cost for premium gas here is on average $1.30 a liter. less than you guys but still, That engine will drink that gas so quick that a full tank doesn't take you far.
definately needs stiffer and lower suspension with low profile tyres.... unless it will be used only on straights, which is dumb purpose for a Vette. Oh and take off this grill from the trunk :D
Hi, With cars it really depends on configuration. It's like a receipe, The car has now 400 HP but dependig on gear ratios and transmission it can all depend. With my 4 speed transmission and my 3:55 ratio rear end. when my RPM run's close to 5000 RPM I'll reach about 140 MPH. This combo as alot better take off than speed and it way better for a drag race. But change the gear ratio for 3.08's and you are gone for way more faster top speed.
Hey im 19 and actually looking at buying one of these same year, but we both have no idea how to price it. Theres no engine or transmission and it been sitting for about 5 years outside, needs paint etc. U have a ball park estimate what the body might be worth? And what kind of engines and transmissions will fit in it? Anywhere i can find more specs on the car? Thanks
This video is a bit old, the car now is making approx 400 HP. This is with 64cc patriot aluminium heads, Edelbrock performer EPS intake manifold, Holley 770 street avenger, comp cam xtreme energy 268.
when this engine goes bad. I'm planning to either swap with a 383 stroker or a BB 454.
@Rancher383 , I understand your point of vue about the 383. But the 1974 corvette was the last year for the BB 454. I've talked to an appraiser and said that the BB 454 would actually raise the value of my car. That's why I'm thinking big block right now. Also imaging the power that 454 could unleashed if modified a bit. ahah
Nice car, just wondering if you changed the front coil springs to get the ride height up a little? My 76 sits just a little low in the front, I changed the coils to 550 lbs but still same thing. I like the front spoiler on your vet I would add one to mine but its just a little too low for that right now.
@lebaneseonly the c3 corvette was GM's entering into touring sports car, so they probably looked at porche's as a classier car with awesome performance and wanted to compete. i'm not sure if they advertised it like this in 68, but i think that was the speech for 76. otherwise, look to the ideas behind the mako shark II, it inspired the ce3.
Man brings back memories from the 80s i had the same model car accept mine was light blue me and my best fuckin friend Tom used to roll with this car with Sabbath and Zeppelin blasted in this thing i was 20 in 84 man it brings back good memories
@wrangomonger the fastest accelerating corvette is 29th on the list of fast accelerating production cars. the list is dominated by european cars like the buhatti's and the koenigsegg. american cars only feature twice in the top ten at number 8 and 10 ...so i wouldnt go by acceleration but muscle cars have a nice look and sound to them
We have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 (1%) API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs/Injection and tank clean and rustfree!
@MarkHarasymuk1 Never heared about an L-42 engine before. they usually start at L-48, L-82 or LT1 or LS4 in those days. If L-42 exist, It as to be a 350 ci V8 engine. Nothing smaller came with these corvettes in these years. I've searched the corvette specs everywhere on the net and couldn't find an L-42 engine, Is it possible someone made a typo somewhere??
@curtisjb1983 how? i don't believe i have control of little cheerleader Sally and her dad's b.m.w or her need to text and drive i know 2 people who got hit(not their fault....my grandfather and my teachers late husband) grandpa made it out with 2 weeks in the hospital and my teachers husband was killed instantly so you can tell im a little concerned about these bodies
Nice and sounds good but not fast enough. I have a 1970. It had a 350/350 putting out around 375 horse. It had the LT-1 cam and camel hump heads. No low end at all. I couldn't compare it to my '94 Z28 with a vortech blown 355, it was way slow compared to that car. A supercharger makes things more complicated, so I decided new motor will be a 540 big block, no blower just N/A. If that ain't enough, how about a shot of NOS.
Im embarrassed to ask this but I cant seem to find an answer anywhere. What is the difference between a 76 stingray and 76 stingray L48? What does the L48 mean?
It's the same car, L-48 the model of engine that came with the car. 1974 was the last year for the Big Block engine named LS4, the other 2 availlable engine was the L-48 @ 195 HP and the L-82 @ 150 HP. The 1976 came with 2 availlable engine. The L-48 @ 180 HP and the L-82 @ 210 HP. The L-48 and L-82 are both small blocks 350. The LS4 in 1974 was a 454 Big Block. So to let you know the L-48 is the smaller engine availlable for those years of corvette. HP may vary depending of the year.
Actually after 1971 the HP dramatically went down. And yes the L-48 represents the engine package. The rest of the car is basically the same except for the transmission manual or automatic and the rear end gear ratio and other options like air conditioning and power windows.
@tepot5 in 71 actually the HP "drammatically went down beacause they changed the measuring system (they introduced the SAE method) so from 70 to 71 is not so different. The HP decreases the following years especially with the introduction of the catalist
