C-4 seats I installed a pair of 96 seats in my 72 coupe last fall and was hoping to use the power seat tracks but it ended up being too tall so I unbolted the electric tracks and bolted the 72 tracks to the 96 seats (I had to drill one hole on each seat frame to adapt them) and then they bolt...

Donald, a friend put the same engine in his 73 and he had a 400 trans with 3.08 rear gears. His engine dyno'd out to 375 horse (it was a crate motor from Sallee Motors) and he got 15 mpg on road trips with it. Last year he bought a 700 trans from bowtie overdrives, it was a kit and comes with...

stock serpentine setup Bill I think I have a few pics of my drive setup I can e mail you. I did the big block 3 years ago and if I remember right I bought the stock serpentine brackets for a 454 in a chevy pickup...I'm thinking about a 94 or so and was going to use them in the vette. I had a...

pulley setup? Bill, what kind of a pulley setup are you going to use on the big block? When I changed from a small block to the big block I used a street and performance serpentine drive on mine, decided it was easier to go that route than spending alot of time scrounging up all the stock...

Hey everybody I get to build yet another pinewood derby car and I am looking for any suggestions to give it the edge so we can actually win for once. (this is car # 5 for us.) The others did ok but its time for a first place for us this year! ;) Thanks, Mike

Hey thanks, that's what I was looking for. Mike

So the 73.1 inches is how far it measures from the outside of the right rear tire to the outside of the left rear tire? That is the measurement that I am after, also would like the front measurement from outside to outside on the front tires. Thanks, Mike

I took the small block out of my 72 and installed a 454, it fits fine but might be a little longer than the small block. The problem I ran into was finding the pulley/ accessory mounting pieces and I ended up going with a street and performance serpentine drive system. If I were doing it again I...

Hi, could anybody tell me the outside width measurements on both the front and rear tires on a ZR-1 and a grand sport? I have a 72 vette that I am doing a C-4 suspension conversion on and would like that info. I am going to run 335/35/18's on the back and 275/35/18's on the front and I dont want...

Lone 73, what engine do you have and what did the fuel injection do for your mileage? Mike in Idaho

I had a short on my 72 in the turn signals and I traced it to the grommet in the back storage compartment where the rear wiring goes out to the back lights. I found a bare spot on an orange wire but I didnt find out what it was shorting out to but I pulled it inside a few inches and just taped...

Hey Chris, now that you have the 6 speed in what kind of mileage do you get with it? What is the rpm at 75 mph? Just curious, MIke

Hye Bill, judging from your pics you have the regular block as the tall deck blocks were set up with the big round bellhousing adaptor plate to accept large clutches. Yours should have an 11 inch clutch disc whereas the truck blocks had 12 inch clutches. I have an 85 big block out of a...

I am curious how different headlight mounting locations affect the way the lights work at night. Does anybody here have the recessed lights in place of the factory popups? Do they cast shadows on the sides because of the way they are set in the fender? Gransport C3, do your lights cast a good...

Hey guys thanks for the info, I am in the process of collecting parts for a frame off rebuild including C4 front and rear suspension, 6 speed trans, vintage air, ect.... I have the column out of the 86 vette that I got the suspension out of and might use it in the car so I would have the switch...

I could take some pics but I dont know how to post them here. I could e mail them directly to you if that would be easier. Mike
