Almost finished! Older Post came in handi!

Just wanted to say thanks for the help with my 81 build! Older post and research on here for sure helped me out alot! Especially with the suspension. Also reading all the post about different engine builds. I have replaced pretty much everything exterior. All Front suspension, All Rear suspension, Corvette Central Complete Exhaust, Engine, Trans, aluminum Radiator. Way more parts than named! The engine I went with was a 383 stroker, Compression 10-1, cam/lift 480/490, Flat top Pistons, bored 40 over, heads 2.02's, Deck of block shaved 10,000. 425 HP. Couldn't be more happy with the power and the cam sound is incredible!!! Thanks again for this awesome forum!! I still have some small kinks to work out still but almost done

I enclosed some pics of the process. Sorry about the car pic.

Not to mention "closure". It is too infrequently we hear what happened!

Not at all. "Festering" is a valid state of affairs. I had an inbox at work like that!
