Im 21 my 84 full coverage is $100 thru geico, lol my record is two accidents and a seatbelt ticket. And by accidents I lterally bumped people backing out buy yea two "accidents" so that's cheap.
ik this is a stupid Q but what will happen when you dont have an air filter on? im buying a car (with a 383) but it doesnt have the air filter on does this affect performance at all? and is it ok to run it without the af? thanks in advance
I actually found one of these on CL for 4000, only downside is since I'm 22 my insurance agent would totally screw me over on rates. : ( I guess I can't blame him though... I would get in so much trouble.
GREAT SOUNDING '84 VETTE.. LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE COMPLETELY!!! I'm thinking bout taking out the Crossfire TBI and putting cleaner set up Carburetor from Edelbrock!! Keeping the original Engine and transand everything else not sure bout the gauges?! Still deciding on that look.
As a matter of fact......if you're on a tight budget , the first and best way to start modifying your '84 Corvette is to find a used '85 or newer tuned port injection system . You won't believe the improvement in your performance by just doing this first step. Crossfire was a dead duck...and Chevy knew it immediately . That's why they changed it in '85 . I recommend getting new injectors , too .
Put a tuned port injection with alluminum heads and your '84 will scream like you never imagined . But hang onto the Crossfire injection system in the event that these one year production vettes will become valuable later down the road (say in 20 years)
No problem mustangtomiata . It's a common mistake . I completely revamped my '84 by modernizing the body and modifying the engine. By sight... You can't tell what year it is which makes it unique in it's own . You could say that I made three lefts to make a right by not just buying a newer Vette , but where's the fun in that ? If you have the time , the money, and the imagination.....these vettes can be very fun and challenging to modify .
I'm lucky one of my Vettes is a lower mileage 84 and the motor has been cared for. Now while the motor is nothing great it is still cool if you have a good running one original to the car. In the quarter mile some of todays cars that I own that it runs similar to. 07 hemi jeep chorokee, any v6 f-body car, or any and I mean any ford Mustang because they are all slow pieces of s--t. I also do not and will never own a ford, though unless I'm hung upside down and tortured.
Just a pre 79 block bored 30 over, 74 iron heads, performer rpm intake, Holley 4bbl. Dont know cam, only owned it for a month ended up selling it for a 79 vette project with a 383 stroker.
Hey man, just wondering how you got rid of the crossfire. Did you switch to tuned port? Multi-port? I've got an 84 with crossfire myself and frankly it annoys me. Hell, if I'm not mistaken, the c4 is a bet of an electronic mess. Maybe it's just the 84. Nonetheless, I love the car. Any idea how I can 'upgrade' to TPI?
get the system from a corvette which someones parting out if u really wanna do all that work but i wouldn't say its worth it unless you know what your doing basically you have to switch out injection and the manifold and stuff i believe is pretty pricey to upgrade to or replace
Cool... I am a huge fan of Vettes. I am holding onto my 67' with a death grip. I've had her since 69' 427ci 435hp on the dyno she pushed almost 500. my two 90's are ongoing projects. One is a pro street 572ci and the other is currently a 350 soon to be a 383 crate.
Hate Crossfire... Hate it lol. Glad you got rid of it. The cam sounds alright. Not Overly agressive. The exhaust seem a little pingy. Would like them to be a bit deeper and less hollow/pingy. I have two 90's and a 67'.
What exhaust system do you have?

hopefully this vette doesn't get parted out, it's perfect to restore it as far as i can see it from here. would be a shame to slaughter it.
