my camaro is a chain conversion
i also believe GM engineering should be left alone
benefits of chain ALL aftermarket engine bits (headers etc) can be ordered direct from usa and will bolt up with no mods
i have had a friend from usa drive my car and it (according to him ) feels no different to drive than his usa lhd camaro
that being said doesnt matter what conversion you have IF it was done correctly it should be ok
and yes i have seen cars converted both ways that could be better done with a bottle of scotch and an air chisel

I have yet to buy my corvette, unless it has a mirror conversion I won't be looking at it. There's a guy in QLD selling a 87 for $23,500 I rang him it has a chain and linkage. So I said "sorry"

Yes, good question that . . . why??
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and everyone is entitled to make their own decisions, especially when it is their own money they are spending. However, I would be interested in hearing some of the reasons you arrived at that decision.
IMHO, a mirror-image job could be better in some ways than a linkage/chain if done well, but I think there is more room for disaster if it is done badly. That is, a bad mirror-image job could be a lot worse than a bad linkage/chain job. I'm open to be told otherwise.
I believe that with a mirror-image job that a lot of parts have to be either fabricated or sourced from non-Corvette vehicles. If you buy a mirrored vehicle or have the job done, try to find out exactly where most of those parts came from, because if you ever need to replace some, sourcing an unknown part from an unknown vehicle could be a absolute nightmare.
I would still like to hear more on this, especially some specific pros and cons. Preferrably not hear-say.
