Engine decisions,,,,,,,I need advice My project-- 1980 280ZX sbc conversion.
my chioces-- 1987 corvette 5.7L dual throttle body
LT-1 5.7L
LS-1 5.7L
I need advice from those that know
engines and the best setups for performance applications. Also have to consider hood clearance if I go with a carb'd unit.
The cheapest is not always the best and on the other hand, the most expensive isn't either.
Please help and don't think of me as too ignorant for these questions.

I think I have to agree, plus it will look very good under the hood. Any good sources for LS-1 with M6 tranny, to include the ECM and wiring.

I bought mine there, no shipping involved as it's within driving distance for me.
