First VetteRod
What's up members, I just wanted to say hi and thank you to all of those before me that posted up the awesome technical information that I have used over the past couple of weeks since I purchased my first Corvette. I picked up a 1984 that has been transplanted with a 6.0. She is a bit crusty and crude but that is kind of the point with this car. She is very unsuspecting on the street and a ton of fun to drive. I am guessing she makes about 420 rwhp, has a TKO 5 speed, C5 brakes, Dana 44 and Nitto 555s all the way around. She is in the process of getting a new clutch and all the information on this site about drivetrain removal has been very helpful. Looking forward to learning more and participating a bit in the forum.
Thanks,
-Krusty84
