Default Winter Project now Spring Project

I had every intention of putting my Corvette in the shop over the winter but due to all the snow we got her in Massachusetts this winter it just never happened. So 2 weeks ago the shop had an opening and took it in, for what I
had thought was going to phase one of my up grades. ( 3:42 gears and a torque
convertor ). Instead we talked it over and decided to do it all at once. So here
is what I'm doing: 1) 2:73s out 3:42s in.
2) Torque convertor.
3) LS 6 intake manifold.
4) Mildly ported 241 heads,milled .032 with BT valve sprind
kit from Jeremy Formato.
5) BT Stage One cam, 223/230,610/572 at 115+3
6) BBK shorty headers.
7) LS7 lifters,LS2 timing chain and gears,ported oil pump
and a replacement harmonic balancer and new bolt.
Can't wait for it to be finished.
