Talking Got the old thing out again.

Well, after two years of storage....had to move it to clean out the garage. Decided to get plates and insurance...drove it to Dairy Queen...don't laugh, that is a big event for us old guys. Took it to work one day, 60 mile round trip. All that equated to running at Indy, round about way of telling the wife we may as well run the car since it's plated and insured... Didn't do to bad for performing zero maintenance to get it ready, did put some air in the tires only to take it back out after the cruise. Down a little on the power since I last ran it, thinking a new blower belt is needed...starting to crack! lol I will also do a leak down test to see how the engine is holding up, almost to 5900 miles.
Didn't win any prizes other than drive it back on the trailer, that's an end to a good day in my book! Jon

11.3 after sitting for two years, then driving back on its own power sounds like a win to me!

That's awesome Jon, glad to see the car back out. One of my regrets with my 93 was never doing a blower

Thanks, this weekend it was running 118. It use to run 122 or so. I think it needs some loving!

Back at you. This LT1 has always amazed me, I have a hard time pulling it out to play with. That's the main reason a LS3 equipped with an F1C is going in my '77 bird.

The car looks really good in that pic and runs pretty damn good to after sitting for a couple years.

Congrats.
