It'* got an 1984 L83 corvette motor mated to a 700R4 trans, and a ford 9" rear...I got to do the dash wiring and running of body wires and the cooling system...talk about a learning experience.

And that learning experience will never stop. You guys did a great job on that classic! Barrett could learn something from this.

its a lot of fun....especially when the instructor does a wheel stand in the shop...lol

I did 2 years of Automotive Technology in high school, but we never did anything like that. We got to work on teachers cars, but we got paid donuts for it.

It'* nice the instructor put a project like that together. It gives students a drive, besides the usual books and class work.

well this is an auto-tech school...I'm also doing auto body and diesel tech, too...I think we're the only school in the State of Nebraska that does something like this....next years raffle car is a orange 1972 Chevy El Camino with a 468 and has been bagged on all 4 corners, we're actually almost done with that one too.

"Using only 4 words, describe basic turbine engine theory".

That was the first question our instructor asked us in turbine engine school for the Army.

dang...that would suck if you didn't know anything going in...lol

Yea, we were all dumbstuck after that question. But once he said those 4 words, we were like, DUH!

suck, squeeze, bang, blow. In a turbine engine, its a continuous cycle. The same question applies to normal gasoline engines, except, its a 4 cycle process.

That makes sense...lol. We're just finishing up electrical this week, and then we're going on to engine building. I'm looking forward to that, but I wish I had enough money to build a motor for my Bonnie. I get to build a sport mod motor instead so not complaining too much...lol
