take a look at what we had and see what kind of shape it was in. Turns out that the 350 is a parts-store type replacement engine with 4-bolt mains and a very clean bottom end. The cast iron heads and cam were not very exciting, so we used the Dynomation engine simulation software to whip up a new recipe. In this installment, we clean up the engine, repaint the short block, and install a new Comp Cams Xtreme Energy cam, lifters, timing set, new Holley performance aluminum cylinder heads, a Weiand Action Plus intake manifold, an MSD Pro-Billet distributor, some Flowtech headers, and a Holley 670 Street Avenger carb. Some of the parts we already had like the MSD unit, the intake, and the carb, but the cam and heads are new. Here's how it went.

 There are those who think the 2006 Ford GT is fast enough from the factory. Of course, we're firm believers in maximizing performance, so we visited our buddies at GRC Performance while they installed an upgraded supercharger pulley, exhaust, and air filters to this modern supercar. The power gains are remarkable, and the car retains it's modern drivability.
This is a 2 part video, so be sure to watch after the Royal Purple break for the dyno results!

 Visual upgrade for your Chevy
By Jim McGowan
The steering wheel and dashboard are the two items in your Chevy that you see constantly while driving. They just wont get out of your way! Since youre the captive audience of these parts, they should look as cool as possible. We followed a Grant Products steering wheel upgrade, being installed in a restomod 67 Camaro convertible. The owner always envied the later model factory Rosewood steering wheel, which was optionally available, and decided to find an attractive substitute. This new three-spoke beauty (#973, 14.5-inch diameter, 3-inch dish)) from Grant Products was the choice. It replicates the style and design of the original, and provides a great look and feel while cruising.
