Cruez Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Ok here goes...I need some opinions... I have decided to give my new Z (75-78) a chebby transplant... I want it to be fuel injected....at some point, either in the beginning or possibly later.. I originally wanted to build a chevy 302 and put in it for the rpm range. Then I thought well, how about a 327 instead of finding all the parts to put together the 302. I also want the T56 behind it. So, what would be the better route: 1. LT1 and T56 pullout? 2. LS1 and T56 pullout? 3. carburated SBC and T56, and later add EFI? Seems that adding a Vortech or something similar would be easier on the LS1 and LT1 if I did that later on. But I could build the SBC and get parts cheaper and have more selections of parts. Decisions, decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 if efi is your final goal, go with the efi system first and supe it as you go, if you can go ls1, go with the ls1, a couple guyz already dun it, lt1 with a t56 is a cheaper combo that you can get from the junkyard fairly easy. 327 and the 302 are both great motor, but no matter what car you are in and what gears you have, sorry to say it, but the cubes dont lie, they never have and they never will. a 350 is everywhere, and the 327 and 302 blocks are starting to disappear as well. the 280 has a stronger frame than the earlier years, so it would be a fun car to sbc swap, as long as somewhere along the line you threw at least a roll bar that tied into the frame rails.
