Technical advice - Muffler

As some know my 1990 C4 Corvette is having it's engine rebuilt. Because of my impending job situation the engine is just getting a straight rebuild, stock configuration, no mods.

Re: Porsche's LA Track! Thanks Pete L

I get to pass it everyday on the way to work. Be fun for people riding the Goodyear blimp out from across the street to look down. Wouldn't be surprised if another tire manufacture sponsors a big sign for the blimp to look down on.

corvette L98 engine

May need a replacement engine. Given I am scheduled to be laid off / early retired 15 May 2014, I am looking for a reliable motor, not an exotic that can't pass smog. I appreciate any leads.

Thanks

Re: Exotic Car Instructors Needed

It was odd ... the Ferrari's had no brake issues, but the Lambos did, including the one that had had it's brakes serviced with racing fluid. Ryan thought the Ferrari's had better cooling but it's hard to believe that the Lambo brakes weren't holding up to our short stints on a not very warm day. Ap...
