    1972 Convertible worth buying?

    This is exactly how I feel... You and I are in the same boat...I got the car I wanted (actually more than I wanted) and now all it does is sit in the garage...I don't drive it because I'd worry about it more than enjoy it when its out on the road. Sometimes I wish I would have got a non...

    replacement cam I'm looking to get a replacement cam for my mostly stock LT-1. I would like to stay as close to spec as original, but also wouldn't mind gaining a few extra ponies... Any suggestions?

    Looking to buy an LT1 convertible

    MECUM Those are they guys who ran the auction... I also spoke to the guy who owned the car I mentioned, I think his reserve was somewhere in the mid 50's...I thought it was way overpriced as well. Good luck in your hunt. Tony

    Looking to buy an LT1 convertible

    Saw a '72 LT-1 AC 'vert at Carlisle going up for auction...bidding went up to around 45k & didn't sell. Very nice car, I forget the name of the auction co., but maybe if you got a hold of them, they could put you in touch with the owner? The color was like a silverish green...all #'s match, etc...

    Massachusetts Bill to Ban the Sale/Installation of Aftermarket Exhaust Systems...

    I would hope that the manufacturers of aftermarket exhaust systems & muffler shops also jump in on this & lobby the legislature to put a stop to this...they stand to lose a lot of $$$...especially if other states follow suit.

    How to tell if you have solid lifters?

    Assuming the block & casting numbers are correct...what is an easy way to tell if an LT-1 has solid lifters? Yes, I know all LT-1's came with solid lifters, but how do you tell by looking at the engine?

    How accurate is Desktop Dyno?

    I just got a copy of Desktop Dyno & plugged in the numbers for a stock LT-1 and found that the HP & torque numbers are pretty close to what GM advertised. Desktop Dyno gave me 265HP @ 5500 & 246 HP at 6000, a stock '72 LT-1 is 255 HP @ 5600 RPM's. So I started playing around...I found that if...

    I just purchased a 1971 LT-1 conv. Need help

    I believe the CE is a warrenty replacment block, at some time the original engine must have been replaced. Where abouts in NH are you? I can't believe I missed this one...I can usually smell an LT-1 for sale a mile away. Do you have the tank sticker and/or have you looked for it? I will be...
