It had a small block 302. It was a special made motor only for the Z28 to qualify for Trans Am racing so the motor had to be less than 305 CID.

It was the 327 block with a 283 crankshaft. The heads and the solid lifter camshaft were from the fuel injected Corvette. It had an aluminum high rise manifold with a huge Holly carburator.

You could get it with tubular headers that would be delivered in the trunk to be installed at the dealer but I didn't get those since my father, who had to co-sign the loan since I was under 21, was already freaking out that I was paying $3800 for a car.

The car has been completely restored and makes the car show circuit now. The current owner sends photos occasionally.

This thread has strayed OT a little bit.
