Helping Hands Garage 82 Corvette
My wife and I are home sick with Colds and that's my excuse to even watch an episode of them butchering a C3. Nice Wiring Job ! Do you think the 82 with no ECM caused them a bit of a debacle starting it ? Nice combination 2:73 rear gears with the 700r4 with what a low compression Iron head SBC and they put a Tunnel Ram with twin Carbs on it ! But am I the only one that heard a Rod Knock and or something Metal to Metal making contact when they lit it off? I think the Producer was saying Cut Cut that's a Wrap. They sure didn't show them driving that one now did they. I'm not so sure that car was any better of when the show ended as when it started.

From: Arizona - If you don’t know CFI, STOP proliferating the myths around it...
Yeah, it was making some noise, but it could have been just about anything really, so many untrained hands in the pot there, lots of room for errors. My concern was hopefully that is NOT a stock CFI 350 motor...with tunnel ram. That is way over kill on the gas end of things. I would think that the motor is modded to some degree?
