      LT1 was available in Corvette and Camero only, and they stopped production in 1970. They didn’t have aluminum heads, but cast ones with the double-hump castings. 2.20 intake 1.60 exhaust valves. It was a 4 bolt main block and had “pink” rods, which had 7/16 rod bolts instead of the usual 3/8. In the Camaro it was rated @ 350 hp, ‘Vette 360 hp the difference being cold air induction of the ‘Vette hood

I struck gold about 5 yrs back and now sitting in the garage properly cared for and stored is an original '69 Z/28 DZ 302 with appx. 20,000 miles. Getting off my butt to start this gig.

    Great build. Just one little thing. I would build a sort of box around the air filter to sort of isolate it from the hot engine bay air. Then I think it would be a good idea to wrap the metal part of the tubing in heat shielding so it doesn't get as much heat.

      Cool. These were good pickups. Very cheap to maintain. I also loved the earlier models dashboard. I had a 1989 and a 1992. I liked the 1989 better just because it had the weird dashboard. It was a 1500 with a 350 tbi. They also made many with the 305 and the 4.3 V6 tbi. The one we had at my job had the 4.3. That pickup saved my life. I crashed in a 5 tons water tanker at 100km/h the guy turned on the red light and cut me the way. It was a 1988 1500. The doors wouldn't open anymore and it didn't have a airbag obviously. I was lucky to have only a palette of folded boxes. I usually have to bring 32 inches steel manhole covers from the machine shop. It will have cut me in 2.

    Ive just been gifted a free 81,000 mile, 95 Z28, from a guy I used to turn wrenches with at the local Ford dealership. He spent thousands on the engine, heads and transmission. It dyno'd at 421 hp to the wheels, N/A. Plus it has a 130 shot of nitrous on top of that. He ran 7.40's on nitrous at our 1/8th mile drag strip here in Jackson, TN. Its been sitting out in the direct sunlight for 10 years and the clearcoat is bubbled up on it. So we're gonna have to try some wizardry on that, and see if we can at least make it a nice 10 footer. Lol. He parked it only 2500 miles after building it, due to blowing a head gasket. He got in a hurry finishing up putting the engine back togethern, and put a cheap set of gaskets on it. So im hopefully gonna pull the heads off this week, and drop them off at the machine shop, just to have them cleaned up and checked, just for peace of mind. best gift ive ever been given. Lol
