What year "corvette" motor is it because chevy hasn't put anything smaller than a 350ci 5.7l in their corvettes since at least the early 70's I don't think.. A 327 is a 5.3 correct?.. Those usually go in the chevy trucks these days.. So unless it's a crate motor for some old corvette I doubt it's a corvette motor but instead a motor shoehorned in from a Silverado..

@bighunt08

great assumption, it is from a 1968 corvette my uncle owned that was totalled. it was involved in a rear end total loss. So, it is a 327 , it originally had the ribbed corvette valve covers with the cursive script all aluminum covers. This is what i say it is, i have been building custom cars for a long time, no need to lie on my part. my body is consumed with half oil and half blood,

Nice job, but that noise would piss me off after the novelty had worn off. Also the rev counter does not work, or is it speedo. Also, what is the ride like on those huge rims, in my experience old car suspension and modern low profile rubber leads to back breaking ride. Again i like the idea though

@PaulBriden

EVERYONE SAYS THAT, YOUR RIGHT ITS NOISY

@volvomantom i'm english , yes mcdonalds and starbucks can get fooked, but this is a private individual doing what he wants to his own car! get off your high horse , this thing is sweeet!. if i had the cash i'd build one if only to piss off the old farts.

I heard the main issue for the triumph v8 going wrong was as it ran at such a high pressure, it could easily blow hoses. Also that the hoses were pretty long and didnt help the situation. I doesnt take a genius in the modern world to fit uprated hoses, put them on properlly and use the proper engine. TVR would shit on any corvette.

Beautiful Stag....only gripe for me is the automatic gearbox, but this Stag was probably an automatic to begin with, so it makes sense to keep as such. Imagine this Stag with an LS2 & a T-56 tranny? Wow!

[volvomantom]

I wished I'd never made that comment on this video now. All I get in the notifications is somebody on here telling me how wrong I am. But whoever disagrees with my original post is wrong.

@volvomantom Your ignorance is showing! The Stag was made fundamentally for the American market and it was rubbish! Now with some extra technology, quality control and people who do actually give a damn about what they produce the Stag can be made to be reliable fun to drive and a real head turner. So go fit your Volvo with a toothbrush motor and it will be greener than your face!

@volvomantom you spelled arses wrong

[earsneyes43]

@volvomantom Then there's that issue about the Ford GT40, Shelby Cobra 289 and 427, Sunbeam Alpine Tiger. This has building up inside for a long time; you know that there are pills available and treatment, right?

[Themax63]

My, my. That volvomantam really is an angry little excuse for a man! He certainly doesn't speak for the rest of us Brits. Personally, I love the sound of V8's and American '70's muscle cars are jolly lovely. What! Roll on, you Triumph loving yank, you!!

[wizsoft]

@volvomantom often forgotten is that Triumph acknowledges that the Rover 3.5 all alloy motor should have been the original choice over the OHC 3 litre V8. An engine Rover bought from Buick in the late 50's
