    SUSPENSION UPGRADE FOR SBC350 roller cam+ weiand144 supercharge

    You can keep an Audi on the road with your eyes closed with that kind of power. If you take an old C3 with 500hp you don't have enough hands to keep it under control. Be carefull what you wish for ;) Greetinfs Peter

    SUSPENSION UPGRADE FOR SBC350 roller cam+ weiand144 supercharge

    Thanks for the reply Gerry! I want to add if you have a alu diff 80-82 type it if even worse. Remember that the most stressful moment for the car is the moment just before the tires begin to spin. Wider and strickier tires worsen this problem! But if you're somebody who likes the numbers that...

    Question: 1981 Corvette T-Tops--Repair? Replace?? Keep Originals?

    If it were me I'd take a try on Craigslist or something. Like Bill says changes are you get very little for them. Replacing the glass, I think the glass is 80 - 90% of the total price so why even bother? If you have the space save them and throw the broken one away over five years ;) So I hope...

    Numbers matching; how far can I go

    That is why i stay as far away from any organisation or numbers judge as i can. So sorry for the mixup and the topic detour. But back on topic. Then the question is really simple. If numbers matching only adds value through the eyes of the beholder then you can keep it OEM looking on the...

    Numbers matching; how far can I go

    First find out how numbers matching your vette really is. If the NCRS is happy with your car at a base level then take out the engine put it in a corner and get orbuild yourself a new 383. Original applies only ones is my idea so the engine in the corner is of value as it is! If the NCRS thinks...

    @Kpic, thanks for the compliment! This is not the ending, I just saw I begun the body off at 10 November 2003 so see this as a temporary setback :) I start thinking that the Comp cam started eating this self as some lifters really had a horrible bottom (new comp lifters) but when I have the...

    Hello everybody, This is going to be the last post for a long time. Problem is last year the engine was producing a weird ticking noise when warmed up, it sounded like the noise was comming from cylinder 1. So we pulled the valvecover to see if the rockers has some play in them and they...

    carb issues

    You can test the mc solenoid by connecting it very briefly to a 9v battery. You can hear it activate or put a tiny screwdriver down the fuelbowl venthole on the plunger and you can see it go up and down. Then you know for sure the solenoid is working. Then i think you can short circuit the o2...

    Beware of Corvette Mods LLC in Fort Worth Texas

    Oh well it's ashame but that is about it! I have to agree with Mike, maybe you contacted them several times and nothing helped but if we don't read it we don't know. Everybody can bash a company because that is the easy thing to do but if you put down a story here with big holes in it (sorry it...
