I met a guy who has an 87 C4 with a 383 stroker, car was running 13's they say. The guage cluster was not working and a young guy was racing the car around town. Blew head gasket, they did chemical test and has exhaust in coolant, the chemical turned from blue to yellow. Now, it is an L98, with the stroker kit and stock aluminum heads, I will find out tomorrow if they were ported, the cam is pretty big, but works with stock ecm/with chip. I will get the whole rundown tomorrow. They would be willing to trade for my 84 crossfire car. I know an 87 will be far easier to work with than a crossfire car as far as mods go, this seems like a really good chance for me. I know I'll need to have the heads pressure tested, maybe surfaced, but is there anything I need to know unique to an L98 setup that I should consider here? I know I can do a head gasket job no problem, but is there anything I need to know here? I also don't know if I'll have to release pressure from fuel system to correctly remove tpi setup, I want to do it right. I know for sure it was a running car and very fast. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
