welcome to wacky Wednesday's where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods and here's this week's winner
this is my pride and joy I bought this in June 2015 so four years
ago I was absolute happy that I got this car, I just wanted to get a Corvette
purely because they were beautiful I was very lucky that I got the 85 which is
the 85 was the first to fuel port injected, the 1984 was a crossfire and apparently
had some issues the car had some issues so I missed a bullet there,
so there's a lot of TLC maintenance that occurred over there two three years,
early last year 2018 a friend of mine planted the seed of putting a 383 stroker
in there and I thought what the heck why not, so I gave her the go we built a
completely separate engine all on the side while these stock engine stayed in
the car running and by the end of 2018 we're done and it ran, the paint is
original that's a 34 year old paint and look at that for 1985 look how stylish
that shape is, very timeless even in 2019 gets a lot of head turns and
competes with a lot of modern cars, both in looks and performance, so these cars
really I feel are undervalued and underdogs when it comes to history of
sports cars particularly for the 80s this decal is a bit of a sleeper, this
cars actually 6.2 liters now being a 383 stroker, there's the 93 saw blades about the only
modification I've done to the body the pop-up lights rotate 160
the rear hatch has plenty of room whether it's grocery
or golf clubs plenty of room in the back which is quite convenient for a
two-seat sports car, I'm very lucky to have the red interior most black
Corvettes came in gray or black, there's the 303 stroker new
LTE air box, got a massive K&N filter, up in the grill and you definitely feel
the impact of it with higher rpms, the air flow does feel a lot more streamlined
though this is the airbox, there's the pacemaker extractors
there's the interior all original, beautiful shape look at that
1985, there's the manual pedals 4+3 gearbox, pretty cool cluster
electrical.
allows you to switch between oil pressure to oil temperature coolant
temperature to battery voltage in the top right hand corner, the bottom you got
the trip, odometer, and then the range for the fuel, and the bottom right hand
corner is the instant fuel, at the switch of a button you can change
between miles and kilometers, well I'm sure you want to hear it by now
I've done enough talking so, it's the extractors and mufflers and
the com cam it's got power all the way up to six and a half rpm
when the rev limiter kicks in, here we go about to go in the freeway
let it rumble for a bit I'm not gonna go too crazy on the first and
second, that was the fourth gear, and the responsiveness it's just beautiful,
you don't have to build it up or hit a certain rpm to feel the peak power kick in
it's just there no matter what rpm range your in, I'm in third now
and watch this torque next to the truck next to me
now all car lovers have their preferred models, when it comes to new corvettes I'm
pretty sure all Corvette owners from c1 to c8 would agree that there's one
cool feature about the c4 that no other corvette has, and that's the body
as you see the whole hood comes out gives it great access and visibility to work
on your tires, aluminum arms, suspension, steering you need a step inside and
reduce your stress on your lower back when you go to work on the engine, and it's
all there, accessibility is very simple easy to get to, look at that
how many Corvette owners can do this, beautiful view of the engine and all
thanks to this hood design, for 1985 this car also has powered windows, mirrors
digital dash, cruise control, Bose radio great surround, also has the
auxilary cable so you can plug it into your smartphone and play your music and
it even features a safety airbag for the 80s got your sponge Corvette cushion, one
of the many cool features in this car that makes very unique is
the fuel cap location, back up to the service station it's doesn't matter which side
the cap is on, which is right in the middle and the best part about it is that
GM provides a location for your cap so you don't touch the paint,
all right what we have here is the late eighties roller block, it's a four main
block with a 303 stroker obviously a 303 is a 400 crank you
know 350 chevy, powered by a 280 x-fi comp cam, 195 CC heads, tpis mini ram
and a ecu with maf delete, also upgraded the intake
to a 90's LT 1 LT 4 and LT 5 air box for a bigger surface area for greater flow
and more streamlined flow into the manifold, making sure there's no
compromise to flow and efficiency this engine output is 480 brake horsepower
and 460 foot pounds of torque, which for a natural aspirated engine and eighties
technology is quite impressive, and this is it ladies and gentlemen for today,
before I conclude I would like to thank you again Scotty kilmer for allowing me the
opportunity to feature this car on your channel, I hope you enjoy the
content as much as I did making this video, anyone interested in this motor
build I will leave a description below its hashtag suave 85 stroker built on my
Instagram channel there's over two hours of documentation from buying the block to
pretty much doing the swap and dynoing the engine, so great content all done
from this garage, if you are a regular motor enthusiast and looking to build your
own engine, I hope this can give you some inspiration
in doing it right, thank you and goodbye, well that was this
week's video and to have your car mod shown on my channel here check this out
