What's the history of the engine...fresh build, old engine revived...? Stan..

Joe.. was last week the first time you have driven the car "ever" ? ....or just since you installed the new pump. You should be able to hear the fan noise increase when the fan clutch is working...as when the temperature climbs for instance. ( without an increase in RPM...although it will...

Most likely is the fan clutch from your description....in fact almost for sure. Changing the thermostat is a good idea even though it won't fix anything. Chances are it's getting old..newer is better, less likely to fail.. Stan...

Man...it's just hard to beat the Cragars and white lettered tires on yours and Stephenwolf's cars... They were what it was all about backin the day...Don't think I will ever tire of the look.... All of these cars are beautiful of course...the Cragars just send me back in time. Every car I...

...Yep...I bet you guys were stressed out ...just not enough time sometimes. A little break might be what the doctor ordered...to make it fun again.... Hope it will be as enjoyable to drive as it looks like it will be...Enjoy.. Stan..

Herb... Just wondering if you have had the opportinity to drive your car yet ? If so what do you think of the Merers IFS.. Best regards...Stan M.

Aye...'tis sad and a 30K losss is true (probably even conservative.) I've had three years to explore every avenue...(I think)...and these basket case hot rods just can't really justify anything else. Unless money is no issue at all ...and I know there are some that can dump 70-80K and even...

"making a hotrod out of an original is easy compared to making an original from a drag car." Ain't it so...heh heh! ( little more twang I reckon') Yea...he's just getting his feet wet...I give him six months to be looking at LS drivetrains. I've already told him about Billy Dawson's...

Hey Shine...yep one and the same. I have a friend in Snyder that just picked up a C1 with a bare engine in the bay. basically a long block. Needs brackets, carb....and wants a/c. Old straight axle drag car he's going to make a driver out of. He has a good intake and Quadrajet carb and...

Thanks all...Stan

Address sent...Thanks Ray, now all I need is pics of a '63 engine brackes set up with A/C... Maybe the A/C bracketry would clear the frame etc., on a C1 too..... ...Stan

Does anyone have pics of or know where I can find some good front bracket and pulley pics of a C1 stock engine...preferably '61 and '62? Also when was the first year Corvette offered factory air conditioning...? ...and last, when did the first Quadrajet carb appear on a stock Corvette...

Your quite welcome...sorry they wern't any help. Best regards.....Stan

I have some 3782461 heads..they have H195 on one and H215 on the other. I think that is the date code but I haven't tried to look them up. If it isn't perhaps you can tell me where to find the date code. I'll dig them out again and take a closer look (if you think this might be what you...

Just curious Rowdy. What's your rear gear ratio and what RPM do you shift when nailing it? Thanks ...Stan M.

rgodwin.... Just to be real and save you lot of headaches...if you have to ask the question ...you already know the answer. These cars arn't similar to any steel bodied auto experience you've ever had. The expense is not imaginable...it will be easily 10 times anything you expect....time or...

Thanks guys...Got a call back yesterday, catalogue is on the way. Parts are 16 weeks out... Having to consider that long a wait....Guess there's not much option. Thanks again ...Stan

Thanks for the help solidaxle...most appreciated. Guess I'll have to fax them....all I get is a voice mail at mid day with a fax number. They must be really busy. ...Stan

no luck there either..? Thanks ...Stan
