Chevy Perfomance Crate Engines

[Dennis B.]

If you had your choice of any Chevy Performance crate motor which one would you install in a 66 Corvette driver with a 3:55 rear end and a 4 speed.

For the money the 350/330 with the new style cast iron heads and 380 #'s of torque is a good one. The ZZ4 is nice is you have to have the extra HP. The D shaped exhaust ports on the aluminum heads will not be a perfect matchup with your original exhaust manifolds, but still can be used. I have a ZZ1 and use my 70's original exhaust manifolds and the performance is OK with me. The 350/350 fuel injection engine would be nice, but from what I have read the injection unit is to tall for Corvette hoods. The injected one would be my choice if it would fit.

The 572 CID might be fun on Sat night... *NM*

RamJet 350. I think Arizona Speed and marine make a modified one with the air inlet on the side of the plennum like the original. That may solve the hood clearance issue.
