1961 corvette stocker info
Does anybody have any info on building a 61 corvette stocker ?
Like possibly the better choice of engine combos for it ? With the 283 2x4 set up or any experience in the 283 fuelie set up ? Thanks in advance |

www.ClassRacerInfo.com It will show you all the specs and do the classification calculations for you so you know what classes and the race weight in each class. Plus, you will see the engine specs, replacement heads and their port volumes, all the accepted parts - pistons, rods, oil pans, blocks, cranks, etc. - listed on one page. You won't have to chase all over the internet to find what you need. There is even a link to flow figures for some of the heads.

Re: 1961 corvette stocker info
The only problem I see with the fuelie combo, beside the cost, you will need the get an approved piston. We built one a few years ago with a copy of what we believed to be the correct piston to see if we could reach our goal of 370 hp. We fell short by 30 and gave up on it.

Re: 1961 corvette stocker info
The fuel injection is going to take a ton of work. There is (it is sidelined right now) a very fast 62 in C/S with a fuel injected 327. So the unit is capable of making the HP to go fast. The guide shows the heads and cams to be similar, or the same, depending upon which HP rating you choose. I would imagine you'd have to really spin the 283 to use the heads, cam, and intake as well as the 327 in the 62 does.
I deal with those cars a lot for restoration purposes. Either induction system could cost $10K to start, just to find all the pieces in good shape, before you pay anyone to make it raceworthy. Of course, if you're into that sort of thing, the "cool factor" would be priceless. I think the little gold 62 C/S is one of the coolest stockers around.

Re: 1961 corvette stocker info
Thanks for the info Alan
Is there any pictures of the 62 c/stocker around ? Ya that is why I wanted to do one was the cool factor I think the same love those bodies and as a stocker thought it would be so neat to run one, it almost wouldn't matter how fast I was running it would just look cool |

It would be very cool. Btw, the 1961 F.I. set up does not look the same as the 1962. The 1962 unit was a one year deal.
