Final point of the evening. I have come to the conclusion there is absolutely nothing wrong with our car other than the fact it simply doesnt make enough horsepower to compete with other cars in it's class. Motor is coming out and we will see what can be done to rectify the situation...maybe some new paint at the same time. I'll post any progress.

Amazing the damage done there.


I did not want to come on here and post sooner as to why your car was somewhat slow untill you realized yourself the engine is not making the HP it needs to.

MPH is always a good indicator and your numbers are weak...

I would expect it needs to run at least 115-116 to be decent.

Agreed Rich - We have exhausted all other possibilities and feel the rest of the combination is spot on...all we need now is a motor to complete it.

On our journey from Lexington to Nashville a couple of weeks ago from and to a basketball tourney, we stopped by the Corvette Museum. What a spectacle! I agree, I don't think a car crusher could do any worse damage to the 4 totaled Vettes. Otherwise, a great tour stop. My first time there.

Thanks for posting the pics.

Hated to do it at this point in the year, but something has to be done to find some hp. I'm going to try to reuse the stock block if possible this go round...efforts will be centered mainly on internal drag and windage, then on to the heads, intake and cam.

Ambitious as usual I stripped the decals off the body (along with some of the paint) in preparation for some new paint.

Rich, I sure hope you put the white back on it. '70 Corvette Classic White has to be the best race car white, ever. -Al

I agree Alan, but my partner wants something with some color to it. I'm leaning toward Sierra Fawn...only 2% of these cars were sold with that color and I have yet to see one on the track. http://www.69pace.com/paint1967sierrafawn.htm

I vote Fawn - different is better. IMO
