Well sure but so does larger intake and exhaust valves and a redesigned combustion chamber.

that is a good question..ever heard of a mighty mouse?? With a bunch of different combos, you can get 400 HP out of an old small block checy 350! Its been done a billion times. Difference is, Automakers worry about reliability, MPG, emissions and all that crap. With a push rod motor, you are limited in the valve size by what fits in the bore and only having 1 cam eliminates the possibility ov having more than 2 valves per cylinder. If you are building your own motor, you can put as big a lift cam as you want and don't have to give two hoots about MPG, CAFE bla blah bla

Somehow, the sound of the ZL1, over the last 6 months, has displaced the ol' lumpy sounds of yore, with a new radically deep and sporadically popping and groaning that remains worthy of carrying the Muscle Car flag. Take a current LSA and pop it in a 69 Camaro with pipes. How might the new sounds feel in the older car in your opinions?

....hmmmm....honestly, for me, just sayin, I'd rather do up a first gen small block from scratch, get out my old tools, and do up something nostalgic, but in newer N/A terms, using old school methods with the more up to date parts available now. I wouldn't do an upgraded plug and play new motor. That's likely because my hands on experience ended in the mid 80's. But, retro mods are cool too!:thumbsup:
