Default 1996 C4 LT4 Build
Quick story on the car. My first corvette I ever bought back in 96". Sold the car for an 02" ZO6. Six years later I bought the car back. The current mods I am doing to the car: rebuilt motor, new connecting rods and pistons, new cam, the heads cleaned up, american racing long tubes headers, DRM coilover, all new bushing front and back, new sway bars, front C5 brake kit, new fly wheel and clutch, and jet performance tunning softwear.

Too late for the removal, but when you install the engine it is FAR easier to do it with the engine assembled/fully dressed...

That's a really nice set up you have there. Did you make that? Do you road race the C4? Any handling products you recomend. Sorry for the double post.

I've been following your build on another forum. Looking forward to the updates. Glad you are back on track. The car sounds sick. Love it!
