Re: 1979 Camaro Z28 Engine Swap

heres one I did you might like...small block 350...punch it 30 over...use 6inch rods instead of the 5.7 find you a set of good 327 66cc heads use small dome pistons original crank and a 280/510 cam or somewhere close you'll find the 13;1 compression will force you to use a high torque starter...it'll hit a pretty good lick and off the line you wont be touched...I used a holley mid rise intake and ....get this..... a quadrajet carb....the carb had some work and a few goodies but I never had a problem with it....my transmission...700R4 ....but I've got a good tranny guy who put in some long hours on it for me....off the line I can make the front wheels of my 72 camaro jump a 20 oz bottle of coke....not drinkable after the rear wheels get done with it tho.....oh yea horses....we dyno'd it at the rear wheels at 573HP I dont drive it in the highway much because I dont have the gears for it but I do drive it to ork sometimes about 35 miles and it rides nice and has plenty of punch even at 60 and hit it...it'll still throw you back in the seat.....anyhow just a suggestion...have fun...thats what it's all about!
