Default Where do I buy a parts catalog ??

I am planning to buy a 90 or 91 to use for a road racing car. A Chevrolet parts catalog is really helpful for finding the best standard and optional hi performance parts for each year. The last time that I did this (in 88) I bought a used hardcopy of a parts book from a dealer. Now, they are all on the computer. Has anyone been able to purchase a CD of the Corvette parts book? Are there hard copies available?

GM still sells a softcover performance parts catalog - I think it's about $8 at the dealer. I picked one up last year, but it was WAY overkill for my street-legal vehicle.

Heh... ZZ3 crate motors... radical cams... overly-hard springs... that sort of thing. I've still got it if you want a look-see. There are some "normal" items in there, but most of its contents are geared (no pun...) toward the hard-core racer building a race motor.

Hey JonM ....thanks
I will try that download. It looks huge.
The first one said 10 minutes and I have DSL. That may be what I am looking for,
the real Corvette parts book.
