this car has been a project lol. I bought it in 2009 and after three months had a major engine failure, this poor car has been abused its life had 101k hard miles on it. So i have completely rebuilt the motor and fully ported the heads and upper/lower intakes myself. Built my own headers, exhaust, and exhaust tips. Still have my 3.90 gears on the shelf to install. Put down 419hp to the tires. just got it going a year ago and have finally got the kinks worked out. been a joy to work on and still have a lot more to do.

oh that was one of our shop vette's that we fixed up and sold already. almost always have one that we like to clean up and give a good home. :-D. it was a very nice 87 that was updated to a 92 body and wheels. we also put a new black top on it. that car was a joy to cruise around in.

Sounds like good number. I am digging the red engine. That might be the color I go with when I re-do mine. I would like to do a crinkle black intake manifold and maybe red valve covers. Who knows.

Great looking car.

Nice!

What cam timing specs did decide on, the original or the later settings with 4 degrees less overlap?

Great project, nice ride......
IMO black wheels are nice, but there is something about silver that makes the vehicle stand out. I think it accents the lines better than the black...
Again, JMO.....either way though, it will still look great.........:)
