@xarrow81 Thanks. As if now, about 20k.

@safwanulferdous916 Contact me on my Instagram for more info @LTPower95 I can help get you the part numbers and tips on how to install this kit.

@_Gustav027_ I find many threads where lots of peeps give up on installing some of these parts. They go back to stock. But ehh, for me the main problem was just cutting up a bunch of clevis pins to use as a spacer for the master. Even if it's a centimeter off 🤏🏻 yea, it's not gonna work.

@ViralStacking The wheels were planned to stay at a certain size for a while. They are 11x19 +45 305/30 and 9x19 +39 245/35 for now.

I had to increase the diameter for the bolt holes on the flange, for each header. I used a Milwaukee step drill to elongate the opening, like an oval. Other than that, it's pretty bolt on. But installing whatever else catback system after is another story. I would go American Racing Headers.

I had these speced up to 9x19 11x19 for now.

That's exciting! Follow my Insta LTPower95 to see more stuff you might like.

Yep, in another video, I talk about it

At this rpm, no need for an upgraded bottom end. I would just install arp studs for the mains for a cam this big or a lil bigger. The trans could use some work though. But it's running good for now.

@@VetteWerks Good call on the trans.

Turns out it is the tuning. Shift points are off

@@VetteWerks OK. My vette has a shift kit. I like it. There are always options, different gears, programming the PCM or a valve body kit.

The small other smaller rear caliper is the eBrake. Pretty cool

@@VetteWerks OK. Cool. A little different, but I like them.

The C4 has some of the most beautiful curves!

It's not like it's bagged; lip to fender low. Even I'm not a big fan of that look. So I don't understand the hate. It also drives just fine out on the road. Thanks!

What? No way... that's probably not a cheap part to replace

@@VetteWerks yeah 👍 I believe the glass then and possibly now is multi layered right... laminate..there is plastic in the middle and that's likely what was damaged by UV 🌞 old dude had one for $50 20 miles from me but had defogger lines 😢 Used are pretty cheap actually $50-$200 on average

I do. I've driven 400 miles straight like this

Yep, you are right! I went to my local auto parts store, and all they had was the LT1 gasket. Since most peeps don't have an LT4, i thought ehh, this is okay to post. In hindsight, I should have mentioned that i was using the LT1 version on the LT4 heads. The only thing you need to do is cut the tabs, and the gasket will fit right in. Also with a little bit of gasket maker behind the gaskets, and it will stay in place. I made sure there was absolutely no interference with the airflow from the heads and manifold. It fits in just fine. Otherwise, I would not have used them 👍🏻 good eye.

I'm no engine builder like you are 😌 but I made sure there was no interference 👍🏻

That makes good sense. Thanks for the reply. It is always good to hear new options for parts. a little extra trimming and some RTV did the trick then.

@EllweinEngines Yep, If I can remember... Hmm, I may have massaged the edges a bit, very little work at all. But I do remember setting them up in place. I was a bit surprised at how well they fit. But same with me here. every little bit adds up, and I'd just hate to cause some kind of power restriction.

Not yet, the few potential buyers are always asking for more time, but it's been awhile since I heard back.

It's a '95

What you say is true about the c4 platform. If you're going to start with a pretty cool build, i would like to see its progress. Do you have an Instagram? I never finished my vette, I'm moving into my dream car the C4 ZR1 and finishing my ultimate build on that instead.

@@VetteWerks I think the ZR1 is an amazing restomod project. I had considered it when I bought mine about 8 years ago. The cost of building and modifying the LT5 is considerable and rather put me off. I’ve considered an approximate build cost of $25k, including ~500hp, so the LT5 would take quite a bite out of that. I don’t have much of a social media presence, but my nephew has tried to convince me it may be worthwhile to document. Others in my local Corvette community, especially the C4 fans, also like the idea. I may do this, although I’m a private person, I have always valued the camaraderie of fellow “car guys”, particularly Corvette (C4)enthusiasts. I would hope to get things rolling later this year. Would love to see what you get up to with the Z. I think the C4 is finally getting some respect, beyond just “kids” straight piping and beating the shit out of them, so disappointing to see.

@BAndersen-ee1xy The C4 community on Instagram is 👍🏻 Hmm.. the cars consist of mostly stock folks or basic small budget modification 'builds'. There are a few strong builds and currently in the works builds as well. So far, I've never experienced any negativity on that platform. But the people like to see a progress page, just like yours would be if you decide on getting started. I suggest that you do for funzies. Yep, the LT5 would cost 4x to make the same power as an LT1/4. But that mighty engine can surpass them in power. My idea is about a 730hp +/- NA LT5, it'll cost me about 50k at least on engine alone. I have more ideas. Everything will be touched up, powdercoated, repaint, slight further widened rear fenders, full interior, custom wheels again, yada-yada-yada... everything. The Werx. It's a huge expensive project, but the Z is my dream car. So you can count on me to build something truly special. Or, one can dream, at least.

