I thought you were! Did you ever get your missfire/etc figured out?

EZach: EDIT: I found your website and reading thrugh it. Should have more room inside since you can position the block not so far under the dash... Will be interesting to see how the front and rear ends get built up to handle the torque.
Yeah, I've made a bit more progress but it's still the back burner project.  

I just ordered about 800 dollars worth of Samurai stuff this week. Brake lines, underdrive pulleys, adjustable cam pulley, breather adapter, and my Super Swampers.  

Just trying to work on one thing at a time.  As soon as it's done I'll start stepping up investment into the Beretta project.  Starting a new job tomorrow so that'll help since nothing is cheap these days.

Sorry about the delay.  I would have had it running by now but I got side tracked.

To add to the latest project I am moving so the Beretta is on indefinite hold.  

But I'll be back!!!!

What did you buy another corvette? Going to fix that up and have another toy? Well the insurance will be higher than the beretta but probably easier to build to completion! BTW nice looking vette. I'd do something like that if it were not for insurance. Finish one thing at a time!!!  

[Norm 88GT]

Actually compared to my previous late model cars, if I had just carried liability, were cheaper than the Beretta.  ;)

i pay $511 /6 month policy on my first beretta, i just added the second beretta since i got it running again and they only charged me $25 to add it so im not sure how much it will be for the both, and now i have yet another beretta to add that i just aquired

I just wanna see the beretta done, screw the vette.

[mcgavinz26]

Yeah, vettes are everywhere around here.  I like them, but I'd rather see the beretta done.

I gotta say, after reading this whole thread from page one, kinda bummed that another vette jumps in priority over such a KICKASS conversion.
I look forward to seeing it get finished.

I do know the holdups that moving causes... my garage has been comandeered for storage, and I can only get to one side of my fab bench.
GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

dam mich must have been eye sore.. i bet you got very excited just to be let down  

[Decipha]

i want a RWD beretta so bad... does anybody know if an s10 will work? is there any way i can just mount the beretta body on the s10 frame???

[zach82]

I think the only way you'd know is by taking some measurements, but even if it is close you'd probably have to do a ton of fabbing to make it fit properly.

Hi Norm  I've been kinda following you build up here. I'd love to have you bring it by when its done for a dyno session. Maybe even a tune. But I think you'd be interested in seeing the build I've been doing as well. I have a 89 Z24 thats being fitted with an LS1 motor that I plan on a turbo and about 700rwhp if all goes well. If you wanna check it out let me know.

I'm just waiting for Norm to get off his *** and make it run...  Where did he go?  Must have purchased another car.
