...no one seems interested in it...

Very interested in it, just don't feel a need to post every time I view the thread, besides, you shot down my hydraulics suggestion.

[SuperBuickGuy]

so, since the Sledanette is awaiting parts, and no one seems interested in it... might as well get onto something else
like the C3

I've had a progressive worse and worse vacuum leak that just didn't make sense.... until I pulled the intake off tonight





anyway, I have an air-gap in the wings, ready to put on - so I'm swapping and using good gaskets... hope this fixes the issues

[SuperBuickGuy]

it's a low buck flip, right?

right

Heh. I knew this car wasn't "done" yet. If it's like mine, will it ever be?

[Deaf Bob]

Manifolds? Build your own headers out of painless err stainless!
Thattaways they fit!

[Russell]

Sounds like you have a good start on the BBC swap and since everything Chevy is a bolt on it will be a snap

[SuperBuickGuy]

lmao!

damn pussy had it coming

[Scott Liggett]

look judge, i was the guy on the stump... Just sittin there lickin my privates, and here comes this hoon threatening my territory ?

Do you already have a 427 or have easy cheap access to one? I don't know anything about BBC, if your going to build a motor why not go big cube?

I do think any big block and a 4 speed in a corvette is cool!

I have a block, crank and rods..... I figure aluminum heads/top end, something in the 11:1 range and an unreasonable cam.... means getting new exhaust manifolds, but can use the rest of the side pipes

vintage 494 all aluminum can-am mill might impress some folks.

[SuperBuickGuy]

either really limber or big privates.

well, ummm, no

[Beagle]

Mustang owners seem to do that a lot - why is that?

either really limber or big privates.

yeah, do the 427..

[SuperBuickGuy]

so my corvette/tractor thread is interesting and all

but what-if I put a BBC 427 in my C3?
