Coming up nice in black.. although the maroon color was nice aswell...

As for that pipe.. I think it's some valve to help the motor warm up? when it's cold it restricts the exhaust fumes causing the motor to warm up quicker.. **i think**..


P.S. wanna "loan" me the BB motor from the stingray :p

[BillyB]

Ooohh that stingray looks mighty fine!!!
And true the trans-am looks damn nice in the maron as well!! But who am i kidding, i suppose black is the ultimate colour choice!!

[epitaph]

;) it was VERY rough in maroon, the pics hide it well lol

Steve: we got another big block in the shed, a fair bit like that one in the corvette there cept it's got twin 425 impco's on it.. should make for a tuff daily in a C10 pickup :p

The corvette is coming off the road soon for alloy heads, forgies, big rods, a 400hp fogger kit etc. atm its made 281rwkw with twin 2.5 inch exhaust, which is far too small. with well over 500ftlb of torque. makes for a fairly fun cruiser, with 3.00 gears and only a 3k converter!
