1981 C3 Corvette Blower Motor

[@brianwilson415]

Thank you for giving me the confidence to try on my 80.

You just saved my patootie sir! I couldn't remember for the life of me the orientation of the blower motor. Thanks for the video!

[@michaelroice]

That makes the whole video worth while.

[@PatrickGraysonDenmark]

Thanks for this! This is about exactly what I ran into with mine. Now I am ready to take it again!

[@michaelroice]

Awesome! If these videos help anyone then they are worth doing.

It is amazing how on the face of something,it can seem so simple. Once you are knee deep into it little issues completely complicate the process. Only tenacity will get you through it.

Working on this 42 year old car almost always has a cascade effect with related parts. My love of driving it is what gets me through the problems. I've got $22,000 invested in it. I can't imagine what I would have in it if I had to pay a garage to do it for me.

@@michaelroice Buddy, I'm in all the way and down with that. It is a noble undertaking. A promise to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse. This is the kind of commitment we must have. People may not understand but I think that you do.

Putting in a c4 fan made a huge difference in mine. I ordered a 1996 c4 motor and fan. 7/8” spacer I made out of pvc board from lowes and wired it in.

[@michaelroice]

That's what I've heard. I bought the c4 fan myself, just haven't gotten to making the spacer yet.

[@darktheist]

Any better performance over the stock blower motor?

[@michaelroice]

I was seriously hoping, but I was also seriously disappointed. I saw no improvement at all. I did purchase a larger fan from a newer model Corvette, but a spacer is needed behind the mounting bracket because the new fan is longer than the old one. It is supposed to provide more air flow, or so I've read. As of yet I have not installed it, I've been busy working out of town.
