Small block without question,,,

except maybe a 396cid...

or 427cid

wheel,

[/quote]

the worst small block ,other than the 305 chevy ever produced...

try again,,,

crap...

too long of a stroke.

a decent dump truck motor though

302 DZ Small Block...

it was an old piece of crap...

Shopping for a crate 383 to turn it into a drag car.

454 producing 450 hp and close to 500 ft-lb of torque.

a revolutionary car for the muscle generation.

This

For a dragster you can't go wrong with a set up like this.

454 producing 450 hp and close to 500 ft-lb of torque.

no,,,

the 396 or 427 ,

much faster engines,

The 69 Z28 was THE revoutionary muscle car...

But, one things for sure, any of these bury a pony every day of the week and twice on sunday.

do you know the specs of the 69 Z28 with the 302 DZ ?

It is still one of the most powerful engines chevy ever produced...

383 is just a bored out 350. Even a 350 will be enough to force a transmission swap also!

not disagreeing. Just not my choice in cars.

Maybe from my days of growing up around a bunch of rednecks all idolizing the camaro body.

No need to overbore a 350...

the bigger displacemnet does nothing but weaken the cylinder wall.

A steel crank shaft, 4 bolt mains make the motor durable..

And as we all should know it's the Heads that produce the HP...

202 valves, screw in studs, ported AND polished,,,

now that's a beast...

If you gonna swap out tranny's, may as well do it right and put in a ford 9 in rear-rear end.

Blaspheme, I know.
