The Z-28 Motors of Old
Assuming that the Z/28 will not just be cosmetics and will be, instead, performance based, what available options, motor wise, are there that would be in the small block category (sorry, I have not kept up with GM motors)? I like what Vega had to say about the 302's. The Z/28s of old were relatively light and nimble. Putting 427 motors in them would make them as nose heavy as the GT500. A small block would shave weight and still leave the potential for supercharging it to power levels that are not destructive to the motor but very impressive on the track (I am thinking road course here). Thanks in advance for any light you can shed for me on the motor choices.
