1985 L98.  Finally got around to rebuilding my 195k mile vette.  I’m the original owner that drove this car all over North America in my 34 year Air Force career.  

To sell,  or to have rebuilt?

Ooooh thass PURDY!!  Wish mine was that clean. NICE! 🙂

Stock build, or did you do any mods while it was out?

Looks really nice!  Hope it performs well for you!

Remember the tv show growing up, the six million dollar man? Build it stronger, faster… my goal was just that and smoother. I also wanted to keep it stock looking as much as possible.  
I was lucky enough to get my machinist to save my block stamp, retaining the serial numbers. I ran Mobil 1 the entire 290k miles and my machinist was surprised on how low wear there was. Nevertheless, everything was upgraded including putting in a Esky roller cam LSA 112, stainless valves, 24lb trick flow injectors and all balanced. It’s truly amazing how hard parts are hard to find these days for C4 ‘s, harder than my 65 sting Ray!

I am still a few weeks away from putting the engine back in. Hopefully easier than pulling it out.Still have to clean the compartment out and replace broken connectors.

cheers

Finally! Engine going back in.  Ever get the impression that somethings are not supposed to be taken apart?  Out of all the cars that I have done the C4 is the tightest.

Got the old girl running again!

fired right up. Only one issue, noisy smog pump.
