I have been pricing 1991 Corvettes lately and have seen a few I'd like to buy and drop my engine into. However, that's going to require that I make some room in the garage. My thinking is to strip the current car and sell off the parts, then buy a Corvette. The big question is, can I find a buyer for the bare/mostly bare chassis? And, can I find enough boxes to ship all of this stuff or setup local pick up or delivery (either on my way "somewhere" or to a race event where stuff can travel the rest of the distance with friends, etc)? I hope to start stripping the car fairly soon and put everything in the corner of the garage.

Anyway, it's been so long that I don't even know what some of these parts cost new (or currently), so I picked a few prices based on what I think I remember retail to be (and discounted it). If I'm crazy, let me know. Most things are a little negotiable, combine stuff is even better (like if you want the chassis, brakes, seat, etc...lets talk). If you see something you want and don't like the price, make me an offer.

Prices don't include shipping.



1992 Camaro Z28 chassis. Bare. Includes front fenders, pedals, brake booster, master cylinder, chassis hard brake lines, doors, cage, fuel tank (pump and sending unit), tail lights, rear hatch. I have a clean title in hand for the chassis. You can't have this cage built/installed somewhere for this price.

1750


Disk brake 10 bolt. The axle has the following: 3.73 rear gears, Eaton posi, Moser axles, Aluminum rear support cover, Hawk HPS pads and good rotors. It's a factory rear disk brake axle with all new guts and the PHB bracket welded onto it from an unbalanced engineering PHB relocation kit. (I might even consider parting out the rear if we get that far)

1100 (Sold)


I also have a couple Torsen T2's (4th gen regular torsens) and an Auburn Racers diff (I have no idea what condition the clutches are in). Racerdad916 has his pick of them and the rest will be looking for new homes. Price TBA.

6 OEM wheels. 2 are "crosslace" TA wheels (rears) and 4 Iroc wheels (one has a bit of damage at the bead/lip). The Iroc wheels have 4 have OLD toyo Proxes on them.

Why not keep the T56 for the C4? What trans would you use? The original ZF? Finding 6 spds is hard, and ZF's are so expensive to rebuild these days (last I checked anyway).

Will it fit? It seemed that the clutch was a no-go and I didn't think the trans was an easy swap? I might hold onto it if it works without too much difficulty. Is there a write up on the swap?

The c-beam mount is the hard part. If you can fab that, I don't think there are any other complications. I know there are write ups in the C4 section of Corvette Forum.

I'll have to do some digging. Driveshaft stays the same?

Thanks!

I *think* it stays the same, but I can't remember. The C-beam has to be redrilled like 3/4-1" shorter because the mount is added on, but it's AL so not too hard. You need an LT1 clutch and slave cylinder, but you can use the C4 master.

Kevin - If you have to turn the car into cash, parting it out will probably net you more $$ than firesaling the car. I got my bottom line out of my car parting it, and still have the car - and that is a problem. It takes up space my wife would rather put her junk in. Mine has my first cage and most of the sweat equity in the car is fully depreciated, so if it ends up in a crusher it's not a huge deal, but yours represents a lot of recent labor, is well done, and really needs to be on a race track.

The market seems to be waking up, folks are thinking about another season, you might give it a few weeks and a final burst of advertising it as a whole car.

I put a TKO on a SBC in a 88 Corvette, it used to have the Nash trans. As I recall:

- custom fabbed a Cbeam mount that picked up a couple of case bolts and the trans mount (edit - no TA mount on that one)

- shortened the aluminum driveshaft, local DS shop did it no problem, was not expensive

- trimmed a small portion of the tunnel near the shifter, patched it with aluminum. T56 is similar in bulk to the ZF so there is room.

- custom fabbed a bracket for a CNC clutch slave - it actuated a conventional release lever on a 7 1/4" QM, with the C4 master

- used a (long or short, don't remember which) OEM release lever ball, shimmed a bit

Here's a pic of the BH, dunno what it was from. I think there was an adapter plate between the BH and the trans. The slave bracket is partly visible behind the heat shield.

that bellhousing is a std 3rd gen T5 bellhousing.

