C3 Corvette: How to Build & Modify 1968–1982 by Chris Petris Pdf

The C3 Corvette’s swooping fenders and unmistakable body style capture the imagination and make it an enduring classic. About a half-million Corvettes were sold between 1968 and 1982, and the unique combination of Shark style, handling, and V-8 performance is revered. Some early C3s, built between 1968 and 1974, are simply too rare and valuable to be modified, particularly the big-block cars. The later Corvettes, built from 1975 to 1982, came with low-compression engines that produced anemic performance. The vast majority of these Corvettes are affordable, plentiful, and the ideal platform for a high-performance build. Corvette expert, high-performance shop owner, and builder Chris Petris shows how to transform a mundane C3 into an outstanding high-performance car. Stock Corvettes of this generation carry antiquated brakes, steering, suspension, and anemic V-8 engines with 165 to 220 hp. He covers the installation of top-quality aftermarket suspension components, LS crate engines, big brakes, frame upgrades, and improved driveline parts. The book also includes popular upgrades to every component group, including engine, transmission, differential, suspension, steering, chassis, electrical system, interior, tires, wheels, and more. Whether you are mildly modifying your Corvette for greater comfort and driveability or substantially modifying it for vastly improved acceleration, braking, and handling, this book has insightful instruction to help you reach your goals. No other book provides as many popular how-to projects to comprehensively transform the C3 Corvette into a 21st-century sports car.

Chevrolet Corvette, 1968-1982 by Thomas Falconer Pdf

Top marque authorities present affordably priced and comprehensive model histories featuring specially commissioned color photography, driving impressions, full specifications, chassis and engine numbers, and bodywork changes. With a double die-molded fiberglass body mounted atop a heavy chassis with independent suspension and the world's most powerful push rod V8, the 1968 to 1982 Corvettes were constantly challenged by increasingly stringent fuel emission regulations. General Motors turned this to their advantage by civilizing the C3 and creating sophisticated grand tourers for a market twice the size of the sports car market. The car went on to enjoy broader appeal than perhaps even the Ford Mustang.

Corvette Parts Interchange Manual, 1968-1982 by Paul A. Herd Pdf

Corvettes built from 1968 through 1982 are somewhat unique collector cars for two reasons: 1) They can be purchased at relatively reasonable prices and 2) Their owners tend to be less concerned about absolute authenticity than other car collectors. This interchange manual advises owners of Corvettes from these model years as to which parts can be swapped across model years, as well as which parts from other Chevrolets can be used in their cars. An ideal, all-inclusive reference for owners who want to modify their cars at a nominal cost while expanding their modification options.
