OK so i'm done with my head/cam swap. I noticed when inspecting the water pump that the weep hole was full of grease. I cleaned the grease out and SURPRISE it now leaks. My question is,I'm planning on installing side pipes(or headers) and i'm going to convert the lower alternator bracket to the...

"69 my way"(Chris) installed that setup on his "Killer" Corvette.Its the black Corvette on the cover of the Vette Brake Catalog. I'm sure there is a write up on his website Mcspeed.com.

Radiator definitely had to come out.(we all know what a P.I.T.A.that is) The top half came off without any surprises.Tomorrow starts the fun job of gasket clean up.

Just wondering as I plan to start my head and cam change tommorow. Can you remove the cam with the radiator still in place? Its a small block.

I don't know,at $25 bucks a piece I would inspect the frame when you get them apart and give anything suspicious a good re-weld.

The LT-1 drop base air cleaner is not going to clear that vent tube either. I've never seen a Holley with a vent tube there.

If both heads have the same size intake port then go with the one that flows better. What heads are you looking at? What cam are you installing?

Its actually one of those stock looking handles for the Hurst shifters that all the vendors sell. Its a little expensive($85.00)but worth it.

I agree. I love my Hurst shifter with the stock handle.

Type in STS baffles in youtube. There is a nice road trip video of a big-block Corvette that will give you a good idea of the sound.

The Stingray emblems do not have nuts on the back of them. The pins are just for alignment. The emblem is held on with adhesive.

They have two tabs for alignment but no nuts on them. Try to use some fishing line to get between the glue and the fender.

Here is a poor shot of mine. Its steel line from the local parts store. Its actually 2 pieces butted up together by a 4 inch piece of Fuel Injection hose. Not the prettiest but it works for now.

Those carbs won't fit your stock spread bore intake. They make adaptors to fit but you would run into hood clearance issues. Your best bet would be to buy an Edelbrock performer(not the RPM) intake to go with your new carb. Welcome to the CAC.

If you are going the wrecking yard route,try to grab some aluminum heads off a L98 C4 Corvette with the 58cc chambers. Just remember you will pay more in machine work on any used head than just buying a new set of Vortecs.

Try Barnes and Nobles out of print locator on their website. I had good luck finding Ludvigsens book there years ago. BTW i have Falconers C3 book and it is excellent.

There is one on the stamped on the frame, front of the engine, side of the transmission, and on the blue sticker on the inside of the door.

Replace all four. If one is leaking the others will follow.

I was way more upset by the youtube video of the 2 mechanics(?) that took a perfectly good 89 that was traded in for the "cash for clunkers" and deliberatly blew the motor.

If you have a fear of Ethanol, check with the Marinas in your area. Most marinas around here sell Ethanol-free fuel for boats. Just fill up with that before you store your car for the season.
