Another new guy
Hello all. I just joined and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I have a 1979 Vette that I've had for 12 years, it's been mostly stock since I bought it. After the first of the year I'll be doing a big-block swap and adding a beefed 700r4, as well as a few other mods. I've browsed this forum before and am amazed at the wealth if information here, I look forward to learning from you all, and hope at some point I can help as well.

Welcome - I too have a 79, had it since new and was about to do the LS2, etc., thing until I drove the ZO6, still have the 79 (and now a Z), but it's got to wait for retro - so don't drive the Z until you complete your retro of the 79

It's ironic you say that. Last Saturday I was returning from breakfast with my wife and a new ZO6 pulled up at the light next to us. I said "what would you think if I bought one of those?" trying to hide the drool running down my chin. She said "sure, if you sell your Corvette first". Well I just can't part with my baby after 12 years, and considering the fact it's paid for, and I already have the big-block sitting on the stand in the garage, it's best that I keep what I have. Still, if there was any way I could afford both...
