Hello. Newbie here. My name is Randy Gaines,and I'm not only new to this forum,but new to Corvettes,also...I've had my share of muscle cars,'66 GS,68 GTO,'69 Camaro,various 70's F-bodies,including a '79 TA,but this is my first sports car(and first I.R.S.).
I also currently own a clean '86 SS Monte Carlo with it's share of mods,which is soon to be DFI'd and roller 406'd.

But enough of that,on to the good stuff! I bought my 1975 Corvette from my ex-brother-in-law(I know,I know,never buy from family!),and it has had almost everything redone,except the frame(which needs it,anyone selling one,cheap? ;-) It has a 30 over '73 L82,pink rods,forged TRW slugs,stock crank,305 heads hogged for 202/160s(blehcch!)which gives me about 10.5:1 compression,Lunati Bracket Master II 292@ cam(230/480),Performer RPM intake,650 SpeedDemon VE,HEI w/Accel coil.
Exhaust is Summit headers,and custom bent 2 1/2" pipe w/Magnaflow mufflers.
Tranny is the factory TH400,rebuilt w/Trans-Go shiftkit,and a re-stalled 11" 3K stall torque converter.
The suspension is where I get lost. I know he's done some poly bushings,installed trimmed 550lb front springs,Hd rear spring ,and made some sort of solid steel bushings in the rear. :confused: The rear gear ratio is the factory 3.08:1 posi,which sucks with this cam! As a matter of fact,when I got it it was all mismatched,but I'll tell that story later! :D

I'm hoping to figure out how to post some pix of it,and eventually create a web site on my cars.

All in all,I just wanted to say Hi,and tell everyone how fortunate I am to have found this forum! I have a lot to learn,and I hope I don't bug everyone too much with all my questions!

Randy

ps. It came with some extra parts which I'll be posting for sale here soon.
