You popped up out of nowhere. Nice to see you are still dropping in from time to time.

How are the twin boat motors comming???
Hear anything about your turbo car??

Monty

Hi guys,

Thanks, I'm doing well. I haven't been checking the Corvetteforum like I used to, but I try to stop by and lurk every once in awhile. Any turbo threads always catch my eye.

Since selling the Vette, I bought a 35' Cigarette Racing Team boat and spent the past winter building a pair of 700hp/670tq 540ci big blocks based off of Dart Big M blocks and AFR 315 cc CNC heads. Here's a pic of my new twins... I still have to install the exhaust systems, fit the accesory belts, and tidy up some engine harness wiring, but it's almost done.

I'm looking for a new turbo Vette project, so I might be back on the forum soon as a regular again. I'm happy to see the old gang is still around...

Are you trying to break through the earth's atmosphere with that thing, or what?

Monster seems such a small word suddenly..... :thumbs:

Nice to here from you. I was wondering if your 82 was ever tubbed and drag raced. If so what did it run?
:cheers:

Monty

Joe,

I only used it as a street cruiser so I only had street tires on it. I did take it to the track a couple of times but they would only let me run it once or twice due to the lack of a roll cage and parachute. My best was 9.8 @163 on 255R15 street radials. They want a parachute on anything that runs over 160mph even during test/tune days so I never got a chance to run it again.

The new owner, who lives in Hawaii, sent it to a chassis shop here in the Chicago area to have a roll cage installed and to get it backhalved. He's also swapping out the 4L80E for a 400 w/ transbrake. I haven't spoken to him in a couple of months, but as of March he still hasn't gottne the car from the chassis shop yet.

Summerfun, sorry if I hi-jacked your thread :)

No problem Monty!! :thumbs:

I enjoy reading all the chats anyway! :cheers:

I'm playing with the idea of turbo-ing that 540 at some point in the future.

Got to do a lot of homework first!
