Also, just purchased two new items to add there, something to the tune of a Level V RPM tranny with the G-Force gearing and a built rearend from RPM!!! I can't wait!! I have always heard great things about Rodney, this is my first time dealing with him, and he's been great!!! He seems like a real stand up guy!! Can't wait to start the transformation!!

I will keep adding pics as the install moves forward. Today was my first day actually taking the car apart, here's where I am at.
Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have completed the exhaust removal, and the bell housing, rearend and tranny. That's the game plan, we'll see!! I am now looking at it thinking I should be going forged! I have the car so ripped apart it is going to be stupid not to. Oh boy, here we go!!

Just taking my time and making sure I'm labeling everything, plus taking pics, if I come up with "spare" pices I can find there home. THis is my first big attack at a Corvette so i don't know it like the back of my hand, well, not yet!! Looking at where it sits now I'm thinking I might as well do the bottom end, know anyone who stocks a forged shortblock? It'd be pretty stupid not to do, pulling it at this point would be pretty easy, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think!!

Last night, got the headers and exhaust out
Anyone looking fo a set of Dynatech's? I will have a cam to go with them, put down 383 RWHP in May at ECS, have the Dyno Sheet. They're in great shape, no dents or dings.
Now we got some height, still has to go up a bit more for the tranny work, but we're getting there. i don't thiink this is going to be too bad on stands, we'll see
I finished up goig as far as I'm going on the motor till I decide it I'm going forged. Intake's off, fuel rails, water pump. Once I decide i will proceed
Today, off to tackle pullig the tranny, rear diff, rear suspension, torgue tube, don't know if I'll finish it all, but here goes!
