You got the right wheels,only thing it needs now to unleash the beast is a beautiful set of chrome Hooker headers/side pipes. Those factory manifolds choke-off the exhaust flow of the mighty LT-1. The dyno guy said you lose 35 HP. And Hookers don't leak if installed with the right quality gaskets! Very,Very nice car!

This Vette is a 1970, there were 3 small block 350 cu/in motors that year 300HP "base" L-48 motor, the great running 350HP L-46 motor and my favorite the 370HP LT-1 motor. Lt-1 will rev quicker than the other motors but, if your not mechanically inclined enough to take care of solid lifter and a Holley 4 barrel, you should look for a 350HP or just build a "stealth" 383 stroker motor.

Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. Called Bundesabgasbespaßungsverordnung :-(

The 72 runs fine on pump fuel, the 70 has lowered compression ratio but still isn't happy in hot weather on its 91RON octane premium fuel.
