If it's not an asc conversion, I don't think I'd be at all interested if I were you. If it's an asc however, they are quite nice and well engineered.Shiny Side Up!Bill Quote Selected

looking for validation on this Z28 Reply #7 – June 14, 2009, 07:11:49 PM nice car,, not sure on the 302 thing. Chevy 302 hasnt been around since early 70's.Even if its suppose to be a 305 and he fat fingered the key board, a 305 wouldnt be my choice to HO. Quote Selected

looking for validation on this Z28 Reply #11 – June 14, 2009, 09:54:37 PM Chevy called the 305 a 5.0, I had a '77 Monza with Chevy 5.0 badges... 302s were the HiPo Z28 engine back in the '60s and used a fairly radical solid lifter cam... Quote Selected
