What we have here is the almost completion of an awesome autocross contender or an awesome pro touring car if that is what you prefer. It has the best of everything and will make someone a show type car that will run with the best of them. I have over $56,500 in parts alone so far in this car and I have the receipts to prove it. That does not include the labor we have invested in it which is probably another $20,000 to $30,000 to say the least. Here is a description of what parts we have purchased, mocked up or installed on the car. On the front, it has a Detroit Speed front clip with the LS engine motor mount options and has been powder coated black. We installed a set of Baer 6 piston Pro plus brake kit with all new proportioning valve, lines and master cylinder. On the rear, it has a Heidts independent rear suspension with a Ford 9" pumpkin and 390 gears. I bought it with the chrome brakes, parking brake kit and it is also powder coated. The engine has a high performance LS6 out of an SS 2001 Camaro with new 3.905" bore Mahle forged pistons, new rods and new crank that was internally balanced. It is built to 10.21 to 1 compression ratio. The block was line bored, line honed and square decked. It has ARP head studs, Clevite main and rod bearings, durabond cam bearings, Comp Cams push rods, custom Comp Cams camshaft degreed per specs, new knock sensors and wiring harness, GM Performance head gaskets, double roller timing chain set, B&M flexplate, Fel Pro gaskets throughout, Proform high torque starter, F.A.S.T. precision flow injectors, GM Performance oil pump, NGK spark plugs, ATI SFI Harmonic Balancer, set of custom LS coil brackets, MSD coils, new bypass tubing and seals, new MAF sensor, ARP flex plates bolts, ARP stainless header studs and ARP balancer bolt. We have all the blueprint clearances available for whomever purchases the car. I had custom Forgeline Wheels made for the offsets we needed on the car. The fronts are 9" wide and the rears are 12" wide. The front tires are BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW 255/35R 18 and the rears are 335/30 18's. I have new carpet, vintage air ac/heat system which has been mock fit, Corbeau racing seats and sliding brackets that are already installed, new Be Cool Aluminum Radiator, new aluminum fuel cell with an Autometer in the tank A-1000 Stealth fuel pump, new autometer fuel filters, new Lemon headers that still need to be ceramic coated, a custom drive shaft, custom transmission support, painless 18 circuit wiring harness, painless engine fuel injection wiring harness, Lokar billet gas pedal and matching brake pedal, Flaming River tilt steering column, new bumper brackets that have been powder coated, dynamat sound deadener, SCE copper header gaskets, Locar billet door handles, electric window kits installed on door windows, new electric window switch kit, new Optima battery, new powder coated radiator core support, custom steel factory hood with SS chevelle hood scoops and new chrome inserts, a Phoenix Transmissions 4L80E and the engine has a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine system in polished aluminum. The body has been put on a rotisserie and blasted. All the bad metal has been replaced including both full quarters, both rocker panels, both pillar posts, and the floors had been replaced before I got this project. The deck lid will need to be replaced because someone warped it and it had a lot of bondo. The front windshield has been flush mounted to get rid of the wind noise and drag associated with older car designs. The firewall has already been painted GM pearl white which is one of the colors we had anticipated on using when we finish painted the car. Almost everything on the car is new including the custom guages in the dash. I am sure I left some stuff out, but if you know anything about building cars you can see that we didn't cut corners! |

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
