This gives me a lot of hope for a project Ive been thinking about..
My bro has a recently freshened Up better than stock 1970 LT1 big block that has been sitting in a garage for years. From what he said, Its output was close to 600 horse at the crank, but with boat loads of torque. If my 93Z28 becomes emissions exempt soon, I think there may be a permanent grin on my face

Sounds like a monster. Does it always start to die when you hit the brakes hard? If so you may want to check your float levels. If they arent too high, you may want to raise your idle speed a bit. I cant remember reading what brakes you have, but if you have power brakes, it would really suck for them to go out when you need them the most. Just my .02. Car looks great, this motivates me to start on a big block.
