Blue
Lightning from Sweden
Club
Corvette Sweden member Thomas Kindberg owns "Blue Lightning," a
1971 coupe with a recently overhauled LS5 engine. "Its got new
parts from the radiator to the gearbox," Thomas says, "including
an LS6 cam, solid lifters, forged pistons, and steel rods. Every part except
the block, crank, and heads is new." Thomas also reworked the interior
and undercarriage during the cold Swedish winter last year. Options include
power steering and brakes, tilt-telescopic steering wheel, air conditioning,
and luggage rack. "Now shes a real nice driver," Thomas says.
"She pulls strongly from idle to 6,000 rpm."
