spdkilz02 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thinking of putting a 350 in the 83zx, instead of the old L28ET. Which would be better in the long run? The original drivetrain would need a complete rebuild, and the 350 i can get from a 96 firebird and also the tranny for it. Not sure that I would keep the EFI, i would more then likely go with a carb on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschiltz Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 First, read this http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=123143 Everything depends on what YOU want out of the car. FWIW, the '350' you have access to is an LT1. Search for that and you'll get tons of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdkilz02 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 ya i read that thread before.. i forgot to put what i was using the car for..this is going to be a strictly drag car, not for the road at all. i can get the ls1 and tranny for cheap, prolly even cheaper then what it would cost to rebuild the original l28. maybe this would be a better question. which would be the easiest way to go? as for the swap or taking the time to rebuild everything and then try to figure out all the wiring. im leaning towards the ls1 mainly bc i work at summit and they have anything i would need.

bschiltz Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Dollar per horsepower, it's going to be cheaper to go with the LT1. If you slap some hair dryers on it big horse power is not that hard to achieve. Search for LT1 and you'll get tons of info including wiring.
