I never get tired of posting this info. It's from Dave Strickler's 1968 Camaro "Old Reliable". This is the engine I want in my Vette. Why? Because a bunch of people say "it's too small, the car won't go, you need a stroker to go fast, etc., etc., etc. This will be strictly strip...so no worries about leaving stoplights, etc.

I've stripped a lot of the dead weight so I am at or less than what the Camaro weighed. Hardest part is gonna be finding the internal parts. 302 Z-28 pistons and crank are not exactly common any more. Oh yeah....if you want to see pics and get more info on the Old Reliable, you can check it out here:
