Hi,
We just moved to Cali and i brought my freshly bought 87 silver anniversary and am looking forward to working on it.
First thing is to remove the AC as there are some broken hoses and i dont need AC here. Also want some more space for a cleaner look.
Only thing that bothers me at the moment is reading up on the L82 engine....but that hopefully wont be too much trouble.
Looking forward to get advice and knowledge here
Cheers
Nave
PS Admin, if i used the wrong spot to post please tell me or move to the respective area, thx

You can go edit your thread to make it read 78...
....and, you may want to keep your AC... depending on where in California you moved to. Also, be aware that you're going to have to smog that thing so make sure you have all the parts.

Hi Nave,
I'll say WELCOME too!
And…. we all do like to see pictures of folk's cars.
Is this your first Corvette?
I hope your 78 gives you lots of pleasure!

It was in the INTROS section when I moved it.
I moved it to C4 because someone thought they had an 87 Vette.

Welcome to our shark tank from a fellow '78 SAE owner.
BTW, lack of L82 badges usually means an L48, the differences between which doing your homework will reveal soon enough.

Now you confuse me a bit....isn't that post about NOT having the right car? Are you trying to tell me that mine is not an original?
