Look at the Corvette Fever Magazine's Project Shark Attack. Although it used the L98 block and heads, you could stroke your block to 383 and put the Holley throttle body fuel injection unit on it...

I used round head stanless steel machine screws. If you do not like them shiny, then put a dab of flat black paint on them.

Full Size or Donut Spare

I will carry a donut just to be able to change a flat tire to be able to pull the car up onto a wrecker. Pulling a Corvette up the ramp with a flat tire catches on too many things that break on the...

383 vs Crate

Corvette Fever Magazine did a rather complete article on this subject for Project Shark Attack. Look on their web site for the articles. I think it was either the 3rd or 4th in the series of 22 or...

Vibrations

Check you frame closely, especially under each door. Once this area is weak from rust the frame will have lost rigidity and need replaced. I spent nearly $4,000 on tie rods, suspension parts, wheels,...

Compact Spare Tire

Another idea is to convert your C3 tire carrier to the smaller C4 carrier with a "donut" tire. They are only good for 50 miles or so, but fully inflated it would make it easier to roll the car up on...

Service ABS Warning Light

I recently had the BOSE stereo system in my 90 convertible overhauled and re-installed. From the time they took out the system (everything but the wiring harness) the "Service ABS" warning light...

Tail Lights

We talked to Mid America over a year ago about the problem. They were going to look into manufacturing taillights for 78-82 corvettes. I have not seen anything further about the subject. We finally...

Daily Driver

I am currently driving a 1990 Corvette Convertible, mostly stock with over 165,000+ miles, as the only car I have. (One car garage and the golf cart takes up the other 1/2) Once the 77 Pro-Touring...

Rear Gears

When Project Shark Attack was first built, a 3.70 rear gear was put into the newly rebuilt rear end, but we found that it made 1st gear too tall, just to get to 20 mph required 3000 rpm. The rear was...

Gas Tank

I thought Ric's Hot Rod Shop is near Dallas. You ought to be able to find a phone number on the internet. We had one custom built for a 79 with all the fuel injection sumps and plumbing. It was a...

Lights

I found a kit with all the replacement bulbs needed to do the entire dash and console areas. While you are in there you might as well make the time count, and clean the contacts and grounds while you...

Weatherstrip

I just used the GM Weather Strip Sealer, since the new strip did not have the metal strip at all, rivets or screw holes.

Center Caps

I used to use clear silicon in four or five places around the cap before pushing it on.

Headers

When they fit the application, I prefer Hooker Super Comps, coated.

If things are tight, then the Hooker Shortys, coated, will work better than the Ram's Horns, but will not provide the high end...

Oil Cooler

The oil cooler on the L98 C4's had an adaptor on the oil filter mount that routed hot oil to the radiator for cooling. Project Shark Attack had one installed and the engine temps never were anything...

Hyperblack Wheels

Electric Fans

Try using GM 90-96 Corvette duel fans, or C5 fans. They support lots of HP and parts are all available over the counter at your local Chevy dealer. Shoud assemblies can be had at swap meets for...

LS1 Headers

You may not be able to find any for LS1 engines in a C3.

As an alternative, you might try the Hooker Shortys. They won't have the full pop of the long tubes, but you can more easily add the cats...

Seat Switch

We prefer the 94-96 seats. I have lots of miles in them both in C3's and C4's on very long road trips from 2000 to 7000 miles. They even do a swell job protecting one's neck during rear enders!

Raised Hood

I will be using one of these raised Eckler's hoods on my project, too. We will make a full cowl induction with it to feed an LS6.
