Default Newb from Kansas
Hi everyone, my name is Jake and I am in Wichita KS. I'm a life-long gearhead, but finally just got my first Corvette. I have a 1987 convertible, with the Z52 suspension. It has a non aluminum head L98 from a Firebird Formula 350 swapped in, with a carb and mild cam. Red/red with a white top. I am enjoying getting to know it and look forward to gaining lots of Corvette based knowledge on here.
