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! |

Thanks for the compliments guys. The motor was spec'd for driveability and idle quality. It will definatlty produce some torque. The old L98 was getting tired so I figured why not.But then got to thinking about the 25 yo trans sooo....
Ya know the rest of the deal. Hope to get the tune well on it's way before snow but we are overdue for that. Pete builds a sweet motor. Again, Thanks for the compliments Mike |

I will be honest, to me, there is nothing better than taking an older car and putting a new motor into it.
Just because it is older doesn't mean it's useless, and this ends up being more financially sound than going out and buying a new expensive car. Insurance, registration fees... and depending on the state, taxes and such, are all cheaper. |

My old car got much more attention today at Cars & Coffee than the six other new C6 Z06 and Grand Sports. It just sounds meaner and more old school than the newer sewing machines.

To be honest the rest of the car is basically new. Did alot ofprep work knowing this was going to happen. J55 brakes,all poly suspension,Dewitts rad and fan,rear end reseal,ujoints,all sensors,repaired any harness defects etc.
This has occured over the last five years.Car has excellent paint,nice interior. In 2010 it was a celeberty pick at Carlisle. It also appeared in Corvette Enthusiast mag in May 2010. I am a bit anal about the condition but it ain't no garage queen...it has its share of stone chips.I just prefer a C4. Can I afford the C6 that I would purchase...Yes. Do I want it? Nope...   |

I know what you mean about the C4 Mike. To me it has an older muscle car feel to it only better.
