Lason Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 OHHHHHHH SNAP! Just when I go on rants to the mods about deleting and bitching about people searching a thread like this pops up. OK man, your questions are WAY to vauge and you really need to plan an afternoon to sit here and search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodlefoof Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Welcome to the site! Lots of good info here. Lason is right though, try using the "search" function first and see what you can find. As for which model to hybrid, I would say the main consideration is just emissions compliance in your state. Some Zs might have different emissions requirements based on production year. Again welcome! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWRex Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Try spending some time looking at the photos in the members galleries as well.Tons of ideas there.What I do when I see a members gallery that I'd like to use some ideas from,or is at the same stage of restoration as myself,I check their posts,and chances are,they asked the same questions as I would have.Good luck!

dr_hunt Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 All aluminum rodeck or rocket block sbc with some bitchin 14 degree heads, full roller cam and go hillborn alky injected. You'll be the only one to have such and be in a leage of your own, not that you aren't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Yeah, they give that stuff away in North Carolina after a race or too. There's so much of that used junk that they can't get rid of it. I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