@tepot5 THE L-82 IS ALWAYS MORE HP THAN THE L-48 . THE L-82 HAS AN ALUMINUM INTAKE AND THE L-48 HAS A CAST IRON. BOTH CAN BE MADE TO MAKE GOOD HP FOR LITTLE MONEY.
@tepot5 1974 L-82 with 150!!!!? Sorry to disagree but that's not true. I have an L82 Stingray but dont believe me. Believe vette facts.com here you go :)
In stock trim they are 15 second cars, but as you can see from this video alot of potential lays underneath once you change a few parts. This gentleman has added a cam that makes the best use of the low compression motor...intake and exhaust change it into a respectable machine. I dig this video
this is simply the best car i have ever heard and seen in my life..guys..i need help and non rude youtube users to give me costs on a used Corvette Sting Ray..and im dead set into getting one A.S.A.P
hey dude.....my dad just got 1 its a 73 stingray: rebuilt 350ci chevy original engine 3500 miles after rebuild; demon 650 carb. overhead cams, muncie rockcrusher 4 speed trans and puts out just under 400 horses. he got it for 18k even..you should be able to find one within 4k of that price...goodluck
how much did this cost you, I'm 15 almost 16 and my parents will pay for a car up to 10 grand, can't find anything better than 12 grand with 120k miles
I don't know how dead-set you are on a Stingray, but you can get a C4 model for about 5K. They're not as nice to look at, but to be 16 with a Corvette of any kind is simply kick-ass.
If you find a Stingray for 10 grand its going to be in need of alot of work a low price for a stingray in working order will be $20,000.Your price range is more of a project car something that needs an engine.
I,ve got L-82 stingray.1975....She,s got the same spoilers front and back as yours!..I,m getting it repainted this winter.,,She sounds exactly like your vette!. Too bad I cant hear that sound till next spring.(winter storage)....This year of vette is soo classic, love the front fenders when you drive these babys.....nice video and thanks for sharing
if i put this cam on my 454 do i need to mess with the compression ratio or head work? It has a edelbrok 4 bbl 650 or 600 cfm performer series carb that is the only thing done i believe and a K&N filter.
no work on compression ratio or heads required. Put the cam in and there you go. While you are doing this you might want to consider changing timing gears, timing chain and lifters and pushrods. this would be the perfect time to do it.
That's an easy one. Go on comp cam web site and their phone number for their cam help is on the first page top right corner. 1-800-999-0853. Call their help line and ask the guy on the phone and he'll tell you exaclty what cam you can put in your stock 454 engine.
does your hood have a cut out for the aftermarket air cleaner??
How is the hood clearance with the intake manifold/carb/cleaner? I want to do this exact setup on my fathers 80 L48 350 but i'm concerned about hood clearance. Additionally do you know where to find double hump cross members to run dual exhaust? the 80 has a single up =( which is lame unless i run a single 3 inch exhaust back to a split with 2 1/2 in. pipes
Did you consider the 262H cam? I'm looking to do the same upgrades, however was told the 268H is a bit big for the 350SB and that it might not be streetable at the lower end.
Not at all. 262H would probably be a waist of your money, The 268 is actually the biggest you can put in a stock 350 but is more likely not enouph for bigger engine. Put the 268 in your 350 and you'll love it. very streetable mild cam, no lost of vaccum. The 268 is really not a big cam. just regular. you'll love it.
What part number is your 268? The XE262H I'm looking at is the Xtreme Energy version (12-238-2). What rear gearing are you running? I dont mind the lumpy idle - I actually like it.
My cam Part Number: CCA-12-242-2. I really love the lumpy idle. I'd like to get a bigger cam but then you start to have vaccum problems and with booster brakes and lights running on vacuum. I don't want to go bigger. I love this one and I'm sticking with it.
I'm running 3:55 's for rear end ratio. Best for street. I mostly go on highway but like the acceleration. If your not on highway and don't mind fuel economy. Go with 3.73 's.
Awesome C3, when the hood was open there was a corvette emblem in the middle of the hood padding "0:17" where can I purchase that for my 73 c3? ps: check out my vids, I gave you a 5/5. Nice job!!
you won't find this emblem anywhere. I had it made from a sign shop around here. I've downloaded the logo from the internet and got them to make it bigger and they made the sticker for me. Thanks for the feedback. I'll go see your video and I'll rate it too.
what headers and mufflers do you have, along with the cross over pipe? Additionally did you change your valve springs/rockers etc. when you did the cam swap?
That is called cam lope, when you use a "bigger" (more agressive) cam it makes it idle like this. Alot of people use a bigger cam just to get this sound, I picked this same cam for that reoson!
I love your corvette dude!!! Its a large misconception that all of the C3 Corvette bodies were stingrays because only 1969-1976 were actually stingrays.
Well you mean 77-82.. Anyways they are called stingrays but really they're just a corvette without as much horsepower as the stingrays, yet still nice looking cars.

