Re: My new toy !!!
I think it would be cool to stick another small block in it for now and drive it as it sits untill you fix the 302.

Re: My new toy !!!
I just can't believe that somebody would let a car like that sit and deteriorate over a 32 year period, and not do anything with it.
 I'm glad to see that you rescued it! I have always wanted a 69 Camaro Z28. Keep us posted on the progress on it! I'd stick a 350 in it and drive it while I was rebuilding the 302. Great score! ...Joe

 Let me just tell you, she lived in a shack that leaned to one side, was covered in tar paper, had no power, running water, or bathroom, not even an outhouse !!!She was mentally sound, just really mean & wanted to be alone (shot at me once) I dunno if I'll drive it while I fix it, as it's worth so much But I am thinking about building a non DZ 302 (I have most of the parts to build one) to put in it & save the original DZ engine I have a good 350 block & 283 crank, prolly get some vortec heads & something like 9.5:1 to 11:1 pistons It's prolly what I'll do, cuz I'd hate to blow up the DZ engine after having it rebuilt Plus that way it'd run like a souped up Z/28

Re: My new toy !!!
when i was 17 i found a fathom green Z that had been sitting since 74. bought for 730 bucks and i ended up being the second owner. I sold it when i got married for not enough. Don't ever let that car go I would love to trade my truck for that. but i know you won't go for it. Nice find!!

Re: My new toy !!!
You keep saying big pistons, but you know DZ 302's came with forged 11:1 pop-ups don't you?

Re: My new toy !!!
Very Nice Score
If it is a "DZ" motor - it would almost be worth it to put 8 sleves in the block - just make sure the shop doesn't deck the block ID numbers off I also would suggest like about to just put a regular 350 or 327 in it to get it running until you can rebuild the original motor
