So much for a cheap auction car. What do you think you will have in it when you are done? Obviously it will be good as if not better than new. Keep up the good work.

Hey, Just a lesson I learned when I changed the front/rear springs. The aluminum clamps that hold the springs up into the rear have little square spacers in the rear (3 of them). Well the Standard spring FE1 for my 93 was thinner than the ZO7 spring, so the spacers were to thick, and I snapped one of the clamps.
On the front, when I lowered it the spring was thicker, (ZO7 vs FE1) and my measurements were all done with the FE1 thinner spring, OH SNAP.
Just want to make sure VB&P gave you clear instructions so you dont accidently break something when reassembling things.

I don't think you needed to remove all of that just to change the fuel filter....
I'm kidding. The first post is misleading.
Nice job. Can't wait to see the finished product. You had time to put up Christmas lights?!?!?

I know that LT4 have not been abused or maybe not even redlined. It was owned by a older couple. Why do I say that?...The intake manifold was clean inside and the only clue for that would be:
No high RPMS to suck the oil in from the breather/PCV. My 95 intake is cover in oil. (maybe I'm wrong)
I'll take more detailed pictures of the rear one and will post them here. I've seen lots of pictures in the C4 forums but never seen a monospring like that.
And..I never took a picture of the black widows that used to live in the front monospring area and in the rear hub knucke.

Just read this and the other listed threads.
I am SOOO jealous!!
That is nicer than the vette I just paid $5k for, then had to ship up to me from FL ($1000).
And I actually thought that was a good deal (at the time).
Anyway, cool project!
Keep the updates coming!
