My 91 #235
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.

Re: My 91 #235
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.
 . 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.

Re: My 91 #235
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.

Re: My 91 #235
Nice!
What cam timing specs did decide on, the original or the later settings with 4 degrees less overlap? |
