The shift knob is the hardest to remove, but it is reletively easy once you've removed that. Remove the shift pattern face plate, the knob is keyed to secure it. Remove the key using a small pair of vise grips. You may need to pry the key upward to get enough out to grab with the vise grips...

Again, just to let you know, Jesel makes a set of shaft mounted rockers for the LS7 head. I don't have a price, but I get this awful feeling that they are not cheap. It may be worth it to ease any fears during high rpm research which could be tomorrow and the next day, and the next day, and the...

Yes, if anyone is curious where they are that's I guess where they'd be. Mine wasn't in totally good condition, but I now have it.

Guess where I found it? I found it behind the front bumper inside the steel reinforcement that the air filter housing attaches to. I took the nose off for a new Tiger Shark bumper and there it was. The car is a 99' Coupe, so if the same guy was on duty that day, that is where you will find yours.

I would try the left side turn signal relay on the right side. If it blinks normal, buy a new relay. I hope the C5 still uses the relays, but not sure. ;shrug

There are 3 things I'd recommend if you have to go deeper into this to save you time if anything happens again. A double row timing chain, 2-piece timing cover and ARP head fasteners, if you don't have any of these already. It's a live and learn type of thing to minimize any pain later on. Hope...

Just to add to what Hib said, the majority F-body guys generally do know alot more about the technical aspects of their cars and how to fix them more than the majority of Vette owners. We already had this discussion on LS1tech.com a long time ago. It came down to the younger guys really can't...

I'm a big fan of dyno tuning, but if I were in your situation, I would go with Diablosport and take advantage of their internet tune download capabilities. It costs around $100.00 in addition to the cost of the Diablosport programmer. The way it works is you download Diablosport's tuning data...

I'm hoping my current project makes it into the mag. when I'm done. ;) I did have one bad experience with Road and Track magazine. I sent an email in regarding comments made in an article regarding Corvettes. They printed my response in the mag. but edited what I said, and changed the meaning...

BTW, Congrats. on making it into Vette magazine fixvet. Nothing beats an actual dyno tune when it comes to getting all the hp you can out of your engine. These LS motors tend to leave the factory with a fairly rich A/F ratio @ 12.5:1. Once these engines are on the dyno and leaned out, there...

The C5 Hardtop is a smart, excellent choice. You can remain in a late model Corvette with a huge performance potential after the house is done. The best of both worlds here in my opinion. I can imagine the fun of planning that new garage and the enjoyment of modding that FRC in it's new home. ;)

I don't know what the exact limit of the LS7 is N/A, but from what I've seen 700hp seems really hard to achieve. I've seen forged, head/cam, header LS7's mostly in the 620hp range. Nothing to sneeze at. Add a F1 procharger to this setup and 800rwhp is doable.

If you go to the usercp you can talk

Heya Len

Hey Len, Busy at work?? Saw you online. Hehe. ;)

Yes Johnny, you nailed it on the first call and c4c5 told him how to fix it. I of all people only emailed c4c5 to have a look at the thread. ;squint: Great teamwork guys!! Vette brothers......... ATTACK!! Hehe, nice job all!! :cool

c4c5 is the man for sure.

I'll vote for ya Len. Should we call you President Murray? ;) Well I'll vote for that new motor anyway plus the PC. :w

It definitely has the C3 look in it. Hopefully it looks better in person. 750hp is fairly stout though. It is starting to grow on me ;)

I think you did extremely well at $65K, but I imagine you paid over sticker initially. Hopefully you came close or broke even.
