Interesting conversation with new employee
So I have a new job and was meeting with one of the managers reporting to me.....he asked if I had a corvette with the Mercury Marine motor in it...I said "yes, the LT-5".....he informs me that his dad was an engineer and actually worked on LT-5 testing. Not engine testing, be on testing molds for the block and heads, etc. Said his dad had an LT5 engine at his business back in the late 80s. cool stuff...going to see if he has any drawings, etc

Re: Interesting conversation with new employee
How much are they worth? Perhaps the Registry could buy them? If need be through contributions from members.
Or, as we are a not for profit, could he donate them and take a tax deduction? Last edited by Andy; 11-24-2016 at 02:15 AM. |
