This deep blue 1977 Chevrolet Corvette is in for a new driveline including an LS3 V8, a Tremec TKX 5-Speed manual transmission, and more. These Corvettes look cool and handle well, but the often anaemic, low-compression “smog motors” from the mid 1970s leave much to be desired in the performance department. The Chevrolet Performance LS3 430 HP crate engine will fix all that, and the Tremec TKX is designed for high RPM shifting. It’s going to be a lot more fun when it’s finished!

This bright red 1967 Chevrolet Camaro is seeking additional power and road holding performance, and that’s exactly what it’s going ot get at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop! Power will come from a modern LS engine, and the “road holding” performance will be courtesy of a Roadster Shop Spec Chassis. It’s going to retain the classic look with a whole new personality!
This beautiful Hugger Orange 1969 Chevrolet Corvette came to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop barely breathing through the old carburetor and slipping gears with a slushy automatic transmission. The owner wants more, and we don’t blame him. The fix is in the form of a Holley Terminator X EFI system and a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission.
A cranberry red Chevelle convertible is always a good thing, and when powered by a fuel injected big block Chevy, it just gets sweeter. This one came to visit the V8 Speed and Resto Shop recently for some upgrades and maintenance, including Wilwood disc brakes and a Holley Terminator EFI system.
This awesome 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk concept features a lowered stance on a performance chassis, modern supercharged power (an homage to the belt-driven supercharged V8 available when it was new), plus-sized Halibrand-style wheels, and a great retro-themed color scheme. Look closely at the gold in the fins… there’s a lot going on in there! This project, penned by designer Murray Komant, is one of many ideas brewing at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop. What’s on your mind? Maybe we can get Murray to visualize it, and the V8 Crew can build it!
