That is just freakin awesome! I love the sleeper look. It looks bone stock.

Thanks!

Simply amazing. The knowledge and persistance you have really shines. I have watched your other cars and have been amazed at the power you can produce. This car seems to take it to the next step. Keep it coming. You are an insperation to many here. Thanks for posting this up.

Gordon, I take this as quite a compliment coming from you. I don't get on the forums as much as I would like but I have been following your LS3 adventure. Compared to what you are doing, my stuff is quite simple. For you to do what you are doing and then take the time to post pics and updates - well that is simply amazing! Thanks and keep up your phenomenal work!

Love it, very well executed Steve

Beautiful work, outstanding results!

I *love* "sleeper" stock-looking engines - but you've taken that concept to a whole new level!

Did you need spacers to get the valvetrain under the stock (or stock-looking) covers?

632C2

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the kind words! My spacers are two gaskets on each side that have been glued together.

The other thing I did to these valve covers is to TIG weld the valve cover retainers to the valve cover itself. I did it from the underside so as to not be visible.

Geez, how boring. Another stock '67...wait...errrr....HOLLLLLY CRAPPPPP!!!!!

Truly awesome, Steve! Your posts are never boring. So is that the stock ignition setup? Points? Stock wires? And did you make any runs with and w/out the air cleaner setup on and tell us what kind of restrictions that thing causes?

fazang

me too, but can you explain how the air flows ?

i see 4 muffs and 2 tail pipes...

BTW AWESOME 1/4 mile numbers

I am shocked and surprised it makes that kinda horsepower without headers and that induction, nice job

oh the blue vette is killer also

Why the white letters on the blue car..... nice cars but that kills me...

Thanks, Travis! Kind of stock ignition. I am running a cast iron Corvette magnetic distributor. I have a Crane HI-6R attached to it. The plug wires are a set of Pertronix 7mm "Stock Look" with no markings on them. I removed the braided shielding off of set of old original wires and put them over these Pertronix. In this day of 25-50 ohm per foot resistance wires these Pertronix make me laugh when they talk about only having "500 ohm per foot resistance". They don't seem to be hurting this deal although I haven't tried anything else. Hey, maybe I will do that next time.

I made a bunch of runs with and without the air cleaner. I tested a special K&N 2-1/2" tall air filter and the stock foam air filter. The K&N was only 1.56 rwhp and .32 rwtq better than the stock filter. The K&N lost about 2.5 rwhp versus having no air cleaner on it at all. The real shocker was when I made a run with just the air cleaner base installed. It picked up around 10 rwhp versus no air cleaner! Now that is quite a difference.

I am not sure if I understand this question. Are you talking about after the 'X' pipe? If so, I am just using the bullet mufflers as resonators. Also, I am not sure which 1/4 mile numbers you are referring to.

Thanks! What shocks and surprises me is when I tell some people about it and they shrug it off as if it is no big deal. Wow, some people are really hard to impress.

Thanks - but let me try to revive you. White letters are what I grew up with. Since those pics were taken I have turned the white letters in so now there are no white letters showing. Now what "kills me" are huge wheels with rubber bands for tires. But that's another debate...

Beautiful and awesome results!

You can ignore me.... had a brain fart.
Had to look at the pic maybe 3 min before i could see what you did there.....
4 muffs 2 with chrome tips and 2 with black turn downs.

i could not see the black turn-downs and thought there was NO outlet on the inner 2 muffs.
Which as you can imagine made my brain hurt..... 8-/

Appreciate it!

No problem

Steve my dyno testing also showed that the carb wanted to have the air cleaner base on.....it was around 10hp on mine as well.... Not to mention a MUCH better air fuel curve with the base on. At the track, I run the base only and it gets the highest MPH.

Steve, GREAT numbers and GREAT job. Your work is so impressive, that you should have your own TV show. Boyd Codgington has passed on, and Chip Foose doesn't have any live shows anymore. So, it would be fun to see your stuff in HD every week.

If we were reviving, you would have a little big block in it.. .

I need new pics for proof..


My dad is the same way... I like big wheels to an extint.... anyways, bump for more pics!!!!!!
