Stupid Grin
Stupid Grin.
I installed my 383 about 7 or 8 months ago been tweaking in every chance I can getting it fined tuned including chasing oil leaks coolant leaks the ones you can’t see where it’s leaking but what under the car when you move out of the garage to take it for a spin you see the spot on the ground and when you look under the car you see the residue but can’t find where it coming from.
Nut and bolting things to make sure they have not gotten loose after the new motor, transmission rebuilding the suspension.
After driving the slow comfortable quite family full size SUV every time I jump into the Vett and take for a drive it puts a Stupid grin on my face every time you touch the gas and it put you in the seat every time you go into or coming out of a corner the car just fun to drive.
It’s been kind of a tough last 2 years of owning the car it was on jacks for almost over a year on and off 1st motor I put in was a bad motor, Had the transmission rebuilt 3 times and every time they made worse than before, Over heating Issues But after hitting all the brick walls it was worth all the headaches cut knuckles saying to myself what next is going to go wrong.
This for all you rebuilding your C4 don’t give up after you’re all done and your saving account is empty LOL and you work all the bugs out you be glad you did.
But don’t forget it a machine don’t let get the best of you and it a machine it will break again one of these days.

You reveal the truth about rebuilding. You're truly a lucky SOB if you can just drop in and go. The tweaking can be frustrating but if you hang with it the rewards are priceless.
