Also consider a CE block.

I like where you're going with that! Thoughts on also painting a cowl hood and deck lid with spoiler? You know, just in case a guy likes to mix things up a little and not get bored.

Only my 3rd 1st gen Camaro and first Z, so it's going to be a learning curve.

Doing something similar with my COPO. Original no spoiler car, but those items added in 1970. Having two trunks and two cowl panels (gauges) painted.

I am with William on the CE block. I don't see the point in using a DZ block. JMO
Cool car

Keep the flat hood. All of our z28s are flat hood cars so far. And kept that way! I like a flat hood car better. It speaks to the honesty of the car and how most of them actually came! The cowl hood is hard to resist though!! If I had a non matching motor car, I would build a CE LT1 350 if you plan to drive the car. Looks just like a 302!!

Congrats on the acquisition and enjoy the build

Let's see the photos...

Don't be in a hurry to replace a 1/4 panel, unless it is really gone.

The 327 could get a solid lifter cam, bigger Holley and a little refresh...most folks wouldn't know the difference.

Sounds cool ...

The panel is rough, and someone tried to fix it when they should have left it alone. It looks like hamburger. lol
