Boat Anchor
 

Well I just got this boat anchor out of storage a couple weeks ago. I do have big plans for it but now that I got it out of storage I keep running into problems. My plan was to do a 5.3 turbo swap but for now I will get this car running and driving right before doing the engine swap. Right now the car need major brake work, rear u joints, wiring, and the carb needs a rebuild. I would like to get this thing on the road by august. Its a 77 Chevy corvette l48 it came with SBC 350 with 180hp. This thing is totally gutless. That's why I have named it boat anchor.

Cars with 5.3 swaps, all the cool kids are doing it.

Re: Boat Anchor
 

Nice, my wife wants that car.

Let me know when you are messing with it, I'd like to learn a little bit.

Re: Boat Anchor
 

So you finally found a car your wife likes?

Re: Boat Anchor
 

Nice!

When you said you got a vette I expected a C5, not a C3

Re: Boat Anchor
 

yeah, i want to do a lsx swap with auto and some boost.

I was going to get a c5 but I decided I wanted an escalade instead of a c5. I couldn't find a decent c5 at the auction and a escalade popped up that was an easy fix. Plus the c3 will be cheaper all the way around. My work bought a c5 and what a pain in the ass they are to straighten and to get shit to line up right. I would like to take this on the fall cruise. This winter I will try to piece together everything I need to do the 5.3 swap.

Badass, pimp ride to tow and a car to go fast in a straight line with on the cheap.

Re: Boat Anchor
 

Yeah, I've had my eye out for a fixer upper 1973 for a while, haven't found the right car yet. I learned to drive with a 1974.

Not going to lie I've seen this thread in the shout box and have been avoiding it because I actually thought it was about a boat anchor haha. Looks like it will be a fun project!
