I have to agree. If you buy a jeep and you move in with the in-laws, better just go find a bridge to jump off of. If you keep the Vette, better find a higher bridge to jump off. Looks to me, like you have everything working against your favor. My advice...do whatever feels right in your gut...

Funny, I nearly moved to Lakeside, not too far from Azle. My daughter used to live outside of Azle off Rt. 99. Nice country there. Oh BTW, I know I couldn't wait a year before I start her up. That is too much to ask... At least for me.:)

Just got my Trick Flows and I can't hardly stand the wait. My block is still at the machine shop. What the hell are those guys doing down there? I got my engine bay all cleaned up and painted fresh waiting for that new motor. Cleaned up my wire harnesses and replaced a lot of the old...

My 95 shows to use a synthetic and I use Royal Purple in that one as well as my 86. I'm happy with it.

For me, part of the build up is the pride and satisfaction that you had a part in it. Any dork can buy a fast car off the "lot". Putting some thought as well as blood, sweat, tears and a lot of cussing has it's due reward. Don't get me wrong, I plan to own a C-5, or maybe a C-6 in the near...

Like-wise:beer

That is correct. Me being inexperienced at the time with this issue just assumed my mechanic knew what he was talking about and I replaced the wheel hubs. My control arm bushings were so worn that the wheel rocked in all directions. I chose to go with the AC/Delco pieces just because this is...

Don't always assume the wheel movement is a result of worn wheel bearings. While having other work done on my car, I had a mechanic tell me my wheel bearings were shot. I checked the wheels for movement and sure enough they did rock back and forth. I changed out the wheel bearings myself to...

That would mean I would have to sell a Corvette!:cry

Oh well, win some, lose some right? I figure this motor will get me by for awhile untill I'm ready for a Z06. Which I would love to have now, but my garage is full and my wallet is empty.

Edmond, that motor will be nasty! I'm too impatient to save money for stuff. I ordered my parts yesterday from Summit and should be getting them this week. I'm getting a complete Crane Cams assembly. As recommended by Crane Cams Tech Dept. for my set-up - Cam #114132: 210/216 @ .050 w/...

Yeah, I think we're on the same page Sothpaw. The cost for the 383 option was just getting too far out of hand. Also, we use this car for HPDE's and Auto-X and we were accustomed to the old power it had that I began to think that the power from a 383 may take alot to get used to. Since we...

Thanks sothpaw I thought of the very same thing. That's why I only brought them the short block and I mic'ed the cylinders first before I took it to them and it still has the stock bore dimensions. I am also providing my own cam for them to install. I hate having to do things this way, but...

I thought I had a line on a set of used LPE heads, but the cost of the heads, test and prep puts them very close to a new set. So my question is: Are the stock D-port heads that much better than my stock '86 alum. pcs? Can I get by with doing a good port job on my heads, or should I look for...

Paint the calipers red. I did mine and it really sets the car off well. If only I knew how to post pictures.:confused

What he said. Same proceedure I used and worked great.

I installed their poly bushings and ordered new Bilsteins from them. Very helpfull people. No problems with their products.
