Let’s just move the conversation here
This was when I first brought it home
Peak under the valve cover
Not roller rockers disappointed lol
I suspect that the engine was built back in the 80s
So are you making it all original or restomodding it or what
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
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
