HRH Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 You know, technologically these cars weren't nearly as cool as the 510 being the sedans came with a solid axle rear end and very little hp, but still they have their spot. I do like the looks. Similar to a 210/510 combo. Lots of people boost the 2TC and 3TC engines. Pushrod fours still, yuck! But they go! Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah, you're going to want to patch those spots in the rear quarter though. Same place the 510 wagons like to rust. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 where did you come up with 6k? Well I guess they can go higher but generally an OHC engine will easily rev higher. GM chose to stick with the tried and true two valve pushrod V8 instead of developing SOHC or DOHC motors for the Vette. So far that is. I had occasion to push an '08 'Vette to 6K in 4th gear last spring. You would have to work out the speed as the speedo was switched to KPM at that time and stopped at 200. The tach was climbing very fast even at that speed and I imagine it would go higher than 6K but that's what I shifted at. Also the owner was in the passenger seat. :sweat: 6K seemed a reasonable safety margin. Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 so any suggestions on a motor swap??? Quote Link to comment

I did hold it in 5th for under 10 seconds. Common sense, who was riding in the back under the rear window, and actually enjoying the ride, finally tapped me on the shoulder and said that's enough.

LeX Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 you don't need a motor swap... a 2t or 3t with a 5spd and cams/header makes great power... or a 4ag with sidedrafts works great in these cars. here's my old one! It was a good car. Quote Link to comment
