Taking ya'll back old school..... http://www.jeffstar.org/images/Z28/Sledge%20Hammer%201/ http://www.jeffstar.org/images/Z28/S...ages/jeff7.jpg http://www.jeffstar.org/images/Z28/S...pistonrods.jpg Man....some of those pictures bring a tear to my eye. My old LT1 just would not stop kicking. At 80k miles that car got a set of home ported heads and a 306 cam and Six Speed swap. Then at 110k miles I put a 175 shot on it. Then, I sold the spray and put on an old S-trim at 130k miles. The short block finally said get bent Jeff and took a crap. Then I built a 383 stroker. Unfortunately after 3 years of building that car I sold it like a jack ass. I still miss her :) I also miss being at Texas and living the College life style. My god if I could only do that forever! |
Thats not old school.. 95_ws6.. THATS old school! |
I remember that car putting down near 400rwhp with home ported heads and a 306 cam at MTI with like 90K miles on it back in what, 01? Good running car, I saw it for sale on Corvette forum couple years ago. The white TA and Vette were clean too. But the Z28 you have now is much cleaner than the 95 ever was, 95 was a budget brawler to the T |

Other wise it sucks, only a couple know what their doing, rest just make the rest of us LT1 guys look bad. |
Old school for sure. It looks like you were bolting on your intake right after you got back from Mardi Gras :D. Speaking of old school, that Strim you bought from Jason had some shipping mileage on it. Jason Short bought it from Bobby Simpson, and I remember when Bobby had it on his "Mean Green" car way back in time. I think Neilish and I missed the "college lifestyle" going to UofH :). Ryan |
Hehe. Old School from 1993? Heck, my first project car was a 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 and then I graduated to a 1966 Dodge Dart GT (318ci). Then 1976 Bobcat, a '77 Pinto, a '78 Mustang II (V6), a '76 Dodge Monaco (V8 400ci 2bbl), a 1980-something Honda Civic, and then finally to a new 1987 Toyota pickup. I got most of my mechanics skills keeping those older cars alive (and killing a couple permanantly, like when I glued one of the cylinder heads on the Fairlane with high-temp sealent because it had a bolt broken in the block :jest:). I think the most I paid for a car back in my teenage years was $700 (for the Celica). The others were all less than $200 to purchase and ~$100 to get running again (or not in the case of the Fairlane which ran for about 20 miles before blowing the head gasket/red Permatex and didn't have enough power to move worth a crap). Old school isn't even fuel injected in my world for the most part. :) |

Ryan (on the S-trim) No kidding. Somebody, somewhere is using it right now. So that makes 4 cars? maybe more :) |

Welding up your own 4" exhaust (yeah it took 3 tries) cutting your springs (god forbid NO!). More of that is blue collar then old school but sometimes they are one in the same my friend....kinda like using glue instead of head bolts :hail: that is just awesome. I've got one for ya though... In High School we had a dry kit system we created just for rent cars. Yes, it had a lighter plug in for power, all the wiring went through the hood cowl and the Nitrous was run dry into the PCV orifice. Yes sir! Instant Ghetto power! |

Prehistoric for vehicles would be the steam powered cars of the early 20th Century. Weren't you concieved in the back of one of those? :jest: j/k, of course. :) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._steam_car.JPG |
Lash the valves? Set the distributor? Timing light? Huh?! Ryan |
