Shhhhhhhhh

The rocker studs are too short or pushrods are too long, or both. Looks like the poly locks are only on by maybe two threads.

We noticed that too. Just waiting for cover gaskets before dowing the car when we do a lash setting and make sure it's just the wrong poly locks.

This is how my lowly smallblock looks with those same rockers and polylocks.

Maybe it's those sweet 3/4 race studs to go with their 3/4 race cam?

Something, something, Boomer logic

Found a smokin deal on the right offset and width vintage American racing 200s wheels.. or some call them daisy's, or Coke bottles...

Guy also had a set of hooker BBC side pipe headers, along with NOS pipes and 2 sets of inserts!

I wanna read what they thought of you haggling em down...

I didn't really have to do much, the guy had them listed as torque thrusts. Lol

 

[daturbosix]

Oh and dude thought the headers are chrome with the way they blued from heat.

Clearly stainless

 

[daturbosix]

God damn. Amazing how a set of wheels changes the whole look. ????

I think it’s probably the best body style vette ever

Im inclined to concur.

Is this where I say I prefer the 68-72 cars?

Don't get me wrong. The mid-years are gorgeous, but they are not exactly comfortable to drive for someone that is 6 ft tall

I would agree with you but it's damn close. Any vette up until the C5 was pretty cramped though.

These stupid racing seats kind of make it a little bit easier, but in 66 the steering wheel was the size of a semi truck rim lol.

And my dumbass put the stock wheel back on because it looks better than the build specialties one ha.

Now I got to squeeze my thigh past the bottom side of the steering wheel to get seated

The 80s god were looking after me .

Got a full set of 255/60/15 BFGs for the Vette off marketplace for a total of $120. Lol

Dropped the Daisy's and the BFGs off at discount tonight for a negotiated price of $80 cash... Lol

I can't wait for tomorrow when they're done.

Uhh, maybe I missed it, but that looks like a K2UX.

When did you pick up this Escalade?

This is just my dad's, he picked it up like a year ago I think with a questionable transmission but we fix it with valve body service and shit.

It's a 2015 that I "leveled" the rear of. Meaning I got rid of that horrible fender gap.
