Corvette C2, C3, C4, C5 or C6?

If you're talking C2 or C3 the front suspension really isn't anything to write home about and there are probably easier options that would provide at least as good ride and handling.

I'm guessing C4 is what you are considering using. The frame on those cars is made of formed stamped steel that could be difficult to adapt, and which will determine your track width maybe a little narrow for a COE.

If you are using parts form an automatic equiped C4 be aware they used the Dana 36 differential and its not real stout.

While these cars produce some incredible handlng numbers that are impressive even today they have a harsh ride and a significant contributor to the handling is that stiff ride and real low center of gravity. I drive a C4 almost every day. I love and enjoy the car but I'm not blind to its shortcomings.

If you are parting out a C5 or C6 I'd suggest even wrecked its probably worth enough to sell and use the procedes to buy parts that might better work under a COE. Also those later cars have a rear mounted transmission that complicates a project like this.

I'm a hot rodder myself and do not have any objection to this kind of project. I am having difficulty seeing a COE as a sports car. Can you tell more about your intended usage with this truck?

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
