I have considered the ZZ383 ($4700) which would certainly be cheaper.I know someone who put it in a '71 Camaro and is very happy with it.I'd have to convert the center bolt valve covers to perimeter and I don't think my LT-1 manifold will work with it either,will it?I just wonder how well these GM motors are put together compared to a specialty house like Mitchell's.The best of the best parts are in these motors.I am even considering the Motown 415 alloy head motor for around $8K.
Choices...choices.
