Default 78 LS1 single turbo T-56

1978 C3 Corvette stingray. There is a ton of custom work into this corvette and is nearly complete. Full frame off sand blasted and por 15. Califonia car with absolutely zero rust. Dyno tuned at 525hp to the rear wheels. This is being sold as a project as it still needs work to be finished and show quality, but runs and drives great.

-2001 LS1 engine T-56 6 speed trans.
-Factory ECU tuned standalone and speed density with custom standalone wiring harness(interior wiring still needs to be loomed).
-Edelbrock proflo high ram intake manifold
-High flow fuel rails, with Bosch 60lb injectors
-Sealed factory throttle body for boost
-Holset HX55 single turbo with open exhaust dumped out the fender
-front mount air to air intercooler
-Mid America 3 row radiator with dual electric fans
-60mm wastegate
-50mm blow off valve
-manual boost regulator all run with hard lines
-ACT sprung 6 puck clutch and chromoly 10lb flywheel good to 900 ft lbs
-160amp alternator
-Aeromotive A750 inline/submersible pump with Mallory boost reference regulator -8 feed and -6 return
-Factory fuel tank with fabricated sump to eliminate fuel starvation.
-VBP 4 way fully adjustable racing suspension, tubular control arms, offset trailing arms, bilstein shocks, and anti sway bars
-Hydraboost brake booster system
-Boss 338 wheels 18x9.5 front and rear with an extra set of 18x8 for front
-Borgeson quick ratio power steering system
-Central column mounted tachometer with oil temp, oil pressure, and engine temp inside tach. Fuel gauge, air to fuel gauge, boost gauge, and digital volt gauge.
-power cutoff switch behind driver seat for redtop battery in battery box
-One off fabricated aluminum interior with functional center console for storage, still needing minor work to finish. Still has factory door panels.
-Racing buckets with 4 point cam-lock harnesses and custom polished stainless rear x-brace harness bar setup


Still needs some work, interior is not fully finished, Headlights are not installed( factory headlights will no longer work because of the intercooler. Body work and paint is needed if wanting it to be a finished show and shine kind of car, there are some minor cracks and scratches in the fiberglass, and paint is pretty rough. Power windows need to be rebuilt but work, passenger window is really finicky. This car has been built in the direction of a race car and is being sold as such as is, but is street legal.

I may be forgetting some details, but send me a message with your email and I can answer any questions and send more photos.
