Hi, I recently bought a 1976 Chevrolet corvette stingray L48 and I don't know any thing about it but I would love to learn more about it. I am very interested in the car and wanting to restore it to as much as its originality but would like to increase it's power. if you have any suggestion I am ready for them. thank you.
