Wao Kapla, nice Vette, even the radio looks original. It must be a great head turner.

yeah I know..LOL
not to much to film from the inside I think.. one hand on the wheel, the other grabbing the camera and also shifting... but at least you can hear the engine growling... |

Kap, I got my 85 running, sweeeet, its a conglomeration of parts I had laying around ARF .205 intake heads, full roller, I kept the flats in there because of fuel economy, kept the injection and chipped it with a matching cam....2800 stall,
it was Chevy month, comfortable feeling |

Sad update on the boat in the third video. Yesterday it was put in the water for the maiden trip....after almost 1.5 years uf building the boat. Last week they finished putting the carpet and electrics, vynils etc...so out the went..turn on the engine in the marina, left it running doing the tune up..almost 40 minutes, so after they got it tuned they went for a test drive....idled out of the marine and when they took off ....zap awfull sound came from the engine!!!!
Engine was volvo 290 (chevy) from early 80 freshen up, had sleeves done, new rings, heads come from local ebay reman, and were tested, no leaks, good looking condition.... So today they open the engine..a valve broke and fall into the cylinder causing damage to the piston and the cylinder sleeve..and water filled the engine. Now I´m in search for them for a good set of heads, as doing the valve job and resuface of the ones they have will cost almost as much as a pair of reman taken from the US.. any recomendations on a good set? |
