1989 ZR-1 Parts Wanted

[Corvettes White]

Looking for parts from any of the crushed 1989 ZR-1s that were built. (There were 84 or so plus 5 standard body LT-5 Powered cars.)

Besides Morrison’s stash sold to Kurt, or the junk yard in England can anyone please give me leads on what might be here in the US or Canada?

I am getting close to finding all the parts that I need to swap an 89 LT-5 engine into our 1989 convertible.

Especially I am looking for a MemCal Chip and some wiring.

Thanks in advance

George

Bob:

I spoke with Chuck and visited his shop back about 4-5 months ago looking for parts. Except for an engine, the rest is gone. Boy do they do great work! That guy has some deep inside connections with GM.

If I understood your post, you have a thermostat housing. If you are willing to sell it or anything else you may have, can you please let me know? I would also like to find an ‘89 ECM and the forward lamp wiring harness.

I picked up a set of wheels of 11 inch ’89 wheels sometime ago. Very cool wheels.

You can use a 90 chip and carrier all you need is to burn a 89 calibration into it. Do you have the ECM? I have an 88/89 calibration that I think is ok and can send it to you if you have someone that can burn it to the prom. What wireing do you need? I might know of a source for the engine harness but it will not be cheap. Email me off list.

Tyler:
You sent me the BIN file from you proto some months back. Thank you. I am just keeping my eyes open for other files. I understand that there are several versions out there. So, shall we say I am hedging my bets.

I have an ‘89 engine harness, but would like to see, a long shot, if I can get a front harness. It is not the same as used on an L-98.

In addition, I am fishing to find if there is any thing else out there that I can use for my conversion. I am looking for a white overflow reservoir, the center dash for the power key, and things like that.

Are you comming to BG in May? Geoff will be there and hopefully we can get some more information on whats left in the Graveyard and what the differences were 87-88-89.

Dan Giesler had two prototype engines for sale that Mike P bought. The 89 motor from the Pearl Diamond White car Joe Roebuck put together is still for sale last I knew. It was rumored that Dan had a bunch of things from the junkyard. Don't know nor am I sure the email will work.

Thanks Ted for the lead. I will follow it. I had spoken with Mike P a few times and even considered buying the motor he had (has?) for sale but could not see spending the cash for a second '89 motor. I think my wife would have killed me.

Tyler, BG is a bit far for me, although we are going to England this March. When there I will try to look up some folks.

According to Geoff Dan bought a lot of what was left over from the Simmons buy to include 3-5 ? motors. Not sure just what pieces he got. As an aside Geoff feels that the Graveyard guy has another stash somewhere else. Every time he goes there he finds something else that was not there before. Another source in England is Tom Falconner, but the real source is Geoff. If its out there he probably knows where it is.
