Iron Block Corvette

Great shots. Just wondering, is there any reason you call it an "iron" block Corvette? Gen 6 body, 7.0L sounds like an LS7. 800HP sounds like a blower or spray - either way the LS7 has an aluminum block, not an iron block.

There's a reason the license plate is what it is

it's an iron block 7.0L out of a 2500HD truck (don't ask me why he did that, maybe to handle the giant amounts of spray) with massive big heads and 2 HUGE bottles of spray.

You nailed it.

Vettes are like supras. A Bagillion HP and slow(relatively) in the 1/4 mile.

Not ours

Only 11 seconds with 800 hp?

I do like the custom rear spoiler.

With their axle ratio, they are not drag cars. But it is nice to be turning about 1500 RPM at 70mph on the hiway.

Quality pics. Congrats the the pub.

All that power and no engine shots??

yeah.. engine shots woulda been nice.

The shots are great though

The guy made it look stock... You've seen what an LS1 looks like right?

There you go... pretty boring.