It's all good now 👌🏻

You can certainly create your own bag system. It will cost you quite a bit, not to mention trial and error. But for me, my vette is made to go, kill corners, and not for show. So I stick with coilovers.

These are Exotic Muscle headers, non-EGR and catless with full ceramic coating. The fitment was easy, sliding them on was easy. But I found that during the header install, only a couple of bolts would be much harder to feed in, one on each header in my case. I simply used a step drill bit to shave the hole to the side a bit more where I needed the space, as well as make space on the inside diameter just a tad, too. The only other problem from there would be fitting the headers to whatever exhaust system you use.

A double roller timing chain will not fit your timing chain cover, so you will need to trim the inner cover to clear, or convert to the '95-'96 cover, look up how to do that.. I suggest the cost efficient 'SA Gear Double Roller Timing Chain' kit. That kit would be much cheaper than the Cloyes LT4 heavy duty hardened timing chain, and almost just as strong. Get the Accel 30Lb Injectors #150830. Much nicer than the Bosch. Stockers are 24lb injectors.

CCW one-off's 😉

That was always in the works 👌🏻I don't go from a dig on it much, though.

I've heard of bad opti replacements for the early LT1, with even new ones not lasting more than a couple of weeks 😬 However, this is simply not true for the late LT1 style. Get yourself that vented conversion, and you won't have probs any longer! Thanks for watching my little repair series, I hope you enjoyed! 😉

@VetteWerks even the newer ones aren't immune to it! I was talking to a guy with a 95 C4 they are the vented pin drive and he said he went through 2 or 3 in a couple months, then got the petris and been running perfectly for 4 years now.

@sarahgarcia346 there are a couple of good Opti's out there but for sure there must be a lot of super cheap made ones. One thing that can be a cause for bad Opti's are the install. I forgot to mention it in the video, but we shouldn't press the Opti into the timing cover too hard, it should set in place easy. Try not to fight it. Wiggle it in.

@VetteWerks I'm not sure about the pin drive I don't have any experience changing one of those but on the spline drive if you line it up perfectly and and centered ( which is actually pretty hard to do) it'll slide right in with basically no resistance just have to be very patient with it and once I find it I slide it in and out just to be sure but it really can't go in wrong but I'm sure some people will get frustrated and try to just push it in.

@sarahgarcia346 That's exactly it, pressing it too much will damage them internally. And yes the dowl pin version does kind of wiggle in. It's easy to center it but it never wants to just slide in perfectly 😉

I agree. 🥺 and there's only so much I can do

@VetteWerks lol... did you get her running again?! No doubt the opti was probably bad and if it was the factory unit I hope you rebuilt it and not replaced it?!

@sarahgarcia346 The factory unit was trashed and wet all over. But I didn't throw it away. Yes the vette was fixed and runs very good now, no problems since. I did some cleaning up as you'll see on the other videos, it's a 4 part repair series.

@VetteWerks lol perhaps I should watch and find out for myself huh?!?! Sorry lol

I think it's just me, maybe it's a little OCD but it's worth it 😅 I would rather powdercoat in silver, even all the suspension and diff. Coming up.

Thanks for watching all my vids 🤜🏻

@@VetteWerks 🤛 thanks for posting them lots of great info. Well it’s the weekend off to my c4 project car. 🤙

Me too, I wanted him to finish it. But I was talking to a Callaway owner, I remember him saying he knows who the new owner is. It wouldn't be their first Callaway either, and I think it's being restored even further.

@@VetteWerks Oh that’s awesome. Would be fun to watch that process.

@efstorms Yes, but unfortunately, if I remember, I don't think my friend had their contact like Insta or Facebook (new owner) I mean, unless I ask him to try and get it, but nah 😅 he's in the Callaway circle.

I just wish I had better explained, and better recorded the actaul install on one of the later vidoes. It's a bit tricky to understand

@@VetteWerks just watched that video and ya I see what you are saying but I also feel like I get what you did there it’s almost like a manual nutsert.

@efstorms Yep, right on. You must use a wrench that hugs all corners of the nut, I suggest finding a larger diameter nut too, but not necessary. The best bearing to use is a proper diameter thrust bearing. It's much easier than the motorcycle wheel bearing I used. I'll make a new video when I can, with some links to even a pre cut 10 inch hardened threaded rod, and bearing.

Thanks. Yes I did end up replacing that hose. It is part number 152034 from Davies Corvette CorvetteParts.com It's a very snug fit.

@@VetteWerks Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll be ordering that little bad boy up and ya it looks like a bit of a battle to get back on. Thanks again for the info and videos, very helpful for a weekend warrior wrench.

Thanks! Are you asking if I have a '96 oil pan? No sorry, I don't have any spares.

A lot of work just to get one and get it on, all worth it 👌🏻✨️
