This is it when it's "needing a refresh"




WOW! Serious BLING.....

Man thanks for that pic, I've been looking at driver side fender area stuff to mount my dry sump tank, looks like there's a ton more room than the passenger side.

I don't visit C5Gen much anymore but I was sharing pics with a friend and came across these. Loved this car. 427 NA engine 580/545 with a very small cam. Drove great and pulled like a tractor.




Long timers here may remember The Gentleman's Cruiser.




Totaled and went C7 with an Eforce blower now.

I think dressed up engine bays are great. I have ordered the dress up kit from RPI and should have it at the end of the month...I can hardly wait. Mine is just clean now.

Mine is not fancy . I was interested in power before beauty. I
have won Best Engine at a Corvette Show. I guess that was a
fluke.
