Well... the big block is sold and will be shipped out soon. I'm sure it comes as a surprise to some of you even though I've been talking about it. The hardest thing was just finding a buyer.

I'm actually doing a trade for a small block that will replace it. Probably makes around 430 to 450 Hp. Matched with the Tremec with a 3.27 first gear, the 3.73 rear gears, drag radials, and suspension... the small block car ought to be a nasty street killer anyhow. AND I won't need a big hole cut in the hood. Can you say, sleeper???

 

HE LIVES!

I'm not suprised you sold it. The car was getting too close to being complete so I knew you were going to change something and you did advertise it. I am, however, suprised that your keeping the car. Last I heard you wanted to sell it too.

 

Am I that predictable???

 

For right now I'm going to keep the car. A "stock" Vette isn't all that much fun after all. I may sell the Vette this summer when the value goes up.

 

Good call Jon on both accounts!

A Vette vert will sell quickly during the summer, having said that, I think you should bring that bad boy out here to the Oregon Coast for one last cruise during our Gathering, then Ill take the pics to help you sell it.

U got that right Jon!

I put my vett up in the last part of April...it sold the first week in May! Summer brings out all of the Vett buyers!

Good luck!

 

Well hey now Jon once you get that over here, now I will have some competition!!

On the other hand, sorry to see that beast gone.

 

I think the small block I'm getting will run pretty hard. I'm considering giving it a little bit of the funny gas just to make sure too.

As for right now I'd run my Vette against your Camaro... until you get a gear swap Then I think I'll just have to decline!

 

Well I'm glad you just didnt put a stock motor back into it! Now to decide on a hood, huh?

 

Stock hood. I'll drop the crossmember an inch to make room.

 

Nice, good old sleeper look. How much do you plan on spraying. I'm going with a 150 shot.

 

I'll drive it for a while and feel how it runs. Then I'll decide how much nitrous, if any.

 

when is the beast coming here???

 

Probably next spring.

 

That long huh? Oh well, out of sight, out of mind...

 

It's more like out of budget out of mind.
