It was not a project until 2 weeks ago when one of the heads cracked. The engine is a 383 stroker(450+HP) that just got done. There is less then 200 miles on the engine and have no idea why the head gave. It was a daily driver to and back from work after the engine build. I have over 4k in the engine and all the receipts for the build/parts/install.

The body is good shape with a few deep scratches on the t-tops. Dont know if the rims are stock but match the vette perfect. I did not install these but there are blue neons mounted under all 4 sides of the vette....there is a toggle switch. It does match the color!

Interior is a lil on the tuff side. I was working on the inside so many of the pieces are off but are in good shape and have them all. Seats and carpet are in and are in good shape. The clusters need new electric panels(the thin green floppy curcit board) Electric windows need to be hooked back up but do work. New high dollar battery

Ive got the turbo spoiler to fit that year
chrome side pipe covers
extra new and used engine parts
tons of AN fittings and braided hoses

I have pics but do not know how to post them here. For now just send me a e-mail and I will send them to you.....along with any questons.

Clean and clear title in my name
$3,700 obo

Kansas City is where I am at. For a pair of complete heads(X2) that can handle the engine will run $500 and that is with springs that will take a 600 lift. Have not looked into just one head but that is a nother route that can be taken.

Here are some of the specs for the engine.....minus the heads. To be honest I have not even taken the heads off but am expecting the worse. The best it could be a bad gasket. Anyway the rockers and stud girdle should be in good shape if it is the heads. The engine still turns over with no noise but will not catch.

ENGINE SPECS (that is now in the vette)(Every part was/is new)
10 series high nickel bare block, 4 bolt main, blue printed, notched... 292h comp cam 501/501... comp cam roller lifters... comp cam double chain timing set... 550 isky springs/locks/retainers... 3 angle performance valve job... 1.6 roller rockers... 383 nodular crank... ARP push rods... Edelbrock Pushrod Guide Plates... Clevite Rod & Main Bearings... Hyper Pistons .060 .100 Dome... Molly Piston Rings... 5.7 light 383 cleared rods(cleared)... ARP bolt kit... Fel Pro gasket set... Melling high vol oil pump w/pickup... Holley red electric fuel pump... Regulator that sit between each inlet on the carb)... High volume water pump... 4 core radiator... HOLLEY Carburetor 750 double pump... Weiand Team G Air Gap Intake, polished... Edelbrock tall valve covers... Torgue coverter... fly wheel... Mallory dist and coil... chrome headers

EXTRA ENGINE PARTS
I have a set of new ARP pushrods (stock length)
Melling high volume oil pump with pickup for 7 qrt oil pan (new)
Electric high volume water pump (anodize red) new
4 core radiator (used but good)
2 AN water neck fittings for large braided hoses (new)
Several large braided hoses with ends (new)
2 hard fuel lines for the 4150 DP carb
Rev kit (new)
AN fitting from -4 to -20

Thanks for looking and keep the questions coming

I have a friend looking for a Vette and I will pass this along to him. But one quick question. I notice the first pictures a clean body and then in the last ones they show a wing on the back. Is this wing attached and can it be removed without leaving holes in the body?

I just sat in on there to show what the turbo spoiler for that year would look like. It is not drilled into or anything like that.

Thanks

i just had the engine done and put in. The last thing I did was have the carb tuned up the day befre it cracked a head. I spent so much time and money on this vette and finaly got a chanceto enjoy it and it turns into one hell of a bad day. Needless to say my bubble is broken on this project.
Im not making payments on it so there is no hurry to fix it but does no good just to leave it sit either. Money is tight and heads are $500 for a pair that is ment for that engine. I dont have a place to work on her either at this moment.



Anyone who has e-mailed me.....I am open to offers.......just shoot me a e-mail. I have been trying to answer all questions as best as I can.

Thanks

I'm also interested.

If the others don't buy it, I'd like to send a friend to check it out for me as I'm in Bermuda right now.
