Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

I thought about it but for now I'm just planning on tossing the motor in. Only thing I'm planning on doing is a cam.
After scattering a motor I had 10g's into I'm a little gun shy to spend money on a bottom end for now. If I tear up a couple quick then maybe I'll upgrade but at $6-700 a pop I'll treat them like fuses for now lol.

A few years down the road after the body is done I may build a real motor and shoot four four digit power numbers but for now this will do

I was just thinking get a used set of pistons and just doing rings no rods no crank just so it will take a bit more beating but ya the stocker is good if its tuned right

I've been considering changing the rod bolts too but don't want to get any deeper but them and a cam.
I am going to have the pan off anyhow since the truck pan isn't going to work for me. They would be cheap insurance. Hmmm...

Got it off the ground on stands:


We pulled the wheels, fenders, front bumper assbly, and radiator support.




And brought the fenders upstairs to keep them safe lol. Yay lightweight race parts


And that's all for now. More to come soon

Yeah, I probably should at least do rod bolts too since I'll be right there anyhow. Cheap insurance
