Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just bought an 1984 Racecar to run with ProAutoSport in Arizona. The car is completly stripped and has a full cage. The car came from the factory as an automatic, but now has a Muncie M20 4 speed in it. The motor is a mostly stock 350 with a holley 750 DP, Cam, Headers, ect. I am going to run the car for a couple months before doing a C5 brake conversion and changing to 18 inch slicks. (the forum has been a big help for me, by letting me know the parts I need for the brakes) I have posted some photos of my new car at http://forums.corvetteforum.com/phot...y.php/cat/1079 or I guess you could just click on my corvette photos at the left of this post

The C4 guys on this forum seem great and I look forward to learning from you.

The motor I can handle, it is the brake upgrade and suspension tuning that I am going to need help on. At least it has coilovers already. It also has a Mychon 3 Data system. I may need to find a forum to learn to use that

Wasn't that the optional interior on the early C4's??

I don't really see any difference between that and stock...

yes, interior delete was an option, Maybe I should sell it at Barrett Jackson " 1 of 1" interior delete, Replacement motor and trans, On second thought maybe I should list it on ebay
