Not so with this car. The enitre frame off build and modification of this car was documented by Super Chevy Magazine in 6 consecutive issues. The Build was done by Guldstrand Engineering in Culver City California. Dick Guldstrand and his team were some of the most respected Corvette racers and builders of all time. This car was named the Fiberglass Flyer by Super Chevy magazine and the purpose of the build was to build a C2 Corvette that performed and handled as good or better than a contemporary C4 Corvette as this build was done in early 1991. For the engine a LS7 454 long block motor was selected. Compression was lowered to 9.25:1 with Speed - Pro pistons and .040 head gaskets. A crane Cam with a longer exhaust duration was used, and a Crane True Roller timing chain was selected. A Weiand Team - G dual plane intake mainfold along with a Holley 750 CFM 8156 carburetor was chosen to get the fuel into the ported open chamber cylinder heads. The original distributor was converted with electronic components and a hidden control module box. The suspension system, both front and rear, were rebuilt. New front coil springs, with one coil cut off, were installed.
