Check the lid for warpage

Did you get a billet lid or casting?

U was going to mention that my 13 year old daughter screwed the filter on, but I didn't want to get Mike all amp'd up.

Sorry about that. They tighten up real easy on the engine stand.

Cool! Congrats! What are the specs and expected hp/torque?

I am curious myself.
Mike gave me a blank check (so to speak) and I build this one the way I would have build it for myself.
This one should run much quicker than the 383 I had under my hood. Better heads, cam, etc than my junk.
Mike is also running my trans and 9.5 inch converter.
MSeven is doing the tuning, so he is in great shape.

Once it is dialed in, beat it hard!

If it works that well with soda I wonder how it would do with beer.

Mike and Don,
Thanks for the break down on the packages. I bought the fun field.

I would like to meet with all of you guys when we get there on Saturday. Maybe we can all go out to dinner after the show.

Let me know if you think we can put this together.
Will

Mike, have you guys discussed where you are going to meet? or what time? Maybe I can hook up with you guys. You are welcome to come by our tent and meet there if you like. It should be marked on the Carlisle Map you get.

So I have a question for Don or PeteK.

What package do I pre register for??

I'm not there to get my car judged, race or anything.

We are there to park the car and see the people/vendors/show.

Looking at driving up Saturday morning, seeing the show Saturday, sleep at the hotel Staurday night, a little bit more of the show Sunday and driving home Sunday afternoon/evening.

thanks
Will

I can never say enough good about Pete K. He built a 383 for me about a year ago and I have to say he never complained once about all the stupid and frequent question I asked him..He helped me every step of the way and explained the whole process to me,Im honored to call him a friend. So heap on the accolades, Pete is one man that deserves them...WW

"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.

That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest."

First off, I can be arrested for deciding NOT TO FLY?

And what happened to our 4th Amendment right?

I'm beginning to think the TSA is becoming the "national police".
Didn't the Germans have a national police force?

Wasn't that group called the Gestapo?
Formed by who? And for what purpose?

This isn't just about body searches anymore.

Bog Grizzly - I saw that split window drive in front of the grandstand to get the award. It sounded mean. Got to hand it to them for driving that to the show.
WW7 - Was that you parked next to Mike at the show? You have a supercharger on your car, right?
I never saw you by the car even with the many times I passed by. I would like to discuss your blower install sometime and see if it might be something I would want to do.
The crew I hang with now included several C5 Z06s, C6 Z06s, one Grand Sport convertible and a brand new red ZR1. I would at least like to be able to keep them in sight when they pull away from me on a street run!

The first one 20002, is for 85-88.

The second is for 89-91.

There is a link on the page, "check application" I'm guessing the difference is the cold start injector.

Thanks Mike. Although you guys are swelling my head, I appreciate the compliments.
As far as a motor for you, we can do whatever makes sense, and I will do my best.
My machinest has been hit hard by the economy. I am trying my best to generate some income for him. His skill, ability and attitude are perfect, so I don't mind acting as his agent. He has 3 kids to feed, so I will continue push whatever I can, his way.On this, and as many builds as possible, I am assembling, he is machining. I enjoy doing them, and wish to continue.
Thanks again.

PS:
If you still have my cell #, we can kick some ideas around. If not, I will pm you with the number.

I was suprised. My machinest was offended by Blockman, and shot him a little info regarding his method of machining. He immediately calmed down.

Dale,

Just track down a stock LT1 exhaust system... There is a Corvette recycler in Indiana, Tiber(sp?). Or even calling Vette2vette.

The thing is, stock LT1 is a throwaway piece. Hell, wait until the next Corvettes at Carlisle and when they are doing exhaust installs, see if you can snag up on one!

You will need brackets and they are cheap enough. There is a front bracket, two middle brackets and two muffler hangers.

Easy.

Get the LTs and have them adapted with bullet cats to the stock LT1 exhaust.

As far as I am concerned they would be better off to dump them all in the ocean and create a new reef and habitat for fish. Contrary to the popular belief I think Toyota builds crappy cars.

I thought I was the only one that felt that way.
I rent a car typically once or twice a week. So you can imagine I get to drive quite the assortment of cars.
Every single time I get a toyota, it seems to be a piece of shit. Loose steering, rattles and an overall "old" feeling to it, even though it has 3 or 4 thousand miles on it.
I don't get the Toyota thing.
