Hello all

We will be monitoring the site to assist anyone we can with any problems we have answers to. Driveline related or other areas where we can. There are many very knowledgeable Corvette enthusiasts on this site and we hope we can add to the knowledge base and make a great site even better.
Later.

Good to see a great company such as Classic combine with a great forum. The Corvette Forum that is



Officer: Boy are you drinking while driving? Driver: No sir officer I would never drink and drive. Officer: Well son what is that in your hand? Driver: Well Sir this is the finest Moon Shine made in the Florida swamp on ice. Officer: Boy you told me you do not drink and drive? Driver : Yes sir I did say I never ever drink and drive. I only drink at stop lights lol. A day without Moonshine is like a day without Sun Shine. Gator McKlusky

Welcome to the Forum! I've been to your website several times as I try to figure out how to install a LS1/T56 in my 72 Vette.

Do you sell any of the kit components individually? I'm using a 73 frame, LS1-to-smallblock engine mount adapters that should place the motor right about where the 350 sits. It looks to me like your transmission mount brackets and driveshaft might work for my installation. There are a number of others on the forum working on this same type of installation so any info you could provide would be very helpful to us. Thanks.

What transmissions will you be promoting? Are your installations directly targeted to C3's, particularly early C3's with the stock manual transmission welded in crossmembers?
