88 Corvette Engine Removal | Full Octane Garage

88 Corvette Engine Removal

February 28, 2016 1957 GMC Project LS-Z57, Banner

We made more progress on tearing down the 88 Corvette donor car.

This top was cut off and sold yesterday and this was the progression of the engine removal today. The engine is finally out. Thanks to my friend Allen Pezo for some needed help!
