- 1968 lemans blue roadster & a 1969 coupe
Hello to all the members. This seems like a very nice forum. Let me introduce my self. I've had a 6t8 roadster for more than 20 years. It's Lemans blue and only had two factory options ; the 350 hp 327 and a 4-speed. It was in very poor shape when it came to live with me [broken door hinges, cracked exhaust manifold, weather striping and carpeting deterriated, along with a shot suspension. Well as things go the vette is now fully modded, very streetable and fast enough to out do an 08 at Road America at a HPDE event. The C7s have me a little worried so the engine is out and I'm mounting a Vortec super charger on it. Guestimating approx. 625 hp when done.
Just in case it isn't very friendly for the road anymore, two summers ago I acquired a 69 coupe that was almost fully loaded with 90k on it. Well last summer it turned 110k and the anemic L48 was worn out and burning a qt every 650 miles. With the 3.08 rear gears behind the last winter install of a 200r4 it was time for a new engine. So today it fired right up for the very first time ::: a 400 block with 4" stroke crank, Dart heads, forged rotating mass, roller cam & rockers::: Last winter it received a chambered exhaust, well it didn't sound to good with the old L48, but sure woke up with a nice bark to it today. So now to finish up the little odds and ends and maybe tomorrow it will get it's first drive of the season. T
