Damn, that sucks about the old parts.

Re: Project Corvette
 

Ugh, that's horrible.
Sorry dude, time to drink our sorrows away?

Re: Project Corvette
 

Currently drinking the sorrow away, we should drink together soon brotato haha.

Getting excited to get it back on the road though, couple months and it will be already a year sitting in the garage, weird.

Re: Project Corvette
 

^Same for me with the BMW, a few more months = 2 years for the DSM.

Re: Project Corvette
 

That sucks, but I'm guessing you bought it with a worst case scenario in mind price-wise. Should be a lot of fun when it's done though.

Re: Project Corvette
 

Spending the coin! Should be awesome when its back together.

Re: Project Corvette
 

Yea it was bought knowing the engine could be 80-90% toast, was just hoping to get lucky haha. Didnt think it would need a new clutch being only 13k miles old. I talked to Monster and they said their C7 twin disk they pulled off a high HP car with 40k miles and still looked great. So that is promising.

Re: Project Corvette
 

Picture update. Shortblock is being assembled after they finally received all the parts, rotating assembly was balanced and the old crank was polished.

Twin Disk C7 clutch arrives tomorrow.

Nice.

Re: Project Corvette
 

Glad to see progress is being made! I'm sure you'll love the C7 twin-disc. Did you go with the OEM flywheel, or the lightweight aftermarket?

Re: Project Corvette
 

Looking good!

Re: Project Corvette
 

Went with the Standard Flywheel on not the the lightweight. Figured driving around town and what ill do with it, it made more sense.

Re: Project Corvette
 

Woot!!
One of my favorite cars of all time!
There will be wind in da grey bush in no time!

Re: Project Corvette
 

More progress! Motor is in and bolted up. I plan to work on it when I can this week, getting things slowly buttoned up. Lots of little things to do still.

The new motor is a 427ci?

Re: Project Corvette
 

Yea, the old motor was 7 Liters too, basically the same motor as before since its using the old stroker crank.

Re: Project Corvette
