grumpyvette Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 build a 377,383 or 406 sbc, you are guaranteed to kick a$$ on Z-28s if you use the correct parts! the main thing is to match the heads, cam and intake to the rpm range you want the power in! and to build a solid bottom end that has an excellent oiling system for long life! look at that bunch of posts on how to build a 383( want to build a 383 ? )(in the same coluum) to get some ideas but if you spend 1/3- 1/2 of your budget on killer heads and the rest on good dependable parts for the lower end to build a strong well oiled rotateing assembly you will wind up with a nice engine keep in mind that an engine is an air pump and great breathing heads and matching cam are the main keys to good power! if you want Ill list some parts combos but keep in mind power costs money (ain,t life a bitch at times) and if your looking for big hp numbers it will cost money, but Z-cars are light enough that a 450 hp/450 ft lbs engine will make almost everything else on the road look sick includeing the new vettes!
