Default Re: Change in Plans

Just another comment.
Ed's lament about the trials and difficulties of owning an LT-5 sounds very familiar.
There was an earlier Corvette engine that many felt the very same way about.
While the bulk of the engine was pure small block, with parts available almost at the hardware store, there were about 10,000 made over many years that had a very strange rectangular box.
Very few mechanics understood or knew how to fix one, and parts were very hard to come by. Much of that is still true today.
The box of course is the mechanical fuel injection unit.
If you own a Corvette Fuelie today, you have one of the most iconic Corvettes EVER made!
While others were faster; and others much easier to work on, very few owners of a Fuelie today would even consider parting with their prize.
Some will, but many won't.
It does not matter how difficult to fix, or how scarce the parts are or may become for the ZR-1, it will not matter.
I will be happy to do what it takes to maintain MY piece of Corvette history.
After all, how many own such legendary cars!
The C-5 is all that Ed says it is.
But what it is not, is legendary.
