Hello everybody!
My name is Eike and I own a '91 Corvette which is getting a 383 right now. My friend Axel/Woodstock recommended to get on this forum as you guys have a huge technical knowledge relating to C4. I've got a notion that I can learn a lot from you ... Best wishes from Germany Eike  |

Now THAT'S how you use a pair of work gloves. Love it. I hate wearing gloves when I work on cars so that's how I'll use mine when I drop the 405 back in the '77.
Welcome to the forum Eike. Walk us through what you're doing, why, and what part of the process are we seeing? |

Thanks for welcome. The pic shows the '85 C4 of my wife - needs a lot of work. It will get the modified 350 out of my '91 and I'll go with a Golen built 383. Currently I need some advice on the head bolts and the intake gasket (post at C4 Technical).
The mods I did (big thanks to Woodstock who supported me a lot) until now are: - lowering - custom tuned Z51 shocks - 2001 Z06 wheels - C5 brake at the front with stainless pistons (as for less thermal conductivity) - brake bias spring - bigger sway bars - full set of poly bushings - new ball joints - 3.07 Dana 44 - Racelogic Tracion Control - Engine/Tranny oil cooler - rebuilt TH700 - tossed frisbee - some mods on the engine like portet heads, cam, intake - DIY oil catch can - Hooker headers coated by Swain Tech Will post some pics of my 383 on C4 tech ... Best wishes Eike |

Thanks for all the welcome. I live 85 miles south to Woodstock near the city Osnabrück.
Btw, got my Vette from Grand Junction in 2004. Yes, you can go offroad with a C4 ...    |

Welcome aboard Eike. You've got a couple nice projects there. There are some purists who would have a heart attack seeing your pictures of the Corvette off the paved roads. (I'm not one of those
 ) I think these cars were designed and meant to be driven.....go for it , buddy. Please do keep us posted on your progress. |
