Re: Z/28 302 camshaft selection
I wonder what the little 302 with a street friendly solid roller cam, modern tremec 5 speed with low first gear, and some 4.10's out back would be like? A similar situation exists with the Mustang Cobra's 4.6L 4 valve engine that has little bottom end but loves to rev. I had a 98 model with T45 trans and 4.10's and the car was a blast! That low first gear (3.37 I believe) with the 4.10's gave great torque multiplication with the overdrive (.67) dropping the cruising revs on the freeway. This would be a great tranny for a swap into a non concours first gen Camaro.
