Comp solid lifters, Comp roller rockers, Comp Thumpr flat tappet cam, 507 lift, forget duration. Cloyes True roller timing set. ARP bolts throughout. Mallory Ready-to-Run distributor, custom-made wires, wire looms, Edlebrock chrome valve covers, Spectre top flow air cleaner, stock exhaust manifolds (headers coming) 2 1/2 inch pipes all the way back with Flowmaster 44s. 750 Holley carb.

Drivetrain: |
C6 seems ok. Installed a TCI Break-away TC @2800 stall. Third member is stock, probably 3.50 gears, will change when I save up again. Will most likely go with 3.86 or so posi. Cheap tires at the moment, Futuras 255/60R15s in the back, want bigger. |
Notes: |
Bought from Craigslist for $1450. Have close to 7K in it, the motor wasn't built by me, so a lot of that is labor costs. This will never be a show car, I was just curious how fast i could get it to go and the fact that it's a cool looking car. |
