Well, the C5Z might be going into the shop this upcoming week. Or perhaps not until the weekend when the show will be at XtremeMotorSports' place anyway. Depends on when Chris thinks he can actually get started on it.

Methinks that you guys should disable everything except 1st, 2nd, and reverse for the break in,
and reset the rev limiter to 3500. Otherwise Rich might have to make a decision on whether to
pay YOU, or the FINES and TICKETS!
You might come in second on that choice.........

I suspect the new motor will be sitting in the shop during the Blountstown show next weekend. It's expected sometime later next week. Keli couldn't get pictures because it didn't get delivered as early as we had hoped. I think there was a delay in getting the new rocker arms or something.

Well the motor should ship out Monday/Tuesday making it about Thurs or Fri for us to receive it.

Well, we'll be taking the C5Z to the Blountstown car show on 10/10 and leaving it there for the drivetrain replacement. Chris says it will take from 7 to 10 days to complete. When that is done, we'll then be taking over Connie's Silverado to have that LS6 transplanted into it. She's probably going to have the only pickup truck with a Corvette motor around here.... Any bets on who gets the first speeding ticket?

Here's a few pics that Keli passed on to me via email. I had to cut them down to size so they could be displayed here.

Rats... Just got word that the motor won't be at Chris's place until maybe Tuesday. So it won't be at the Blountstown show for me to oogle over the whole day. Also looks like a pretty slim chance this will all be done in time for me to be driving the C5Z to St. Augustine on the 20th to meet up with some folks here.
