Thanks Fellas,
So I sold a bunch of stuff at the Big Portland Swap Meet at PIR (Portland International Raceway).
At the meet I met up with this guy who lives and breaths LS/Turbo installs.
Last year he was at the meet. He had a 76 or 78, doesn't matter cause it was a kick @$$ sleeper truck. Has done 25+ setups under his belt.
Long story short I thought about that motor all year. No money/shop packed. No worky on Steiner, Moving all dads Crappy, Life kinda sucky...
Here's a pic what the LS guy brought this year.
So Im going to tell whats has been bothering me about the Steiner build.
1. Frame/ air ride
2. Throw tons of money at a 327 out of a Corvette and modest power gain.
~ Funny thing~ You know these 327's are ALWAYS out of a Corvette. Never an Impala, Caprice, school bus, mail truck, grandma's grocery getter or a pinto (yeah, I know Pinto,, F0rd). Surprised since there are soooooooo many 327's Ford didn't put one in their Pinto. ALWAYS out of a Vette. I think they made 680,000 Corvette 327's to each Vette produced.
I dug out a Turbo 400 to get it rebuilt, Cleaned it up some, going to clean it up more.
Got a '91 frame to jam a LS in. Or at least thats the plan.
I tucked away the cash from the meet, sold the South Bend lathe today, put that cash away safe too. Things are getting going again.
Thanks for looking in Fellas
