All New: (unless stated otherwise)
Similar setups to this make in the low 500’s for horsepower and this will have lots of torque do to the custom cam design. If you stick it you should be able to get into the 10’s on 91+ octane and still get 20+ highway mpgs. The battery is centered (left to right) in the trunk because it was meant to be a street car, first. There is an external shutoff that should be good for Real Street drags as long as you have a piece of tape pointing to it because it is somewhat hidden. There is no rust in the typical body areas. I believe the rear quarters and one of the fenders have been replaced. The seals are fairly new and the glass is all good. I found a few pin holes in the trunk but stopped them with CorrosionX for now. The could easily be fixed with epoxy and repainted. The underbody is quite clean. Both bumpers are fairly new. All fluids are synthetic: oil, trans, diff, brakes, steering. I put Zero Rust (similar to POR 15) and a butyl sound deadener on the firewall before installing the AC assembly. I will include the 1 3/4 rolls that is left. I planned to do the whole interior. The transmission has a constant pressure setup so no TV cable is needed. It will shift into OD around 35-ish (if I remember correctly) which is better for MPGs. If you don’t want it in OD that early then just use the ratchet shifter. With the lock-up converter, do not shift into OD (4th) with more than 1/2 throttle. If you want to “get on it” I would keep it out of overdrive for maximum transmission life. It really needs to be repainted. A previous owner did a poor job. It looks OK from about 10 feet away. The lead lines show along the roof line do to a lack of primer or something and there is some rough body work along the rockers.. There is a ding in the drivers door about the size of a quarter and at least one good run in the clear but that is low enough that most people don’t see it. The carpet is faded and needs to be replaced. The seats and headliner are in good shape. It has an oil leak (drip) on the back side of the motor. Using a PCV rather than just a breather may fix or reduce that problem. The engine compartment wiring has been hidden (for the most part). The wiper motor was deleted so if you are in an inspection area that could be a problem. RainX once every spring will do more than the wipers ever did. I finally got this running last fall. The FAST system is still learning and so am I. The motor has never been over 5000 and the shift points should be around 6000-ish. Do to the overlap on the cam and how sensitive the IAC is I have the FAST idle set at 750 and opened the throttle blades to 750-800 (on the tach). This was the best way to get a smooth idle otherwise it would tend to hunt (surge) because the IAC is sensitive. The LS intake manifold is kind of cold blooded since it does not have any hot engine oil splashing on it. When it is cool out I have had the idle stay high because the inlet air temp sensor gets cold soaked. The idle and cruise are set at 14.4 air/fuel which is the cleanest setting for E10 which is only 6% ethanol (usually) according to reports from a person that does fuel testing at gas stations. I have new header gaskets and longer bolts because I think there may still be a leak which could cause some incorrect readings on the O2 sensor. The flanges on the collector have dead soft aluminum gaskets so I think those are good. I have receipts for most of the important items. If you do not have a laptop I can include mine, for programming the MSD. It is a clone and my intent was to remove the badges when it got repainted. When you make 500+ horsepower you don’t have to pretend that it is something that it's not. ;-) I am selling this because I was off work for nearly 6 months and my finances took a significant hit. The title is clear with no lien. |

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
