Should've got bigger rims, less sidewall, looks a bit mullet-mobile. Otherwise, not bad...

I agree, get at least a 16" wheel and less sidewall

actually i agree with the rims, they give it that hillbilly/native look. I rather keep the cragars than buying stock rims, here are some 19' I tried while its still on the hoist

I think the Cragars look better than those style of 19's :kekeke:

Needs more tri-bar tail-lights.

Well those 19's were off a BMW* :kekeke: I was thinking of buying some smoked tailights and drilling holes so I can install some high power leds... would that be illegal?

well maybe cuz it came with the car, im not rich... and besides why does it really matter? it runs and does the job for now until i can find a nice fuel injection setup. btw... you'RE :gay:

nice car. fuck the fuel injection, its not worth the hassle setting it up in there. spend the money on upgrading motor.

do you actually know its an LT1?

Im pretty sure there were OE LT1s in the early 70s that were carbed. Not like the LT1s in 4th Gens.

those were LT-1s
they were an option in corvettes, i know that much. he said its an "LT1" which only means the reverse cooling optispark engine of 93-97 camaros.

I dont think GM ever put a dash in an engine code

I dont think they have put a dash on it either,* all i've been able to find is my casting number but it was hard to read so I have to re check it , are there any more easier ways to check your cast number and date other than by the bellhousing area? I know some sbc have different places you can check the dates and stuff
BTW, who has* a T5 WC (v8) for sale or knows someone who does? I dont have the money yet but they are hard to find* :(

Wait...I thought he was joking? Well shit, I thought it was common knowledge. Either way, I'm sure he has the LT-1, it seems quite unlikely that he would have an LT1 converted to carb in there.

im gonna assume (and i know im right) its lt-1, because the price it cost to carb a lt1 (gen III sbc) would be too much considering the look of the car
