haha.... 387 LS1 conversion on mine. I use that term 'conversion' very lightly because it's not actually in the car yet. LOL....Trending Topics

Hi guys, just checking in from Gresham. I met Chris of course (twice) and he helped me get the Z purring. My 99 Z28 is bone stock and I plan to keep it that way. I've replaced the rear axle bearings, new brakes and rotors, did the grease trick on the front pulleys (no noise now), new plugs & wires (thanks Chris), new tires, new paint (it was peeling), replaced the back seats & visors from a wrecked Z28, because the leather was cracking. New fluids and a catch can. I have some new outer tie rod ends I will be putting on soon, although it steers fine, but the boots are cracked and I doubt there is any grease in the originals. The car had 97,000 on it when I got it, but it runs perfectly. My investment in it is still way below blue book (got it way cheap), so I'm a happy camper. I'll take some good pictures and post them soon. Man I love this car!! We need a Portland area club.
