Classic Car Overview
1980 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale
Built 355ci Small Block 700R4 Overdrive Forged Internals Performance Built Street Corvette
This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette has been professionally upgraded with a meticulously built 355 cubic-inch Chevrolet Small Block V8, combining classic C3 styling with dependable street performance and modern drivability. Built using premium components throughout, this Corvette delivers outstanding horsepower, broad torque, and the reliability to be enjoyed on the street or highway.
Engine & Performance
Originally based on a Chevrolet L48 350, the engine has been professionally bored .030- inch over to create 355 cubic inches of displacement. The rotating assembly has been completely balanced and features a factory Chevrolet crankshaft machined .010/.010, Scat 5.700-inch forged steel connecting rods, TRW forged .030 forged flat-top pistons, and Speed Pro rings and bearings. Compression is a street-friendly 8.7:1, making it ideal for premium pump gas while leaving room for future performance upgrades if desired.
The bottom end is reinforced with an ARP main stud kit and utilizes a Cloyes double roller timing chain, Melling Z-28 high-volume/high-pressure oil pump, and Moroso 6-quart oil pan for exceptional durability and oil control.
Cylinder Heads & Valvetrain
The engine is topped with GM 76cc cast-iron cylinder heads featuring 1.94-inch intake valves, upgraded stainless steel valves, Comp Cams performance valve springs and retainers, roller rocker arms, and performance pushrods.
A Lunati hydraulic camshaft and lifter kit (Part #1012701) provides excellent street manners while delivering strong low- and mid-range torque. Camshaft specifications include:
213/219 duration at .050
.454/.468-inch valve lift
112 lobe separation angle
108 intake centerline
This combination produces excellent throttle response, smooth idle characteristics, and outstanding drivability.
Fuel, Ignition & Exhaust
Fuel delivery comes from a ProForm center-body 750 CFM Double Pumper Holley carburetor mounted on a ProForm aluminum performance intake manifold.
Ignition is handled by an HEI distributor upgraded with an MSD cap and rotor, along with premium ignition wires for dependable spark delivery.
The engine breathes through Hooker long-tube headers connected to a 21/2-inch dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, producing the unmistakable sound of a healthy small- block Chevrolet.
Transmission & Drivetrain
Backing the built 355 is a 700R4 four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, providing significantly improved highway cruising compared to the factory transmission.
The transmission has been upgraded with:
Pro Torque 2,100 RPM stall converter
Modified performance valve body for firm, positive shifts
G-Force transmission crossmember designed for dual-exhaust clearance
The overdrive transmission makes this Corvette equally enjoyable around town or on long highway trips while keeping engine RPM low at cruising speeds.
Summary
This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette offers the perfect blend of classic C3 styling and modern street performance. Its professionally built 355ci Small Block, forged rotating assembly, balanced bottom end, premium valvetrain components, Lunati camshaft, ProForm induction, Hooker headers, Flowmaster exhaust, and 700R4 overdrive transmission create a Corvette that is as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire.
Built with high-quality performance components throughout and designed with reliability in mind, this Corvette delivers strong performance, excellent drivability, and the unmistakable sound and feel of a properly built small-block Chevrolet. Whether youre looking for a weekend cruiser, local show car, or dependable classic to enjoy on long road trips, this Corvette is ready to impress.
