1981 Corvette 350 Engine Cold Start

1981 Corvette needed started after sitting two months in a garage. It has the original 350 engine as far as I know. The mileage is unknown as the odometer does not work. It is currently reading about 79,000 miles. I do not know if the side pipes are original or not as the car has had a lot of work done to it. I was surprised it actually fired before I had to pump the gas.

This vid must be one of your first!! Your not talking in it!! Do you still have your very first video made??

@wreckingcars72 Yep, this is the first video I made.... and I still have the original footage. Whats funny is this was with the panasonic camera that had low light features AND night vision and I didnt know it in this vid!!!! Never changed a vette motor, though I can say this engine was changed. This engine was from a 84-85 Chevrolet Pickup truck. Found out after I ran the casting id.

@Vejita88 I love the sound of a 350. Engine was all stock and when I ran the numbers its actually a regular 350 out of an 83 pickup truck two bolt main I believe. Its nice with straight open pipes ;)

They are cool, sound good.... but if you forget when you get out and they are hot, they will burn you :-\

Nice Vette but loose the edlebrock air cleaner the foam inside those pieces of junk is highly flamable if your carb ever backfires your motor catches on fire Found out the hard way with my 81 trans am
