Default Freshening up my first Z28

Below is a link to my first Z28 and my most recent post of the orig engine/trans removal.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthrea..._car#Post510321


Well I just got the engine back from the builder who dyno'd it, and to our surprise the little mouse made well over 400hp and close to 370 ft/lbs of torque. My goal was 400hp so I was very pleased. I plan to drive this car so I incorporated a modern valve train/cam and kept it day 2. In addition I freshed up the trans (syncros and bearings)and detailed the engine compartment. Well its now installed with a little help from my daughter who turns 26 next week (yes she still gets her hands dirty).

Nice job Steve, now the question... are you going to let her drive it or is she going to have to file for a Mechanic's lien?

I wish she would drive my cars. I let her drive my 69 L78 a few years back but she is hesitant to drive stick. Her boyfriend takes my pace car out from time to time. &quot;Her&quot; car is my black rs/z, but she won't drive the car. I need to get her comfortable driving stick... My one son will take the cars on occasion.

1. I can see we need to draw up some adoption papers. I will handle the paperwork for free &quot;DAD&quot;. When can you establish residency in Oklahoma? Let's get this started!!!

2. I taught all three of my kiddos (now 35, 31 and 30) to drive using stick shift cars only. For one thing, it is becoming a lost art. Everyone should know how just in case they ever have to drive one in an emergency. Secondly, they could borrow their mom's automatic for the driving test, and after learning on a stick, the test was a breeze in an auto.

Very cool Steve.

a great way to start the New Year. I know your engine man and I know that will make some mean power. A great family affair you got going on Steve. I have a 30 year old unmarried son who can drive a stick and I bet he would be a good instructor.

Very nice car; love that you're using it.

Man, if you were my dad, you'd have to pry me out of any one of those with a crowbar!
