Steve, I have a good engine hoist if you need it. I can also make some time to give you a hand!
Buddy

Thanks Buddy I appreciate the offer! I have a hoist and just need to coordinate with the rebuilder a date and time to deliver the engine.

I would keep it stock stroke or swap in a different engine that you are comfortable thrashing on when driving it.

If you want to hammer on it with no worries of what happens to the engine, go with more displacement. I have a 406 small block with AFR's, super victor, and a hydraulic flat tappet in my 67 Camaro and the torque makes the car so much fun to drive! Plus no adjusting valves.

Stroker crank and a light flywheel. More torque, still revs. I liked and miss my two ‘69 Hugger Orange Z/28s, but I’m not a fan of the 302 driving experience. They’re like driving small displacement turbo engines. I bought an original owner ‘70 428CJ Mach 1 after the last one went away and that really solidified that I’m a torque guy. Build the original engine-you’re not racing and you don’t need to be tripping over an extra engine.

Steve, as you know we’re purists through and through especially with the original paint survivor stuff like you. Years ago we had the chance to buy a gently used ZZ4 for our Z28 and contrary to my initial hesitation, it made using the car so much more enjoyable knowing the born with 302 (rebuilt but unknown specs of it) was completely protected. We just upgraded to a 383 stoker. This season has been very busy but this fall we plan to use the Z more. We also have an M22 to install to protect the original M21. Long and short - crate engines are cheap insurance and especially if you go with a vintage block, you can dress it stock in a pinch and no one but you would know anyways!
