Chuck, I just finished reading all the posts on this thread. I like the way you controlled your anger over this mess. The letter you sent was BANG ON. You explained your postion and what your expectations were. Good on ya. I hope that ZL-1 engine is undamaged. Hope everything works out...

VNV if your out there I could use some advice. A while age you had a friend make up some "502" emblems for yourself. Myself and another forum member are both looking for someone that can make us a set of ZL-1 emblems that will fit in the same place as the "427" emblems on the 67 BB hood. Was...

I know how you feel. I'm just having my new engine built by a couple of guys I really trust. Those 1st few anxious minutes of break-in hoping nothing goes wrong. Then all that talk on the forums about camshaft break-in and failures have got me kinda worried. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Magicv8, I live in Edmonton and have travelled somewhat thru N. America but where you've been with that car is remarkable. The beauty of driving your vette thru those mountains is second to none. If you make it to Edmonton and you and your gal need a place to stay for a night before you head out...

SB to BB Accel. lever change Hey VNV I changed my SB accel. lever out of my '65 two years ago. I had the small block lever on my BB car for years and had many of the same problems with length and throw which led to adjustment problems. I then ordered the big block lever for the '65. Just ran...

Hey VNV, what kind of headers are you running on that fine machine. I'm not sure if you have sidepipes on your car or not. The reason I ask is at some time in the near future I'm going to put on a pair of aluminum heads on my BB '65. I have the factory sidepipes which I want to retain. I found a...

It just goes to show you how things have changed for the worse. Back in the 60's GM had car guys running their design and engineering departments. Today we have guys in suits with degrees (beancounters I think you'd call them) running around with their heads stuck up their a**. The real style...

#1 yes.#2 definitely yes. #3 compared to my first corvette, 1964 small block, the small block ran at 180 and the big block runs at 190 degrees,nothing you couldn't handle. no.#4 probably to more than likely. and #5 well a little but you won't mind, trust me. Buy it you'll like it. if not sell it...

I did the same thing about 2 months ago. Only I sent my wife and son on a holiday to Orlando. Gave her a list and sent her to titusville. About an hour away. Got my parts about $700.00 worth. Wayne

Just checked my mail. The first was a letter from the federal gov. letting me know I owe them nothing after paying tons of taxes, but their watching me, as their notice of assessment let me know. The 2nd was a life-insurance statement on my son telling us that although we have paid into this...

I own a 65 vette with a big block (23years now). I have tried a number of different brand name spark plugs thru out the years. From autolite,champion,split fire,ngk,ac delco and some brands I can't even remember. Tried different heat ranges of the same brand. For the last 3 years it's been the...

Great to here that, Dave. I have 3.36 in the back so I figured that would equal to about a 4.10 rear gear. That should be plenty with lots of big shifts in between.

Thanks for all the info guys. A 5-spd muncie on the way. All of a sudden... choices. Hey bossvette thanks for those numbers. Those rpm drops on shifts sound like lots of throttle and lots of go between gears. Gotta luv it. I'll also check out that Fortes Parts outfit. Gotta go I smell supper...

Thanks guys. I appreciate your comments. It just brings me that much closer to getting that tranny. I can already imagine shifting gears. My wife was trying to talk to me but she said it was like I was just looking thru her not at her...dreaming of that tranny. I phoned Keisler Auto a couple of...

I was wondering if anyone out there who has a 5-spd in their car could answer this...when you shift from 1st to 2nd during a big shift, how far does the tach drop? 1500,2000, 2300? more? Does 2nd gear have a big pull through the torque range? I know it's not like a close ratio trans that's why...

65 rocker panels I have a set of brand new 65 rocker panels I've had for quite a few years. They are still in the original packaging. Never opened. I have them in my basement tucked away in a corner. My 65 vette has the original sidepipes and I thought one day I would switch over. But years...
