Thank You Gents for all the great info.

I appreciate the response, Although I do not want to play the numbers game, I enjoy my '66 stroker and would not change a thing, but having restored several Corvettes, I find it much easier to go back with the original equipment that the car was intended to have. I find that GM engineers had a...

I am looking at a '66 NOM Vette that is said to be an original 427-car. I have a correct '66 427 Corvette engine set-up looking for "the right car". I have been told that some of the indicators of a true midyear big-blocks are: Original AZ code big block rear, Rear sway bar, seven leaf springs...

Hello 70 Stingray, This last winter I removed and reinstalled my '70 454 wth the bell-housing attached. I did have to remove the radiator and rad-core-support but not the A/C condensor. I simply moved it forward. I hade no problem reinstalling the big-block. once in the enging bay, that last 4-6...

I just completed a RR on my big-block and although I removed the hood, radiators and support, it was still tricky geting the engine and bell housing all back in and seated on the mounts with out damaging any of the delicate fiberglass. There isn't much clearence between the bell housing and the...

As I understand it, Red 70vette is correct only California cars were delivered with the A.I.R. option. The rest of us did not get that option.

When I replaced the trailing arms about 1 year ago, I got some advice from a profesional corvette restoration shop. I was told to measure the distance from the trailing arm to the outside of the frame pocket on both sides before removing the arms. re-installing was easy becauase all I had to...

As far as I know, this LS5 was not equiped with A.I.R. I have read an TCS article on NCRS claiming to improve the idle? Also, I have only seen these parts for sale on ebay. Thanks for the tip on the block decking.
