There is actually more.
So i hook up this crazy huge 45ft trailer gooseneck to my teenie 2000 dodge 2500 manual with a dana 80 and being that i had never hauled a gooseneck and was just learning on the fly, i get her all the way home, turn in my circle, jacknife, blow my rear window out. It...
I guess there is more to update.
A deal came up on an 85 for my neighbours kid in Seattle. Neither the Z or the 85 4+3 runs.
So i bought a 45 foot 18000 lbs trailer, used, that will hold both cars, and i’ll be heading down through spokane first to portland, where the Z is currently parked in...
Haha.
The OP is quite experienced and knew what he was getting into.
I believe this is his 9th C4 “rescue” and Im quite sure he has a spare LT5 in his garage.

But seriously, happy to share an update.
Chumpvette and I (A cf member friend) took the heads off, they had both been refreshed...

Chumps grinding it out without me
Sitting in Vancouver waiting to board to Portland…i get this pic. Meanwhile Chump is sleuthing the local yard….
truth is, 90z #2610 was pretty much headed this direction!
Those are both great suggestions.
So Air Canada cancelled my flight. Postponed till 2pm. That means Chump and I will miss the opportunity to visit a local boneyard (not open weekends) for some of the non LT5 stuff thats missing like shrouds etc.
Oh well im sure this will take a couple trips...
Just……can’t……stop!!!!
2:56pm Feb 5 2024: Received email from Forum Friend @Blue Bucket List (who i met on my 89 fly and drive field rescue!) with a link to a black 90 ZR-1 #2610, located in Redmond WA, with an asking price of $7500 usd.
