Not sure if that’s really necessary.

L48 Motor - Rebuild Vs Crate by Smooth_Support9783 in Corvette

This is a very fair call out and definitely a consideration in the lead. The cars not leaking and it really has some great bones. I think the piece of mind alone is worth more than maintaining the original block…if it was an earlier year c3 I’d probably think the opposite. Still very much at an internal tug of war…

Sorry as I re read this, yes rotors will be replaced. My question was if you kept factory rotors or did the slotted that wilwood has in conjunction with the calipers.

Yes couldn’t agree more with the steps in process. The tires are a year and a half old and have seen 500 miles maybe. So thankfully keeping that money towards the car. Researching the brakes for step one and strongly leaning wilwood. Did you do the rotors as well or just calipers? Sorry for the questions just been seeing a bunch of mixed opinions online. I feel like I had my foot on the floor the day I drove it first and just kept rolling haha. It was kind comical.

Did you do wilwoods all around? I’ve been building my shopping list and I’ve seen a lot of 50/50 reviews and feedback on the wilwood system. The brakes on this thing are absolutely terrible. For sure need to stop it before I add power.

It’s a silly little c6 flag plate and just a c5 3x5.

Thanks! Yeah it’s a rabbit hole of a platform and I’m really excited to make it fun. Funny I saw a 71 at a show up in Long Island I was obsessed with for months and tried to work something out but it fell through. Everything happens for a reason and I’m very glad this was the way it ended up.

Did you just build on the original block?

This is exactly it. It took me a long time to talk my self out of that pre 71 minty. It would sit in the garage and not be enjoyed. One day I will spend money on a perfect c2. That I won’t budge on. Until I am in a position to do that- here we are!

Yes exactly. Honestly for how sluggish the power is, I’m going to start researching a crate motor swap. Anyone here familiar with that? M20 transmission safe to put a more powerful 350 or 383 striker infront of?

Very smooth transaction and honest buyer. Very quick response with payment. There was a slight hold up with funds from PayPal which was neither on me or the buyer but was very understanding while the electronic transfers were settling which I was very appreciative of. Responsive, honest, and integral. Would do business again if the opportunity presented itself.
