Save $ and supercharge 383 or go with an EFI BBC?

Plan A was to supercharge my 85 Z28 with a 350. I got a B&M 144, new heads, cam. Then I bought a 67 camaro with a 3 speed. The 327’s gone and replaced with a 350. It’s ugly now and needs a frame off restoration. Would you suggest use the goodies for the 383 (originally intended for the 85) or ditch the 350 for a crate 502 and add EFI?

Here's a setup for ya...

GM 502, bored and stroked to 572 cubes..

Stage 2 port job on the heads, with bigger valves and a huge camshaft...

A dual TBI setup would feed that hungry monster. It would be cheaper and give you extra money to do everything above...

Custom prom, chip, turbo 400 tranny, 12 bolt rear with 3.73s....

And the icing on the cake? A 250 hp shot of NOS available at the switch of a button!

I better stop I'm starting to get too excited.. lol
