Here is my old car in an ad I found online being sold again.

So, let me get this right?

1970 Corvette LT1 350/370Hp car. STOCK but for headers, with 4 gear and 4.10's on a BFG Radial TA, you were going 12.30's? That to me is pretty impressive to me.

Often wondered about doing a mild stoked to 383 LT1 with some head work, intake and cam. Put it in a '66 Nova L79 clone. thing would be a fun little car for sure.

BUT not a SB guy, BUT emm?????

Stock heads were worked and milled (a lot) and it was .030 over but otherwise pretty much as factory. Block was from 1974.
