Drop one in mine!!!! That thing will be a blast to drive! Guys at camaros.net have done the swap and it's definatley king of the BBC's.

What kind of tranny are you going with? Is it going to be a pro touring ride? Is that the high compression 572 or the pump gas friendly one?

is that the street(620hp) or race(720hp) version?

what trans and rear end will be backing it?

any mods to the motor or just stock?

oh btw i was reading an article on the net and one of the gmhiperformance mags did a engine dyno run on the race verison and it put out about 760 or so hp at the flywheel

EDIT: my bad it was a 620hp street verison and it actually dyno'd 711hp/701tq

You can run the high CR to run on pump gas. I think HRM did it about a year ago, but it was dagerously close to the edge and they had to run like no timing.
