L48 said:I am curious if you have made any progress with the car since you last post.
For my part, the 3970010 2-bolt main block and 882 heads with the 1.94 intake are capable of making plenty of power. some head porting, a 3-angle grind and a good cam and you will make good power.
I have the same block/head combination in my 2nd gen F-body and it runs 12.60's in the 1/4 mile on 87 octane.
To discerning Corvette enthusiasts this car is an L48 with L82 badges. To the less informed it is an L82.
Hey,
yup . made a lot of progress actually. Finally if you looked at my other posts I made recently you would've noticed that I got into a little accident where a guy had hit my car with his bicycle. So I got the car fixed and he paied for the damage. So when the body shop repaired the front of the car. I've made them remove the L-82 emblems on the hood. So now my car will no longer pass for an L-82. I've added alot of chrome parts under my hood. check the other posts I got pictures in there if you are interested. Besides that. The car runs really good. Handles alot better since I went for 225x70x15 in the front. I kept it with 255x60x15 in the back. Brand new tires all around the car.