The ZF is indeed comparable in size to the T56

I figured I could part most of it and keep the engine for the C4. Or, maybe I can buy the C4, swap in my engine and toss the stock one from the Corvette into the Camaro? That would work ok too. Selling it as a whole (though I do want my engine for the Vette) would be much easier for me and I'd love to see someone using it as intended. If it gets parted out, I was expecting that we would eventually wind up cutting up the cage/chassis and hauling it off for scrap (if it doesn't sell). I'll need the garage for the new car.

I'd love to get a chance to play with this one, but I don't really have the time for events and I no longer seem to enjoy spending whole weekends at the track. I can't seem to decide to dedicate the few dollars I'd need to get it track ready (or I'd have done it by now. It only needs the lexan installed or glass put in and I need a new helmet and would like to put a flat hood on it). I put this post together a few days ago and have been trying to decide if I should post it or not. The GF agrees that I should buy a street car again (she knows I really miss having one...and she'd drive it ). I've thought about selling this thing so many times that it seems like the right thing to do. I've really lost interest in motorsports competition. If I get bored, I'll run the Corvette down to an autocross and run E-Mod or something (due to the engine).

I guess I could re-list it without the engine (but with trans, headers, radiator and all. Just drop in your small block and hook up the EFI wiring) and see if it sells.

Put me down for the weight jacks & springs, and possibly the driveshaft and the camber plates.

Dibs on all the serpentine stuff....

Can you send me photos for the AFCO radiator and fans. Any pics of radiator & fans in the car and any additional info. on these two items.
Thanks,

Brian

http://www.jegs.com/i/Flex-a-lite/400/185/10002/-1

Lots of great parts but I have no money. Man this stinks

Put me second in line for springs and weight jackers. Might be interested in the power steering cooler. Do you have any pics of the cooler?

Thanks!

any pics of the Grant steering wheel? Also, any info on the SLP shorty headers? I searched slp's site and unable to find anything. I have a 350 sbc which i plan to put AFR aluminum heads on, any reason why they wouldn't work? Thanks

edit: nevermind found some in your build thread. Was gutting the column necessary to install the wheel / quick release? Or can I keep everything? Thanks

You can keep everything, I gutted the stuff I didn't need because it was extra weight and I wasn't using a key. You may wish to trim the "collar" on the column (right behind the quick release) for better clearance to avoid smashing your fingers if you aren't careful. I didn't trim mine and it works just fine, you just have to avoid getting excited installing the wheel or you might wind up with sore fingers.

The headers are out of production (as I remember). It's a set of 1 3/4" shorty headers that come with a y pipe (mine is the dual cat design but it has stainless straight pipe welded in it). There are fittings for the factory air injection and they are stainless headers. They are rare but seem to be fairly sought after because they fit well and they work.

Ok, let me think about the steering wheel, in the mean time any pics of the headers? I wont be running the factory air system so I'm curious about if it can be blocked off/what it will look like if blocked off. Thanks

Ryan

It is currently blocked off (the air system) with pipe plugs. I considered cutting the tubes off and taking the tig to the openings...but I never did. I'll try to get some pics soon.

Please put me down for these, first item 100% for sure. Need to be shipped, though. Is the Ripper a noticeable upgrade from the stock shifter? I've never really driven either . . .

Thanks.

Digging up boxes is the trick, but I have a little time before I tear it apart (waiting for some slightly warmer weather) to gather boxes.

The Ripper is 10 times better than the stock SLP shifter and the SLP shifter was better than the Pro 5.0's that I've driven (the Pro 5.0 is a notchy, clunky pain in the butt that seems to constantly need rebuilt...Rippers are smooth and just work, and work forever).

OK, I'll take it, then. Thanks.

I'll take the steering wheel and quick release. will need it shipped

I could be interested in the t56 and clutch/flywheel if we could talk price, I can help to find a freight company if you'd be willing to put it on a pallet and have it picked up. Feel free to PM and we can go from there.

looks like I'm 2nd in line for the camber plates and 1st in line for the Panhard Bar.

Put me down for the the PS cooler as well. Is it the small or large one? Like new, or beat up?

Are the Koni SA's new in the box w/ adjusting knob and all? That's not far off the price of a new set.

The PS cooler is the small one, it's in virtually new condition (as far as I remember, I'll verify that first).

