Project C4, 85 Corvette

[Steve85]

It was running great. Took it to a not yet occupied industrial park for a little more hardcore testing. I was enjoying the power I so dearly miss until...



I think excessive blow-by finally got the best of me. Valve covers had oil coming out, front crank seak had oil pissing out. I'm not sure exactly where this was coming from but was in the area of the rear intake/block seal and the oil pressure switch is there.

Short-term plans:
Front suspension rebuild. All new bushings, check and replace if necessary everything else
Replace the bushings in the rear diff "batwing". (all other bushings done)
More street friendly cam inside fresh rebuild(thanks to engine out of car a much easier job)
Make the motor pretty

I've been working to get the other motor back together and working with a very knowledgable local guy. He has some great sim software and the preliminary numbers look good. This engine will be built, run in on a dyno and installed only after all quirks have been resolved and power is where I want it.

Long-term plans:
Keep banging my head against the wall
