new guy
im 21, and i got my first vette in the summer of 2010. im from parksville BC vancouver island
its a 1980 l48 that was restored to almost bone stock by the previous owner. only the wheels and paint were changed, the rest was rebuilt using stock parts. i bought the car intending to leave it stock and just drive it. im doing a full restoration on a 1980 z28, so i picked the cleanest car i could find.
well, i couldn't leave it alone. the second day of owning it i tore the motor apart to give it some more power.
pic is about a week after owning it, looks terrible. stock bottom end, dart pro 1 heads, solid lifter comp cam, eddy rpm intake, and a 650 holley.
the aluminum head 350 was fun for awile, but plans changed. the 350 from the vette will be a temporary motor for the z28, the vette is getting more power.
the block just before i sent it to the machine shop..... thats no small block
hoping to have it in by summer time. need to save for some aluminum heads
these valve covers came with the 454, they should be cool in the vette.
inside the car.
plans are black sidepipes and diffrent wheels soon. i hate the wheels that are on it
