Hey John

If you go to MadMikes 2gcog, here's a couple guys to check with...

Dino Graziano (dinograz_)
Great guy , he checks in here to.

Also Bob Routt, he has a beautiful 73 Z and is doing a 71 Z at this time..

I can hook you up with a number of them that are very Knowledgable in the #s game for the LT-1 ...

Dont forget the SWAP in INDY next week at the fair grounds.
I'll be going if you wanna ride with.

TTYL.
Jeff

Yo Jeff. Thanks for the offer, but I gotta work next Saturday. I had Mad Mike bookmarked, but never thought to look there for trans info. He shows 70 Z's with a 2400 RPM stall, but I've seen others list 1800. I figured the guys on this BB would be the real authoritys on the subject. Maybe I'll punch everything between 1800 and 2400 into Desktop Dragstrip and see what it says is best.

The 6 bolt converter GM used was rated at 2200 stall. My white car just starts to move the wheels at 2200 with that converter. Now did you really have to point out that Rob and I are oddballs

I will be at Stanton, as I hear there is a hemi from Texas that has my number, so we'll have the classic hemi vs ZL-1. Rob will be running 12.8's (right Rob?). Oh and yes, the throttle is hooked via a cable. Now build that car and go on a Casey hunt!!!!! (hi Casey....I know your watching)

I guess that we have all been missing Marlin's input here. Like so many guys here, Marlin is more of a car enthusiast than a computer enthusiast. He mentioned that he does not even have a computer at home, and that he was depending on using one at work to talk here. And he also mentioned that might change jobs. So that may be why he is not posting lately.

70 Novas use a throttle cable.There is a nos 6cyl cable on ebay auction# 1812355021.Earl

Well, looky here! I'm outta touch for a couple of days, and we get a new player in the Pure Stock game! SWEET! It's about time an LT-1 did a little W-31 huntin' at a Pure Stock event! (Casey's gonna LOVE this

!) Give 'em heck, John, and keep us up to date on how the car is coming. And WELCOME to the site!

Pete:

I've been off in the land of late model Camaros as of late (trying to find little bro a car), so the "upgrades" to the yellow car have been pushed back a little. I don't know about 12.8's...I'd be satisfied to run some 12's in Michigan...just as long as I'm quicker than a certain Stude...

I'm sorry Rob, but I won't except that answer!

Just want to say 'Thanks' to everyone who helped out with the answers to my questions. This certainly is one friendly bulletin board. Hope I can return the favor in some small way. Thanks. J.B.

Chevy454 · #20 03-19-2002, 10:30 PM

How can you return the favor? Put a WHOOPIN' on a certain green W-31, who's owner is lurking on this site

! Do us Chevy guys proud with that LT-1!!!!
