Sbc 350(3970010 block) with a Th350 transmission. 

OK lets get the cons out the way first. The car has rust at rear window and at rear floor pan. I patch up the rear floor pan with sheet metal and tap screw just for a temp. fix ( see picture). The engine and transmission both runs fine and good but transmission is leaking from the gasket. I have a new transmission gasket and filter kit to go with the car. Transmission shift fine though all 3 gears. Engine is a runner. I don't know if its a 2 or 4 bolt main. If you check the block casting number its a 50/50 chance its a 4 bolt. I believe it has a valve seal leak because when car warms up....when stepping on gas pedal blue smoke come out not a constant flow only when you quick step the gas pedal. I don't think its a head gasket because car still run strong and fast. I don't know how many miles are on the engine and tranny. body miles just reached 100,xxx mark. 

So beside the cons lets talk about the body. Body has been worked on and painted but I got what I paid for..which was $1900. Need more clear coats, wet sanding and polish to have a decent paint look. It has a dent on the passenger fender and a Good scratch on the passenger side (see picture) from when I side swipe my garage.Still kicking myself. I just recently replace all shocks and springs, upper control arms bushing and all around break shoes (4 wheel drums). As for the motor, I replace water pump, alternator, and the belt in 2012. I say the car is due for a basic tune like spark plugs and spark plugs wires, distributor cap and rotor. I recently changed the oil this month (July 2013). It has fresh 15 inch chrome rallies with a lot of treads left. Its a ten bolt differential non posi. Car is pretty much complete drive it as is and work on it slowly and just put in some money to have a perfect car.  I'm sure I might have left something out but I am a honest person and tried to tell you all the cons on the car. So if you buy it and see something I didn't mention please don't be upset.  And I'm sure its a small thing because if it was major I would remember something big and list it on this ad. Buyer I would get the transmission leak fixed and give it a tune up. 

I have the pink slip to the car under my name and has clean title. Tags are up to date and expire in 2014 of June

***Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping of the car as well as shipping charges. I will help with shipping.And by helping I mean I will do what I can on my part so shipping can be fast and easy.***

Did the Chevy Corvette Z06 break 7 minutes at the Ring? Not likely

Wed, Jan 28 2015

"Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true." That's rule number one, two and arguably, three, of surfing the world wide web. In today's example of this rule, we have the following. The website HorsepowerKings is claiming that a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, with the eight-speed automatic and Z07 package, managed to lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes. To put that in perspective, that super-quick time would put the 650-horsepower, $97,000 (the price of a 2LZ with the Z07/8AT combo) Z06 a mere two seconds slower around the world's most challenging race track than the $929,000, 887-horsepower Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach. It's about eight seconds quicker than Nissan's own test of the GT-R Nismo Track Pack and 13 seconds faster than a Dodge Viper ACR. Unfortunately, Chevy says there isn't anything to it. We reached out to the Bowtie's Monte Doran, who confirmed that HK's claims are "not accurate." "Any one – a manufacturer, a journalist, a guy standing on the fence of the Ring – can claim a lap time. As such, we think the in-car video is essential to proving a time is real and credible, and Chevrolet will not release a lap until we have a video to substantiate the claim," Doran told Autoblog. "Chevrolet accumulated nearly 1,000 miles of testing on the Nurburgring with the Z06. During that time, we only had two opportunities to run a lap on video – and both were rained out. If we get a lap on video, we will post an official time." Doran finished by referencing the "only official lap time" for the Z06 – a 2:41 around the Virginia International Raceway. Frankly, we aren't terribly surprised by Chevy's position. One would imagine if the Z06 were matching million-dollar hypercars around the 'Ring, the company would literally be screaming about it from Renaissance Center's rooftop. As this is quite the opposite of that, though, we're betting that the real Z06 lap time - while still likely very, very fast – won't be quite quick enough to frighten the brightest and best of today's hypercars.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
