Help finding an old Lingenfelter magazine article

[VintageMusclecar]

Back in the late `80's or early `90's one of the 3 big magazines ran an article where John Lingenfelter (God rest his soul) took a crate LS-7 454 and did his magic with it. Does anyone here remember that article or perhaps have access to it? I would really like to get my hands on a copy if possible. I've searched the big 3 magazine websites and the Lingenfelter website to no avail.

Help? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

And after we find that I would love to find the 1998 C&D artical that features the '99 hugger orange SS.

Eric - try E-bay. I came close there and have not given up hope that I will find it there....one day.

Ray;

I've been looking on eBay as well, no luck yet there either.

What month of `98 C&D is the Camaro artcile in? I just checked eBay and every month except June is available, but I didn't see anything about a Hugger Orange Camaro.

Where's Bob Ashton? He *may* be able to help! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I think I may have figured out what magazine it was in...posibly the December 1989 issue of "Corvette Fever", in an article titled "blueprint for power."

Couldn't find the issue on eBay, but that title rings a bell.

I don't know what month it's in but it had to be '98. I saved the mag but can't find it now. I may have to buy them all to find it!

Now that's a great article. I've bet I've read that about 50 times. It was in Car Craft magazine in the eighties and it was actually reprinted in one of the big block engines compilation books that you find at Borders or Barnes & Noble recently. I'll look for it but I still have so much stuff still boxed up from my recent move. I do remember that they installed that Comp Cam 305H camshaft, lowered the compression and put an epoxied-up Holley Strip Dominator manifold on top. Great article and I'll do some digging tonight.

One of the other all-time great write ups to me was the mid 60s C&D Hemi Coronet article. I remember the author drove from C&D to LA and cruised that famous strip....can't remember the name of the street now. He shocked quite a few hot rodders. I read that story until the pages were rat eared. Now Arias is making a Chevy hemi head so my dreams of owning a hemi may come true!!

OK, found out that's not the aticle I'm looking for, so the magazine and article title are still a mystery.

The search continues...does anyone remember the name of this article and what magazine it was published in? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Thanks.

Why don't you read my post again. It was Car Craft. That article was responsible for several friend buying LS-7's immediately afterwards.

I did read your post Mark.

I looked on the Lingenfelter website magazine article directory (http://www.lingenfelter.com/press_1993.htm) and saw no mention of the article listed under "Car Craft" on that page. Covering the 1980's, I saw an article written in 1984 about mail order SBC's, and an article written in 1986 about a 496 build, but nothing about the LS7 build, nor any sign of the article in question listed in the rest of their listed publications dating all the way up to 2002, which is why I inquired a 2nd time.

Naturally I assumed that the list of magazine articles listed on the Lingenfelter website would've been an exhaustive list, but apparently not. Silly me. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

If you can come up with the name of the article, or better yet the year and month of the Car Craft issue it was published in, that would be great.

Will check tonight, as I do have multiple copies of each and every 80's vintage issue of CC.

ERIC; will you be at SCR10? I am leaving this evening and will be at the gates when they swing open.

Bob;

Unfortunately, no, I won't be able to attend the reunion---family issues prevent any chance of travel for me in the forseeable future.

I really appreciate your help, let me know if you happen to find the article.
