Subject: Hey Guys! by TimAT on 2008/2/24 3:59:55 I just sort of arrived here. I don't have a C4, I've got a C3. '69 Roadster. Im the third owner, I've known the car since 1971 when the second owner (next door neighbor) bought it. Original engine was a 427/435 L-89. Aluminum heads and Tri-Power. That engine died in '72 and was replaced with a crate L-88 at the dealer. (we were both working there at the time as mechanics  . that L-88 broke the cam between the 2nd and 3rd bearings in 1974. (I've still got the iron heads that came on that crate motor, BTW, all the valves were dead, but the heads and intake was all that was left. Anyway, in 1978 the PO bought a LS-7 crate engine- that's in the car now. Enough 'bout the car.Me, after 20 some years wrenching in various GM dealers doing engines, trannys, axles, and lots of whatever, I went to commercial aircraft. Now after 20 years of that, I made it to Inspection. No more toolbox, just a mirror and a flashlight. :toothy8: So now I work 14 days on anywhere in the world, and get 7 days off. they put me on a plane, send me where they want me, and then fly me back home for the days off. when I'm home, it's play with the girlfriend, the grandkids, the Vette, and the Harley. |
