True to the game , I found a deal on a pair of #113s that was too good to let slide.

I wasliekwtf y it is so cheap?

So I made it this msg..

"Hi.

I'm curious why the Corvette was parted out? Did it run? Are these heads sound and of good quality Mr "no returns"? What is wrong with them? I am very interested." and attached a pic of the IROC. :cool:

In the listing he clearly stated "no returns" so I needed him on record saying nothing was wrong with them because eBay's BUYER PROTECTION works! Ask me how I know.

He replied:

"Nothing wrong with them at all.
Corvette was parted out because interior was trashed and dash was busted up.
I don't accept returns on items like this because people will try and send me their junk part and tell me it was mine."

See I been shopping these famous 113s for a WHILE -since the LAST Blazer -and that price was HELLA cheap so I bought them.
Like stupid low price and that is the PAIR, not one!
lolololololol :party33:

+free ship?
:banana-mario:

* if i'm LUCKY - 083s will come out and off of Helen so I can use THEM, elsewhere.

The intake is a short runner TPI upgrade called the Holley Stealth Ram, it works with your factory ecm and injectors to improve air flow and remove the 4500 RPM wall the TPI engine struggled with. http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/0307htp-hollley-stealthram-intake-third-gen-iroc/

Well hell if I had know I had a pair of those too that were decked, small port job, valve job and new springs for the .520 lift cam I had. think I sold them for $350

I appreciate your time @4WDKC .
I had a night to sleep on it and have determined that is not for me at any cost, i'm really not interested.. Thank you sincerely for the consideration.
:angels2:

I would never in a million years dream of deleting the huge runners. They are the draw! I coukdn't care less how good or bad everybody else thinks they work. It's not a race car.. I have it because It's cool :cool:
It's got them big honkin intake tubes! :cool:

Can't ever be easy or pleasant!

Oh. $375 I paid for them heads...

Of course I pull the Camaro out of the garage and it starts raining.

I returned the head gasket juice back last week because I think that would probably be a waste of 35 bucks.
*looks at the #113s*

I'm about to decide it's got a cracked head.
I REALLY don't want to delete the oil cooler and ima try not to.

Looks like I may have to drive it around for a couple of weeks while I get the Blazer's transmission rebuilt.

:(


I am FEENIN to yank the engine ESPECIALLY after driving it.

Runs like chit. :(

What's next for the car? 408 cubed tuned port with headers.

I have a humongous pile of parts here. 4 shocks+ spring compressor, hood vents, headers+y-pipe+Flowmatser, stereo+ampS+subwooferS, headliner, console, stripe kit, parking brake..TONS OF STUFF to do. It's a good thing I left it in a running condition all winter. I turned the key and it fired up! I checked the oil and drove it to work lol.



Ol boy Bryan is kind of ready to send the Blue Ox home for a bit -in running / driving condition and as soon as THAT happens, ima yankee doodle Helen's 350 this summer or spring for sure!
:headbang:

Finally fixed?

"fixed"

I have nothing but good review for the Bar's Leak stuff. The car will seeming run forever now. I can even watch the thermostat cycle and she's not missin a beat.
Seriously itching to get after this pile o' parts - good thing I has patience!
That Magnablow really drives me nuts..i'm feenin for the FLOW so my **** won't be so....slow.
Needs a timing adjustment (more advance) and I moved the steering wheel around a tooth or two today.

She has come a long way since August..Helen is actually predictable now.

Reliable, dependable, predictable.
Those are the qualities what I require from my rides.

Good.Fast.Cheap. - pick two. This Camaro is good and cheap. Lol..after I get the 400 in it she'll be kinda fast and built VERY good- but that sure as hell ain't gonna be cheap!

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

At least there's a plan and I own most of the parts already.
