I hear a 415 stroker crank alone runs $5000. Would'nt I need special LT5 specific tools to do the engine work?

I wouldn't tackle a 415 build myself. It would only make sense to have Corey do it since he's close. Just happy and greatfull to own a ZR-1 at all. Plus I don't think spending $25 to $30K on a car that already cost me $22k would go over to well with my wife. She's already pissed because I have more toys than she does. I have to keep the peace in order to get a piece if you know what I mean. I'm a slave to the peice.

Thanks, I hope to have something worth bragging about the next time. I thought I had the PCV problem licked with burning oil, but it is just better and not cured. My original PCV pipe brackets were broken so the world's most expensive hose to me was sagging and possibly causing oil to be sucked in at a great rate that it should have causing my oil burning. One of the members was so kind to give me a set of pipes and I bought the SAMCO hoses with new PCV valves. It really did help and I thought I had it cured but the caravan to the local Corvette show and shine on Memorial Day proved otherwise as there was complaints from the Vettes behind me. I'm not sure if I just did not burn out all the residue from the prior problem or not. I might end up trying to Seafoam as I have heard about and see if I can clean it out and then monitor the plugs, catch can and exhaust. I am going to do some vacuum testing before going leak down and compression testing. I can't imagine that I have oil ring problems with 53K miles, but you never know. If so then I have to do some serious thinking about a build up or get rid of it. |

my brother Dwight has a black 1994 402 built by Aaron Scott of South Georgia Corvette. It has 525 rwhp and is very clean. Will not disappoint.
