Thought I would post a couple pictures of my engine conversion in my 74. curious if others have done the same and what you think of the results.

on the stand


the end result

 

Looks at home in there! The valve covers go real nice with the color of your car too!

Was it hard to get the computer to work with it?

 

Not to bad, just a lot of time. I used a painlss brand harness, but had to shorten the wires up some. I also go the computer tuned by PCM4LESS, which made a big difference. I painted the valve covers to match myself using model paints on the emblems and in the word corvette. Thanks for the compliments!! I also have a C5, but the C3 will always be my favorite.

 

Looks great, great job! But we need some details! Hows it run? What did you need to modify to fit that in?

 

well, it runs really good! Was turning a 13.01 on a g-tech, street tires, 97 degrees, with two people with the original 3.08 rear. I also put in a 700R4, so I get over 20mpg on the highway. It is very loud, and not near as comfy as the C5, but can hold with it in the speed department I beleive. My wife can hear me from about 1/2 mile away when she is sitting in the house if I have the throttle open.

Car is not complete, as the interior really needs re-done and it needs small stuff like weatherstripping and what not. But, right now it is getting a 3.55 rear end.

Enging fit in nice and easy, was able to use normal moto mounts. Switched to electric fans, and used a seperat control that comes on early as opposed to the PCM one. It just took a long time to get the wires all hooked up. I also used the stock fule lines, cutting into one to add a pump. Pump is out of the tank, and I had to make a plate to protect it. We also mounted the computer under a fender, on a custom bracket that attached to the fender well. If anyone has any questions I will do my best to answer em!

 

Looks good!

 

Very NICE!!! What motor is that?

 

it is an lt1 out of a 1995 corvette
