Hey,
I’ve be “ruining” Corvettes since 1973. My first was a 350-350 ’69 that I purchased about a month into the 1973 oil embargo. It had the usual hop up stuff, headers, carb, intake and ignition. I did a typical panel paint job on it and had fun with it till 1975. Replaced it with a loaded 427 ’67. About a year later I got bug for another C3 and picked up another 69 but this time a convertible.
I did have one that I did not modify, that was a 390 HP ’66 coupe. By the late seventies prices were going up and I decided to leave it alone and just sell it rather than make into something I enjoyed driving.
Currently I’ve been playing with a couple of T-Tops, a different ’69 and a ’72 LT-1. I put six speeds in both of these. I have a 427 small block in the ’72. I was running a 383 in the ’69 but my Camaro “borrowed “it after the Camaro had the typical rod through the pan kinda day. So the ’69 sits with an empty bay at the moment. My wife took the Camaro away and didn’t want the 383 so I could put it back in the Vette but I think something more powerful will be required.
