82 and 84 vettes just need a good owner

ive owned an 84 vette for 8 years,never had any problems.Bought the car from the first buyer,according to car fax.Car fax even had record that I failed my 4yr emission test!wow.I started a huge research that was a lot of fun before I restored my vette.If anyone needs help as far as crossfire help,im here and can possibly save you some troubles.i never thought my vette could ever be so fast and hold it.Ive spent a lot but in the normal scope of hottrodding.7747,aluminum heads,dart block,cola crank,ross pistons,crower cam,roller lifters and still run the crossfire injection,davis ignition,scorpion roller rockers 1.7s I have a lot of trust in scorpion products.if you wanna slam the crossfires ,yeah it takes a real gear head to build one to run,but it takes aptitude to build one to stay together.

I'm kinda' sorry I sold mine a few years ago. It was all stock except for exhaust but I had it tuned right. It was reliable, got good MPG, and was a decent runner in its day. Power didn't compare to the newer LT engines or the modern Z06's, facts which make it a good target for Crossfire bashers. I think the '84 Corvette was Motor Trend's Car of the Year.
