Rest in Peace Bud!!

paint I just paid 13K for mine. we did remove all of the paint as well as change the body mounts. But I must agree you get what you pay for. here is a picture of the car after the paint job

Well done Congrats :beer I read the article last week. I love the color. My vette is also a charcoal bowling green Vette.

I agree bring bck the real corvette tail lights!!!

ok now i am concerned. what is the color of the oil? I the increase of the oil level has to come from somewhere. what was the oil pressure like when the car started to act up?

I do believe that the 82 vette has the L83 engine so it would have an electric fuel pump located in the fuel tank to feed the cross fire fuel injection. You should definitely not run the engine again until you figure out the cause. what is the coolant level?

door panels The standard door panel were vinyl. The seats were a combo vinyl on the outside and the center panels were leather. Larry

Congratulations on the the Vette. I love the 80-82 vettes.... that is probably why I bought my 81. at least you have the OD trans.

I agree. Every time I take my vette out I always get a thumbs up or "Cool car"

I never get tired of seeing your car you did a really nice job.

I am a little late to this rodeo but the only thing that i can add to this is that for flat tappet engines Like ours we need Zinc and Phosphorus. the new oils do not have enough zddp to protect the cams from wear. For example Castrol sytech offers a special formula with higher levels of ZDDP...

Thanks again Sensei, any recommendations on the heads Maybe edelbrock, gmpp, or RHS heads I would love a set of dart but they are very expensive i want to stay with cast iron, so that it keeps the stock look. again thanks for the help.

Sensei, i thank you for your input. It puts me at ease. as the cam after some research i was considering the 268H. what do you think?

The only thing that I can add is that I have sent these guys a few e-mails asking about some parts for my '81 and I have never had a response. After reading this I guess it was a god thing. :beer

I am sure i am no the first nor will I be the last to ask this question..... this is what i have 81 with L81 engine stock with the exception of true dual exhaust with magnaflows. air pump removed. diff rebuilt with gear swap to 3:54. I want to keep my computer but I want more power. currently...
