Corvette Motor Poll
Corvette Motor Poll I have been running into a few so called "Hot Rodders" that have no clue about horsepower, The quote I got from one guy, had a bone stock 95 Z28 that was, in his words "Scary Fast" Why? Because it has the "Corvette Motor", How many times have you heard this..I just think its kinda funny..
"Start down low with a 350 cube, three and a quarter horsepower, 4-speed, 4:10 gears, ten coats of competition orange, hand-rubbed lacquer with a huplane manifold. Full ******' race cams. Whoo!" - Todd Parker
when I hear people say there car has a corvette motor I literally say what makes it a Corvette motor and not a Camaro motor? Them turn and walk away.
Soon as.some one says they have a corvette motor I assume they know nothing about cars.

And it's got a 4-bolt main!
Yea, I get that a lot, Even when I went to purchase my 95Z, the salesman said that exact quote, "Its got a 350 4 bolt corvette motor" Not knowing it was a 2 bolt.

I find that unless somebody has or had direct knowledge of the LT1 in the 4th gens that they have no idea what a LT1 is or what it is capable of but everybody can relate to a "Corvette Motor". So YES I use the Corvette Motor description when I'm not talking to the faithful. I can remember when a 3/4 cam was a accepted description of a performance camshaft, or maybe it just seems that way 'cause I was in high school. This was in the '70s.

None of that is as bad as the idiots that try selling used "LT1"s around here.
Most of those engines are junkyard gen 1 350s.
EDIT
There was one guy at a parts store a while back that was bragging how his 3rd gen firebird had a ls1 with the hood open showing a factory TPI engine.
