Hi everyone!

I'm GALGO and have been looking in this site for a while, found some interesting information and enjoyed all the threads.

I'm the owner of a 89' Corvette 6sp., Z51 package with some mods on. Have the car since year and half and the previous owner did most of the modifications and I,ve been finishing the job.
This car was posted in this site but I found it in craigslist, even the previous owner talked here about the swap.

When I purchased the car had problems with the transmission (stuck)

I was out but now I'll take the car and finish it.

The car has:
2002 LS1 swap
T56 trans
Texas Performance ms3 cam and valve train
C5 Z06 brakes
C6 Z06 wheels (replica)
Denny's half shaft
Walbro fuel pump
Revolution gauges

What I've done for now:

Rebuilt transmission
New LSX swap engine mounts
Custom made transmission support
QA1 shock absorbers


I will try to post some pictures asap.

Nice to be part of this fórum, thank you all.

Thank you for your welcome!

The previous owner also put air ride system in the front suspensión, but I did't like this and removed it.

Now it has a new centerforce clutch, new driveshaft and the engine was moved to the right position. (it was 1in. back)

I want to remove the rollbar, restore the interior, new headers and exhaust for now. Then a good paint job.

Thank's again, hope you like it.

Thanks again!
