Greetings from Ohio!
New to site. Just purchased my first corvette! 72 Stingray. Found in barn. Doing a complete off-frame restoration. Looks like serveal years down the road before I get a chance to drive my vet! Will be needing a LOT of help! Have ran some numbers, don't think engine is original but numbers on transmission seems to be correct as a M-22 Muncie 4-speed. Retiring in 2 yrs, bought this as a retirement project but couldn't wait to get started....jumping the gun a little.
