And an SS big block could be bought just as light as a Z28 save for the weight difference in the engine. Same brakes so it would stop the same. It wouldn't handle as well but that's about the only thing lacking.
I'm sure if you put a Z28 on a dynojet, you'd see that it makes close to that 290hp.

i think the zl1 was almost as light as a sbc because it was all alumimum.
anyhow i think we should all stop bickering and get back on to the subject. and make iroc happy
