World's 1st Manual C8 Corvette Drift Car - SEMA Show Debut & Final Engine Assembly - Ep. 37

For those that have been following the build series, you are about 1-2 weeks behind what's happening in real-time. Tomorrow, Tuesday 11/5 at 10am, I'll get to officially debut the C8 Corvette at the SEMA Show in the Borla Performance booth (Central Hall - Booth 22965). If you're here in Las Vegas for the show, be sure to come by and check it out!

In this episode, Alec gets the hood and trunk latches installed, which are the same ones we use on my Formula Drift C6 Corvette. Then we got the AiM shock potentiometer's mounted. These will measure any linear motion including shock and suspension travel, ride height, or throttle position.

Lastly, it's time to pull the mock up engine out of the car and get the new one fully assembled at Gromm Racing, so that we can get it on the engine dyno!

Big thanks to everyone for following along as my team and I transform this flood damaged C8 Corvette into a full Formula Drift spec drift car!
