What a peach!!!

That looks like fun X1000!!!

It has a clutch!!! It has a serious small Block!!! I like!!

How do you know it’s a close ratio (verbal from previous owner?)

What rear gears? 3.55?? Corvettes got big tires maybe a 3.73?

Following!!! Can’t wait for the tank drop ceremony.

3.70 gears in the Corvette IRS diff , 3.73 is Camaro, Chevelle stuff. 3.36, 3.55, 3.70 and 4.11 are the possible choices here, with 3.36 being an M20-ONLY gear ratio in a '70 LT1 Vette, and not available with the close ratio trannies.

Thanks Des, I am not up on these. What diameter tires were used? The LT1/M20/3.36 sounds fun.

Lynn........... was the tank sticker still there?

Will be dropping the tank this weekend. Hopefully that answers all the questions.

PO owned it since 1984. Been sitting mostly since 85.

I doubt it is a ZR1. Has a radio.
