Help with new engine

i need a new engine, i was going to change out my stock LG4 to a 350, i am going to do this very soon like by the end of summer, ao i will also need a good exhaust system, can anyone help me out with finding the system that would fit with my 83 Z-28, i would prefer a hooker system but i will settle with something else with a really agressive sound... please help

This is often discussed on the Exhaust forum. Assuming you're keeping the cat and other emissions stuff, go with a system designed for '86-'91 TPI single-cat, and replace everything from the heads to the rear bumper.

Don't bother with anything that is "made" for an LG4, or an '83.
