Oh, this thing is so far from original

I'm restomodding it for sure

Nice

So what’s the setup on the new 350 and what generation block is it

It's a 1970 010 cast iron block. The heads are high compression double hump 461 castings

Long tubes, solid lifter cam, 650 cfm holley on a single plane aluminum intake

Nice

So first gen lt1

This thing was cobbled together from random parts

Hah

The block was out of a passenger car. Was originally a 250 horsepower low compression 350 with a 2-barrel

Oof

So did you build the motor or have a shop do it

Someone who had the car before me had the engine built, or built it

The engine was in the car when I bought it

So that’s it from the picture up there

Where’d you go

Had to afk real quick

Yes, that's my engine in the picture. Somebody put some money in those heads. It's got screw in rocker studs and guide plates in there, also has 202 stampings on the heads so I suspect it's been machined for bigger valves

Nice

Has an old Hays breakerless ignition system in it that's been discontinued since 98

Wow

Runs on 91, has some cam lope to her

Never even heard of that

How long you had it for?

Bought it November of last year

What all have you done to it or changed so far?

I'm in the process of going through the drivetrain and suspension still

It's an expensive project so I can only buy parts for it every so often

Yeah I bet

Are you a big corvette person

I'm a sucker for the pre-smog era vettes

So, I guess the answer is kind of

What do you think of the c8 lol

The C8 doesnt excite me tbh

I prefer my cars to be as mechanical and simple as possible, so naturally anything new turns me off

Yes

Electronics, to me, just add another annoying layer of troubleshooting

My car is a 2013 but it still uses an ls motor

Which is simple enough for me to do shit on it
