Motion Replacement Engines

[vettebuilder]

To be honest, I have not looked at the box of Motion parts for many years. I remember the Lemans cap to be shiny, not dull. There was an old fan made of green and white fiberglass I bought way back when from Motion. I bought a traction bar too, but never put it on because it was white and I never got around to painting it a different color. All of these items came from Motion over a period of a few years, more or less as funds became available. I figured if I bought the pieces one at a time then the crunch of the cost would not hurt so much! I really do not remember all of the items I bought, it was too many years ago. One of the biggest expenses back then were the chrome hooker header side pipes. They are still wrapped in the original boxes packed away in my attic. I saved a long time for those. And the very last item I remember purchasing was the set of Ansen aluminum slotted wheels. I bought 2 15 x 8.5 and 2 15 x 10. Again, packed away for future use, who knows when now. I sold the 74 corvette in 1980 without adding any of the Motion items. I bought an L-88 short block from the local GM dealer for about $1000. I took the car to a Pittsburgh based Corvette shop and they put the L-88 in and added aluminum heads and some strange Offy 2x4 intake system that required a high rise hood. I never got the Motion car, but always wished I had.
