  1. Rear bumper is incorrect. Are you sure that is a 74? looks like a 75.

  2. Not true at all. The 1974 had almost 300hp and a whopping 400 ft lbs all motor. Compare that to the new 2022 C8 corvette which has 465 ft lbs. Admittedly the new stingray has way more HP/Top speed. The 74 top speed is around 145 and the new one around 200. But still . 0-120mph the old will give the new a run for its money up to those speeds which is where all the fun is!! With some super easy affordable mods, the 74 can make an easy 500 ft lbs or more at the rear wheels. Easy!! and the old Stingrays can be fixed with kitchen tools, the new ones.. Well.. Not so much.

  3.  @burningblue1254  I have a 74 LS4. It runs 12's at 110mph at Bandimere which is 6000ft. All motor. So do the math. The 2022 Vettes will also run 12's at the same Term V all motor. Keep in mind that racers equate Bandimere at 9000 ft due to lack of humidity which is at times single digits. Normally this is not a factor anywhere else in the world as they have double digit values. At any rate, those are real numbers at the track here in the high country. Big Blocks still rule. Axiomatic.

  4.  @burningblue1254  Never said mine was stock. It has TRW pistons 10.25:1 compression, Mild Cam, Stock heads flowed with stainless steel valves with a 3 angle grind, and points replaced with Pertronix. HP is just shy of 300 at the rear wheels but it makes over 500 ft lbs at the wheels. More torque than any of these new C8 vettes. I suppose you could toss one of them off a cliff and it would be as fast. Also. My motor was built NOS ready. Never had to install it as the car is fast enough. Although some of these new cars are really fast. But.. IF they can out pull me on the street, I let them go as it gets dangerous fast. So... Just let them go.. At any rate. MY engine is original matching numbers. The car is all original except for some of the motor internals as described above. It is super easy to make a Chevy Big Block make big power. Inexpensive too comparatively. Also my car is the rare munci 4 spd CR. I have found that only two WR's were made. Only around 1500 or so Big Blocks were made if my memory serves me. Most were automatics.. Gag me with a spoon. 52 or 54 were manuals. Rare indeed. Remember. Big Blocks Rule!!
