New here, just bought '90 ZR-1
Can't wait to get it going, needs some work, but the price was right! I'm a mechanical person, so it should be a fun project.
(EDIT: Tom Crabs found my ZR-1 on eBay a couple days before I did, before I knew about this forum. Here is a link to that thread: http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread....ight=ebay+find) . Last edited by bdw18_123; 04-23-2010 at 11:10 PM. |

Re: New here, just bought '90 ZR-1
Congratulations and Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Beast!
So you're the guy who got the eBay White '90 with the broken timing chain down in Laguna Beach. Hopefully it's just the chain and there's not head/valve/piston damage. Best of luck with that. Regardless, you're now a member of the family, so Welcome Aboard!!  A couple of guys you'll want to get to know right away: JeffVette (a.k.a. Jeff Flint) http://www.pnwzr1.com Jerrys Gaskets http://jerrysgaskets.com/store/index...=index&cPath=0 Marc Haibec http://www.zr1specialist.com/ Kurt White http://whiteracingproducts.com/ There's a handful of others, but between these guys there's most everything you might need. TomC "Crabs"

if I recall it broke one chain right? so you might have to replace one head, maybe not. Everything is speculation. but look at it this way.. assume rest of car is fine... you spent 7K on the car.. buy a motor for 6K and you are still under the value of it in good shape I think Ron ( Cuisinartvette) might still have a motor for one and he is in Cali
