C2 Corvette with a 660 hp 427 ci V8

This 1963 Corvette called “Solar Flare” was built by Muscle Cars By Bob in Ohio. The classic sports car is powered by a 427 ci (7.0L) LSx V8 built by Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center (SDPC). The motor starts with a RHS aluminum block and adds Callies Compstar crank, Callies Ultra H-beam rods, Wiseco 11.3:1 compression pistons, SDPC custom camshaft, and Dailey Engineering 3-stage dry sump. On tops sits PRC 285 cc LS7 heads with titanium intake valves, stainless steel exhaust valves, PAC dual valve springs, 103 mm throttle body, and 700 cc injectors. The combination produces 660 hp (485 kW) and 596 lb-ft (808 Nm) of torque. An Ace Track King twin-disc clutch transmits that power to a Bowler Stage 2 T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission and GearFX Hammerhead independent rear end housing a Truetrac limited-slip differential with a 3.55 ratio. The car’s factory frame is upgraded with Detroit Speed SpeedRay front suspension and DecaLink rear suspension. Bumps are handled by Viking double-adjustable shocks with Hyperco springs while stopping is achieved by Baer six-piston brakes with a Bosch ABS M5 Clubsport system. The aggressive look is achieved through a modified fiberglass body with a carbon fiber roof and custom hood. A set of custom wheel arches cover Forgeline 18×11.5-inch wheels wearing Nanking CR-1 tires. You can view more photos and specs on this unique Corvette at Bring a Trailer.