I don't know how dead-set you are on a Stingray, but you can get a C4 model for about 5K. They're not as nice to look at, but to be 16 with a Corvette of any kind is simply kick-ass.

im pretty set on the stingray, but thanks for the info
ItCouldBeRDG 2 years ago
If you find a Stingray for 10 grand its going to be in need of alot of work a low price for a stingray in working order will be $20,000.Your price range is more of a project car something that needs an engine.

now that im thinking about it, i guess 12k is a little low, thanks for the advice

Sounds like the exhaust need replacing a bit loud but fix that and you will have a nice cruiser mate.

No way, took me a while to find that sound. Loud is better, quiet cruiser is for old folks. American Muscle shouldn't sound like civics.

xardas1984 2 years ago
if i put this cam on my 454 do i need to mess with the compression ratio or head work? It has a edelbrok 4 bbl 650 or 600 cfm performer series carb that is the only thing done i believe and a K&N filter.
Hotrodx199 2 years ago
no work on compression ratio or heads required. Put the cam in and there you go. While you are doing this you might want to consider changing timing gears, timing chain and lifters and pushrods. this would be the perfect time to do it.
tepot5 2 years ago
Oh sweet. Do you know what the biggest comp cam i can put on a stock 454 without doing any work to it?
Hotrodx199 2 years ago
That's an easy one. Go on comp cam web site and their phone number for their cam help is on the first page top right corner. 1-800-999-0853. Call their help line and ask the guy on the phone and he'll tell you exaclty what cam you can put in your stock 454 engine.

does your hood have a cut out for the aftermarket air cleaner??
How is the hood clearance with the intake manifold/carb/cleaner? I want to do this exact setup on my fathers 80 L48 350 but i'm concerned about hood clearance. Additionally do you know where to find double hump cross members to run dual exhaust? the 80 has a single up =( which is lame unless i run a single 3 inch exhaust back to a split with 2 1/2 in. pipes

Did you consider the 262H cam? I'm looking to do the same upgrades, however was told the 268H is a bit big for the 350SB and that it might not be streetable at the lower end.
Sudo911 2 years ago
Not at all. 262H would probably be a waist of your money, The 268 is actually the biggest you can put in a stock 350 but is more likely not enouph for bigger engine. Put the 268 in your 350 and you'll love it. very streetable mild cam, no lost of vaccum. The 268 is really not a big cam. just regular. you'll love it.
tepot5 2 years ago
What part number is your 268? The XE262H I'm looking at is the Xtreme Energy version (12-238-2). What rear gearing are you running? I dont mind the lumpy idle - I actually like it.
Sudo911 2 years ago
My cam Part Number: CCA-12-242-2. I really love the lumpy idle. I'd like to get a bigger cam but then you start to have vaccum problems and with booster brakes and lights running on vacuum. I don't want to go bigger. I love this one and I'm sticking with it.
tepot5 2 years ago
I'm running 3:55 's for rear end ratio. Best for street. I mostly go on highway but like the acceleration. If your not on highway and don't mind fuel economy. Go with 3.73 's.
tepot5 2 years ago
Awesome C3, when the hood was open there was a corvette emblem in the middle of the hood padding "0:17" where can I purchase that for my 73 c3? ps: check out my vids, I gave you a 5/5. Nice job!!
cherrynutz 2 years ago
you won't find this emblem anywhere. I had it made from a sign shop around here. I've downloaded the logo from the internet and got them to make it bigger and they made the sticker for me. Thanks for the feedback. I'll go see your video and I'll rate it too.

why does it sound like its gonna crap out at idle.
OverkilledUnderdog 2 years ago
That is called cam lope, when you use a "bigger" (more agressive) cam it makes it idle like this. Alot of people use a bigger cam just to get this sound, I picked this same cam for that reoson!

I love your corvette dude!!! Its a large misconception that all of the C3 Corvette bodies were stingrays because only 1969-1976 were actually stingrays.

so what is the 77-81 regarded as cause those looked the nicest.
455oldsTARoadHun 2 years ago
Well you mean 77-82.. Anyways they are called stingrays but really they're just a corvette without as much horsepower as the stingrays, yet still nice looking cars.
Sarcasticscum 2 years ago
those aren't stingrays. Chevy dropped the stingray name after 76. There's a rumor they're bringing it back for the C7.