The Koni's have 50 minutes of track time, some autocross runs (50 runs?) and a couple hundred street miles. As I said, I don't remember prices on all of this stuff new anymore, so if I'm high I can always take offers. Once I get the car apart I can send you pics and I'm sure we can adjust pricing a bit.

OK, keep us all posted, and Thanks.

if you will seperate the shocks, I'd like the fronts. let's talk about the wheels.

I seem to remember you having del-alums, how much would you want for them? May be easier for both of us if you just sold them installed in the a-arms...

I need to rewire my relocated battery, but I'm afraid I'm a little ways away before I get to it. I'd be interested in some of the solenoids, I just don't know what I need.

The del-a-lums are gone, I never installed them and sold them to a frrax member some time ago.




That's not too difficult. I can help you with that one.

I have someone interested in the whole car, or a signifigant portion of it. I'm waiting to see if it sells and what they want with it. Then I should start removing the extra parts or parting it out.

They've been on the front of my IROC for about a year now.

It was YOU!!! lol... I couldn't remember who got those. I was thinking it was you, and then I decided that I really didn't have a clue anymore.

I think the plan is that we start stripping the car Friday night. I need to locate some more boxes.

I also have a couple Torsen T2's and an Auburn Racers diff (I have no idea what condition the clutches are in). Racerdad916 has his pick of them and the rest will likely be looking for new homes.

I realized that I should list the bare chassis as "$1600 for the cage and $100 for the car" so I can sell it to a Lemons or chumpcar team. Cages are safety items and don't count. Find a $400 donor car and go racing!

Those are all out and loose now. I just have to find boxes for all of them.



Should be out this week.



Shifter isn't out yet, but can be in about 10 minutes. Torque arm is, but I have to find a box big enough to ship the crossmember. I forgot how big that thing is with the built in driveshaft loop.




Steering wheel is off, I just need to pull the quick release off of the column and find a box. Give me a day or so.



PHB is off.



Koni's are off. The fronts are going to sell locally to a good friend of mine (or I think they are). Anything I don't have to ship is a winner too. The rears are loose and sitting in the garage now.

Looks like you're makin moves. I'm still in 100% for wheel and release, and very interested in headers / y-pipe due to the fact that it's a 1 3/4'' pipe in a shorty design. I am bummed that there are the air pipes on it, but as far as I can tell nobody else makes a 1 3/4'' in a shorty? I'm still interested in some pictures of them, but figure we could ship them all at once if possible. Whatever works, thanks

I might be able to remove the air fittings and weld up the holes with the tig. I bought the correct stainless tig rods for that type of steel so I have it in the garage.

Consider them sold in that case!

If Slow TA isn't taking the 'plates let me know so I can send money for the PHB and plates.

Kevin, I know my friend Tom Harwood emailed you about a few of the items early on but he has not heard from you.

I will go back through his email tomorrow. I have most of the car apart (and I'm digging for boxes). I didn't forget about him.

Thanks Doug!

Emailed with Tom last night. I still need some boxes and we should have some things pretty well worked out.

Transmission, clutch, flywheel and shifter are out now.

Ripper, and the power steering cooler are out of the car and laying here on the table. Toss in $15 for freight and I'll get it all boxed up and ready to go (I'll pm the info). The torque arm is out, but I'm still looking for boxes large enough to get it to you (and I need to send you pics of the repair I forgot about).





Steering wheel and quick release are out of the car. I'll send you a PM.





Headers aren't out of the car quite yet.

How much for one of the Torsens, wouldn't mind having a spare. Shipped to 95636.

Due to shipping weight and distance, how's $130 sound?

Kevin,I may be interested in the shell> I havent had any luck findung a 4th gen shell with a title. Im just the opposite of you. i have my 95' track/street car but want a full blown race car to run this year at few of the events. Ill Pm you at some point this week. Im in florida for my friends wedding.

Greg GT Tholen

PS the brake brackets work very well!!

That would be cool. I'd love to see someone actually use it as intended. I have a clean title in hand. And parts cars are cheap these days.

I still need to get the spoiler off the car and get it in some kind of a box. The camber plates are here for him as well. I'm going to try to get some more stuff boxed up tonight and see how far I get (boxing stuff is the hard part of this operation).

I will let him know you are still working on it.
