Nice !
sure seems like alot of car and motor for the money.
I would hate to have to sell something like that.

It really is, but i know that you never get out what you put into a car like this. So i'm setting a reasonable price that hopefully someone just can't ignore

Thanks I priced it to be fair and reasonable. This will be a great deal/car for whoever picks it up. And I hope a fellow corvette guy picks it up so I know it will be taken care of and so I can watch its progress!

WOW, best of luck with everything. You put so much time in that car.
Best to have loved and lost, then never loved at all. You might consider just prepping it for long term storage and letting it sit for a couple years. If you store it right, it will be ok.

In terms of cost I couldn't tell you. The seal is very in expensive but pulling the tranny will take the most time/cost. I can pull the tranny myself in less than 2 hours, it's really not hard. But you would have no problem driving it home as is. If your seriously interested give me a call and we can discuss options. Never had the car on a dyno or weighed

What kind a numbers at the track are you getting with this? I really am concered with the final MPH. That indicates or tells me about what kind a horsepower the car is making
Also are you aware if the motor was punched out with deck plates and the main caps in place and possibly warned up before removing any material or being overbored?
Do you know what grit the cyl bores were on in its final hone?
What kinda rings?
What was the final piston to wall clearance?
Sorry to bombard ya with techinal questions but Im looking for a track car for road racing and want to get something that close and that will accept boost and with yours its pretty close besides to high compression ratio and ride height
