Hi all
Hello everyone,just wanted to introduce myself.And give a little history.My name is shane,and after 10 long years I finally get to join another vette forum.when I was 20 I bought a 74 l82 and loved it.but when I got some sort of black magic voodoo crap pulled on me by my first wife I had to sell it.fast forward 10 years and now I have a real wife and family.I was a carpenter but when the housing market folded I was laid off,and my wife was ran over by a forklift.Well we tried to keep things together,and did pretty good for a year. BUt in the end we went bankrupt and I lost my new tiburon(hey I see you laughing) I had enough n2o running through it to choke a mule.anyway my wife finally got a settlement from ins. (not much in alabama)And last sat. she came in and asked me to help her unload the car. I got up thinking yeah groceries but when i walked out there was a flatbed with sweet grey 84 on it,sweet paint and what I think are c5 rims.She told me that it was for all the crap we went through.She said ther was a prob. with it it had a dead cyl.(bent valave)So she handed 2500 and said fix it.So now I took off the halfazz carb conv. and went with weiand intake demon carb 64cc 2.02/1.60 heads roller rockers and 292 488lift cam its all back together waiting to be fine tuned this weekend but my god it talks to you.well I will quit rambling now.take care all.GOD I LOVE MY WIFE
