Line locks are fun.
An old co-worker gave me a summit brand linelock kit so I installed it yesterday. Had to make up some brake line but it wasnt too hard. I wired it on a led toggle switch. probably the easiest and most fun mod Ive done.
1st test: 1st and 2nd gear
when I shift to 2nd the sidepipes blow smoke away.

2nd test: it was a little bigger burnout because I rode out 2nd gear off linelock for about 100ft and got a little sideways and i had to get off gas because I was running out of road. I have chunks of rubber over the back of vette, even on the decklid where gas cap is!
I wish i had video of that one.
Did these tests with my 275/60/15 but have a set of older 225/70/15 bfg on stock wheels for fooling around.

That was awesome. The motor in that car is probably worth more then my whole corvette and daily driver s10 together.

I came of age in the days of the muscle car. I love smokin' tires. You've probably seen this, Corvette Burnout Gone Bad. Not sure what the guy smoked but it wasn't the tires--clutch maybe.

He said "goodbye $600" Probably more like $4000 to put a clutch in that car. Shame someone that stupid has that nice of car.

I've been in & out of town a fair amount in recent weeks & not on the forum too much so I have to ask- is that the new motor you've been planning? It seems like you'd be about on schedule for it to be done. If so, what cam did you end up using?
