The things some people do for the sake of vanity…

I've just hit the interchange in life:

No money, Tons of time -> All of the money, none of the time.

Yes. My M.O is to make this engine look like it was pulled from a ZO6, 100% stock looking.

Recently picked up a 1988 GMC C1500 with a 5.7 and 5 speed, for $1,050.

Plan is to make it perform and drive like a 01-04 Corvette Z06!

I've managed to get super lucky and score a 55,000 mile 02 Z06 shortblock and intake manifold for $200! Still seeking another T-56, hopefully another Tremec Magnum, as I really liked how the one in the 90 shifted.

Was doing some searching today, as I want this engine to look exactly like it was plucked from a Z06 and dropped into a pickup truck. GM still sells the coil covers, new! Score!

This is where my head still was.

Vette Villains is a Corvette only junkyard.

You know what, I have a C5 underhood insulator thingy if you want it. Has the vette logo on it. I think that's the last of my C5 parts left.

Welp... did a thing, today.

4-speed C3 with side pipes...you have redeemed yourself.

Did I lose track of pickups? I thought you still had the Chevy.

Which Chevy is the question?
