How much will it cost to replace brake pads on my 1998 Chevy Corsica?

How much should I expect it to cost to replace the brake pads on my 1998 Chevy Corsica?|||Depends on the shop, the type of parts they use, and what is needing to be done. If they do the job correct and use high quality parts expect to pay around 200 dollars. If they just resurface the rotors and put on cost effective pads it will be around 100. Get a number of quotes and ask what will be done and the type of parts that are used.|||if you are doin it yourself(not at a shop) Then you can pick up a set of pads for like 15-20 dollars

How to get a black chevy emblem?

I have a 2010 malibu ltz and its black with a 40% window tint on some nice chrome rims. I want all the chevy emblems ( on the grille, trunk, etc) painted black with chrome outline. Where do i go and about how much is it?|||http://www.sfxperformance.com/mmy/2010/C鈥?/a> This is a good site.Best of luck.

How do I adapt a Chevy 60 degree V6 engine to a TH 350 transmission?

I want to adapt a Chevy 2.8L 60 degree V6 engine (with the GM "metric"boltpattern) to a TH350 transmission (GM "V8" bellhousing). I found an adapter but it is $60. The adapter kit only has the adapter. Not the motor mounts etc. Anyone know any other place to buy a Cheaper adapter/how to make one?|||Start contacting these folks listed below and ask questions about your specific application. That's how I found what I needed for my last swap.





The 2.8/TH350 is a popular Jeep setup ( http://www.novak-adapt.com/ ) but your question doesn't say what you're putting it in.





Transdapt ( http://www.tdperformance.com/TransDapt.h鈥?/a> ) has alot of adapters %26amp; mounts.





I just swapped a big block Mopar into my small block 70 charger and the motor mounts came from Schumacher ( http://www.engine-swaps.com/ ). They are mainly Mopar, but hey swappers do alot of odd-ball stuff and they might be able to help you out.





From your user name, I guess you've already tried V8monza.com - but if there's any swapping to be done with a monza/vega then they've done it.





You probably already know 2.8s from front-drivers probably won't have the casting bosses you need for longitudinal mounting in a RWD configuration.





Hope this helps.

Chevy truck makes grinding noise when it starts?

I have a 2000 chevy 3500 and every time i go to start it up it makes a horrible grinding noise. Once the engine is started and idling, it stops. Whats wrong, is the starter or something?|||starter bendix is going... thhe grind is the gaer meshing with the flywheel and not releasing... replace the starter|||sounds like the starter gear and ring gear are too far apart. A new starter motor will not fix this. The tranny ring gear is too warn. I quick fix this by filling away the starter mating surface away to bring the gears closer together. You can bring this back into spec with a serious parralel grinding off the starter housing mating flange. Hang on to that starter for future rebuilds.|||might be the starter... is it like the same kind of noise you'd get if you started up a car and cranked it again? cause thats a pretty god awful noise lol. I'd get it checked out, maybe the starter is on its way out.

How fast will my 83 chevy c-10 be on the dragstrip?

I am upgrading my chevy c-10 using an edelbrock power package. It boasts that it will give me a bolt on 410hp and 408ft/lbs. So how fast will my truck be after that?|||Have you done anything with the transmission? If not, it will top out at the same speed as before. But, it will do it a LOT quicker.


If it's stricktly for the track, you may need to get a tranny that's geared for the track. You will also need to make sure the rest of the drive train can handle the extra torq. You will also need to install a roll bar %26amp; other safety gear.


It takes a lot of work to get ready for track.|||A vehicle with 400 hp, that weighs 4000lbs can run mid twelves in the quarter mile if everything is optimized. First, you have no baseline run before your enginge upgrades, so you have no starting point. Guessing that a stock c10 will get down the track in somewhere less than twenty seconds,

|||70s and 80s cars and trucks are not known for power, i bt that you will not be impressed with the change. a c10 is a heavy truck. sure it has power but the numbers that you have listed, not even close. i have a 1968 GTO with numbers that are not too far from that, but that is from a different era. your final speed is defined by your gear ratios, really, with out knowing that you are at a loss.|||You are ahead of the game.


What you should have done was to go to the raceway before you did anything and run it just for some time slips. Then install the edelbrock and see what you picked up.


Remember, that truck is about 1000# heavier than a car so anybody that compares it to a car is full of it.|||That new rocket fuel addative is amazing isn't it. I'm figuring you'll break the sound barrier! becareful entering warp speed, time slows down, and your kids will grow old before you do.|||Without any other information, just guessing with a 3800 pound weight, I'd say you're looking around a 17 second 1/4 mile time.|||83 chevy?! Yeah

What will i have to do to make a stock 89 chevy 350 fuel injection compatable with a newer chevy vortec?

what all does the newer chevy 350 vortec (1996-2004) have that the 89 chevy 350 doesent. is it the engine it self or can i mod it up to a vortec. with like vortec heads and intake and what not.|||You can put 350 vortec heads on a TBI (throttle Body injection) engine.


You will have to get an aftermarket intake. GM Performance and Holley make them. They are about $295 new. The vortec heads are will make about 40 -70 more horse power on you 89. Check out WWW.TBICHIPS.COM The has a lot of information on putting Vortec heads on a TBI engine.

What is the best way to install a windshield in a 1969 chevy truck?

i am having trouble putting the front windshield in my 69 chevy truck any tips on how to put it in?|||this windshield uses a rubber seal. that rubber must be warm prior to the install and put around the windshield. when this is done, take a small nylon rope that has been sprayed with a lube(pb blaster, wd-40,etc) wrap it in the outer groove of the rubber seal. then lay the windshield over the opening of the truck, with the two ends of the rope at the center/ bottom of the glass. while someone is applying light pressure on the glass, slowing pulling both ends of the rope of the rubber seal over the lip of the body. this must be done slowly while massaging the windshield into place. after the rope has been pulled setting the rubber over the lip. continue the downward pressure until it has been fully set up. when you are all done. ally a trail of vasoline on the outside of the rubber, wiping the excess off afterwards. not that hard, takes patience, pressure, and two people.|||if that has the rubber all around it without the glue you need to get it out and save the rubber. i put my feet up on mine and pushed it out it was cracked and was really cracked after i got it out. glass everywhere. but after its out you have the rubber and didnt have to cut it. put the rubber on the glass and not on the body. then take some small but strong string put it all around the grove of the rubber that is on the glass and leave the two ends meet at the center in the bottom of the glass. set it in place and try to get steel edge in grove along the botom. then with someone applying LIGHT preasure to the glass on the out side sit inside and pull the strings straight back at equal amounts until you go all the way around|||I was going to suggest that you look up a HAYNES book (at the library or glance thru one in the auto store) but I'm not sure they'd have one for a 69. Check the library just in case though. 69... wow.





A quicker way would be to ask a friend or some bored looking dude at an autobody shop. If the the workerss are nice, they'll prob give you some advice, no hassle.|||just go new windshield on my 99 S 10...130 dollars cash...no insurance...if insurance 250 dollars.|||can't help....at all....but i have a question that troubles me...in current prices which one is more expensive?....the truck or the windshield?|||I would call someone out to put it in for me. Sorry|||If it has a rubber gasket around the outside, it too will need replaced, then use a small rope, after installing the gasket on the windshield, place the rope in the slot, ending the rope at the top, lay the lower gap on the steel frame, and pull the rope while someone holds the windshield.


If it has trim, just purchase a roll of butul from the auto parts store and it has directions with it.
