That is what I had been thinking, but thought that there could be other options to consider before just going all "new school" corvette on my vette. The wife asks why I just don't buy a newer C5 or C6 vette if all I want is a modern engine. If I am not going old school or different, then that is probably what I will do then.

I've considered the LSx C3 conversion, there are a few out there: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-tech-performance/2226401-c3-lsx-conversion-directory.html I should have clarified, the 351M is more for the conversion of one of my wagons, than the vette. Although, I think that I would prefer the cummins over the 351M.

I might go that route, although the tires are a little smallish for my tastes...

Now that is a different option worth researching. What's that based on? Do you know of any builds?

Which intake and carb combo?

A C3 LSx conversion is an option. I have seen a few of those.

Because you all are smart... LOL, that part of the sig is a joke on the first half about not be judgmental...

http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m509/Boydness/Corvette_001-1.jpg I am soliciting re-powering suggestions for my vette. I've missed the last several years of advancements, so I am open to considering any options. I will use the suggestions to start researching the option. Requirements: She should be respectable at the track and presentable on the street. Preferably, capable of driving herself to another state. I am willing to reshape the floor and firewall to accommodate. I was even thinking about a "Mighty Mouse" 305 setup, like the Malibu: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1494 I like the thought of a 20+ mpg vette. Maybe something utilizing MegaSquirt or otherwise non-carb. Throwing me some options and maybe a guesstimate on expense. I am thinking that I might use one of the set-ups for one of my wagons. Incidentally, if someone has a Ford 351M suggestion, I would especially like to hear it. I have a neighbor working to convince me that it is a great powerplant. :zoom:

Sorry Mike, I updated my post, I have plenty of steelies, I am looking for lighter weight and doing away with the hubs caps.

If the bent rims was in a different position prior to tire rotation, it is possible that you did not experience any symptoms until that rim was rotated into that position. Depending on the oscillation of the rim, if could affect the braking, it would be putting stress on all the components of the assembly by being out-of-round.

Want to buy: 4-lug rims, pattern 4x4.5 / 4X114.3 13-15" rims, with or without tires Non-steelies. For a Suzuki Swift. PM if you need my cell number to txt pics.

Want to buy: 700R4 4x4 transmission Thinking about converting one of my Wagons to auto 4x4, anyone happen to have one, non-electronically controlled preferably. Rebuilt or non-rebuilt, either way. Might consider other options, if someone is looking to make a good deal. Even if not for sale, I would still like to find a core that I used for mock-up purposes, if someone has one to loan. :thumbup:

Was that happening before the last time you rotated your tires? Have you checked if that rim might be bent? The oscillation varies due to spend and 60MPH is probably where you would see the most pronounced symptoms of a bent rim.

Maybe replacement marker lights like these: http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Lights/Optronics/MCL19AB.html?feed=npn I figure there is not much behind the assembly (as there is no protruding bulb to the rear), I just relocate/extend the wiring from the original markers to the new slightly lower position.

Thank you, it was as you stated, I found the instructions for the Hella Optilux 2020 that I ordered. It said that the should be as far a part I can get them, I was going to install them in the "mouth" of the bumper. Do you think that would be too close together? And maybe even way too low? I mounted the last set there on the other vehicle, but it really did not improve the visibility that much. I just figured that they were just cheap quality and that was the problem. The headlights sit immediately on top of the bumper. Now I am considering that I mount them in the front marker/blinker locations and mount an alternate marker/blinker (maybe LED) just under there.
