Car: 1986 z28
Engine: 305 LG4
Transmission: auto
Axle/Gears: entirely stock
383 Build
The 305 LG4 in my car (1986 Z28) is totally shot. I bought it with the intention of putting a new engine in it eventually, I just wanted to drive it through the winter like it was so I would have time to build a good 400 small block. That isn't going to happen, and you can thank people who don't change their oil...ever. If the previous owners had, this engine would have many more miles left on it. Oil changes are good.
Anyway, this is my first time building a SBC since I am a ford guy, so I would like some input on my part selections.
The transmission will be built as well with the following specs.
Do I have a good lists of parts here? Is there anything better that I could get for my purpose and intentions, or am I on target?
Thanks for the help.
