Jeremy,

Looks like you're on a roll. Some very nice hardware. Should be a stormer.

How were you able to get the C6 wheels to fit? I considered doing this on my '84, but the offsets were so different I "assumed" there would be inside rubbing. Would appreciate your comments.

Thanks much, Jeff

First I have to say that I am extremely excited to see videos of this thing on the street. I bet you are super proud! Everyone on this site has been awesome to help you out. I am brand new here and this is one of the first threads I looked at. From page 1-29 non-stop lol AWESOME

I am also very eager to get my project going. I've got an 86 vette that will hopefully be making a very similar transformation.

Do you have any regrets? Anything you would do different? Any advice? (open questions to anyone who has done 383 stroker)

Was this car ever finished?

ch@0s

good question.

Pwnage1337

Is anyone's car ever finished? Lol it runs... But it has bad manners. I really need to have it tuned, I haven't had tons of time this year.

I bought a house this year and spent the whole summer remodeling


Sorry to anyone who had been following this thread, but it's definitely not over!!!

Jeremy

NO apologies necessary, Life happens and the hobby has to be put on hold. I'm glad you are still at it.

Keep going man! Been following your build for years now haha!

Get a dyno tune!

umrpunter

awesome! That's about the age I got the vette I currently own. Keep that baby and keep her nice. you will really appreciate it down the road!

Pwnage1337

Come tax return I just may put this thing on a dyno. Any recommendations in central WI area?

skipmeister

I just read this thread from front to back!
It is a great thread and Jeremy you have done a great job on a build of this magnitude!

Don't get discouraged by the ups and downs life throws at you. I've got 2 1991 corvette projects sitting in my work shop for the last 8 years that I have not found time to finish. I'll get to them sooner or later.

Hang in there and keep us up to date on your progress!

Cheers!

So far they've all been ups...(knock on wood) bought a house, promotion at work, just a lot busier!

Thanks for all the encouragement guys, who knows maybe there will be a Pwnages Differential Rebuild thread after this 383 pounds the crap out of it. Lol!!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words right?

****** cell phone pictures.

Found coolant in the oil, one thing led to another, got carried away, pulled the engine out.

Pressure washed the engine bay and shot it with a coat of flat black so it doesn't look so ******.












Home Made trans brace lol








I'm baking headers for lunch

ch@0s

That sux .. are you going to rebuilt it again?

Pwnage1337

I'm going to try to clean it up and run it. The coolant wasn't milky like it got mixed. Hopefully it can be saved

mtwoolford

thanks for sharing the bad news as well as the good; the real issue is gonna be finding where and why the coolant was able to leak over into the oil; its most likely an intake manifold gasket ?

Pwnage1337

99% sure it was from the intake, when I took it off they were surprisingly loose. When I put it on, it was torqued to 45 ft lbs so I will have to check on them periodically.
