Good morning,
Checking in from Colorado Springs. Recently picked up a L-48 75 Corvette with 43k miles that had been in my brother in laws garage. Car was not moved or started in 20 years. Bumper had cracked, mice were inside..you know the story.
So far, I have bought new bumpers, carpet and insulation, seat foam and new leather covers, VB&P sport front suspension, and poly body mount bushings.
Just got the engine and trans out this weekend. Anyone ever seen a TH-400 behind a L-48? The new bullet is a 425hp 355 bcked by a 700R4. The rear was rebuilt with new 4:10 gears and posi just before it was parked.
I do need some brake advice. Apprently there was some leaking of the MC when it was parked. It was bone dry. I want to upgrade the brake system. What's the best bang for the $$$. I don't want/need Brembo style brakes but do want something that will not fade on days when we going driving through the mountains. I looked at the C5 upgrade but not sure that would be better than say a Wilwood setup....thoughts?
I'm doing a search as we speak on the brake stuff so don't kill me yet ;-)
