87' z28 Horsepower Question
I have a 1987 z28 I just bought for $100 bucks and it has a seized up 305. I am going to convert the car over to a 350 carb. I wanted to know how much horsepower and torque my car can handle without tying the frame or anything like that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
This is a t-top car.

It already has too much, even without a motor in it. Just rolling the chassis over uneven ground twists the whole body.
Subframe connectors are cheap and easy to install, and make a HUGE difference. I think I would speak for most on this board by telling you they shouldn't even be thought of as a "mod", but rather just installing something that the factory forgot to design in. They are absolutely essential for any form of performance usage; or even street use, for that matter.

Here here.
My car is not even T-top. It had the no-longer-running V6 when I got it. The symptom of a twisting chassis is cracks from the top door window rear corner. Mine had those when the car was dragged to my garage.
Before the V8 went in.
