hi my name is jim moffitt and i have recently purchased a 85 vette as a project car .it is now down to the bare skeleton .this 3 hour tour turned out to be a world voyage. i own a speed shop in abilene called the war room and i intend to show the c4 boys what you can do with them old lemons if you put your mind to it. the boys laughed when i drug it in and rolled when i told them what i paid for it but they aint laughing no more. i just bench fired the the new engine and pulled a whopping 653 horses .now i dont know much about vette rear drive trains and im looking for some expertise .

Is that an engine or a piece of weaponry?

ill keep ya up to date on the build im building a 9" housing up to accept the half shafts and ill post the pics as it happens. ive allways liked the vetts but never had the time to build one . i took every last screw out of this one to famillierize myself with it and they really do have some unique engineering to them.

Welcome. You're probably going to need a new hood to clear that engine.:D

RE: new member
 

ive got a couple hoods to work with and ive drawn this thing up a hunard diff ways and still aint got the look yet. there just aint very many custom vetts out there to get any ideas from. id like to see some c4s in the insane catagory.
