Notes:

Similar setups to this make in the low 500’s for horsepower and this will have lots of torque do to the custom cam design.  If you stick it you should be able to get into the 10’s on 91+ octane and still get 20+ highway mpgs.

The battery is centered (left to right) in the trunk because it was meant to be a street car, first.  There is an external shutoff that should be good for Real Street drags as long as you have a piece of tape pointing to it because it is somewhat hidden.

There is no rust in the typical body areas.  I believe the rear quarters and one of the fenders have been replaced.  The seals are fairly new and the glass is all good.  I found a few pin holes in the trunk but stopped them with CorrosionX for now.  The could easily be fixed with epoxy and repainted.  The underbody is quite clean.  Both bumpers are fairly new.  All fluids are synthetic:  oil, trans, diff, brakes, steering.

I put Zero Rust (similar to POR 15) and a butyl sound deadener on the firewall before installing the AC assembly.  I will include the 1 3/4 rolls that is left.  I planned to do the whole interior.

The transmission has a constant pressure setup so no TV cable is needed.  It will shift into OD around 35-ish (if I remember correctly) which is better for MPGs.  If you don’t want it in OD that early then just use the ratchet shifter.  With the lock-up converter, do not shift into OD (4th) with more than 1/2 throttle.  If you want to “get on it” I would keep it out of overdrive for maximum transmission life.

It really needs to be repainted.  A previous owner did a poor job.  It looks OK from about 10 feet away.  The lead lines show along the roof line do to a lack of primer or something and there is some rough body work along the rockers..  There is a ding in the drivers door about the size of a quarter and at least one good run in the clear but that is low enough that most people don’t see it.

The carpet is faded and needs to be replaced.  The seats and headliner are in good shape. 

It has an oil leak (drip) on the back side of the motor.  Using a PCV rather than just a breather may fix or reduce that problem.

The engine compartment wiring has been hidden (for the most part).  The wiper motor was deleted so if you are in an inspection area that could be a problem.  RainX once every spring will do more than the wipers ever did.

I finally got this running last fall.  The FAST system is still learning and so am I.  The motor has never been over 5000 and the shift points should be around 6000-ish.  Do to the overlap on the cam and how sensitive the IAC is I have the FAST idle set at 750 and opened the throttle blades to 750-800 (on the tach).  This was the best way to get a smooth idle otherwise it would tend to hunt (surge) because the IAC is sensitive.  The LS intake manifold is kind of cold blooded since it does not have any hot engine oil splashing on it.  When it is cool out I have had the idle stay high because the inlet air temp sensor gets cold soaked.  The idle and cruise are set at 14.4 air/fuel which is the cleanest setting for E10 which is only 6% ethanol (usually) according to reports from a person that does fuel testing at gas stations.

I have new header gaskets and longer bolts because I think there may still be a leak which could cause some incorrect readings on the O2 sensor.  The flanges on the collector have dead soft aluminum gaskets so I think those are good.

I have receipts for most of the important items.  If you do not have a laptop I can include mine, for programming the MSD.  It is a clone and my intent was to remove the badges when it got repainted.  When you make 500+ horsepower you don’t have to pretend that it is something that it's not. ;-)  I am selling this because I was off work for nearly 6 months and my finances took a significant hit.  The title is clear with no lien.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
