You're so going to need some suspension mods once you start driving that! LOL

Looks good!

 

 

NEVER SEEN A LS1 w/ a CARB, huh?

 

Finally got those pics up from when I saw you at NLP for the dyno day huh? How much further along on the car are they?

 

More HP w/a carb. or does it sounds better?

 

Looks like you're gonna have some hood clearance issues. Can't wait to see it get done. I'm about to do a TH350 --> 2004R swap in Jen's C3. The old tranny was too big of a granny once I put the heads & cam on it. 3rd starting slipping the first time I drove it. It lasted almost a month and now there is almost no more grip at all in 3rd gear. It's just like driving on a burnt out clutch. 1st & 2nd are awesome though. lol. It'll be nice to have that overdrive with lockup torque converter in it. Talk about a daily driver with AC and good mileage. Who would have expected that from a '77 Vette? You need to come see it sometime.

 

Its still gonna handle like a truck. I never liked the way those things drove, didnt impress me much. Id take a 4th gen with worn out abused suspension and still get a better ride quality than that thing. Im sure you'll be upgrading that in the future though, and it will be nice in the end. To each his own. Good luck.

 

A '57 Chevy Belair wouldn't handle for beans either but that's not why you own them. Same with a C3. They're not the best corner carvers. But they're still awesome cars.

We have newer cars with refined suspensions for turning corners.

 

NOTHING has the looks of a C3.... unique body style with a unique engine.... sounds like a winner to me... I just need a paint job now. Orginal paint.

Chuck... I love to see your C3.

As far as handling... NO autoxer here I have skinny tires up front now. TT-II Trying to reduce weight also. shooting for less than 3300 w/o driver. With a spare tire holder gone, a LS1 motor, light weight wheels and tires I should be there.

Daily driver with a 12 second ET is what I am going for. Looking to make about 325 rwhp and 375-380 rwtq

 

Sweet car, I really looked into C3s back in the day but my big goofy but couldn't fit in it comfortably
