hey everyone
Hey guys, my name is josh, im 18 and atm i own a bmw 325i current model as my first car.
I am planning on eventually building my own corvette stingray to have some fun with, aiming to put about 800 horses + into it. This is my dream of a beast of a car...
My family has never owned a corvette except for my uncle who had a stingray convertible with hard top extra attachment and a 427 engine which was probably one of his favorite cars until circumstances forced a sale.
if anyone knows about how to cool a 540 block in this car, i made a post further down asking for a hand, my uncles one had issues in stop start traffic with a 427, but i want bigger haha
looking forward to seeing you guys around
josh
