I've owned my 81 Z28 for 9 years. My kids and I have built it from an empty shell to what it is today entirely in our own garage. The car is powered by a .060 over 350 (361"), balanced and blueprinted, with Speed Pro 10.75 compression hypereutetic pistons. A hydraulic roller cam with .588 lift and roller rockers provide the Trick Flow CNC aluminum heads with plenty of air. A worked over Holley 850 on top of a Victor Jr. manifold keeps power flowing. MSD distributor provides the spark and Summit ceramic coated headers provide the exit into 2.5" exhaust and Cherry Bomb turbo mufflers. A built 350 turbo with B&M internals and a 3500 convertor provide the jump and a 3.73 posi with Lakewood traction bars keep the polished Torque Thrusts and rear 275R60-15 tires planted as well as possible. The lacquer paint was applied by my son and I in our garage and still needs to be rubbed out and final coats of clear sprayed on.

Nice car. Had one like it in high school in the early 80's.  The color you selected is a real attention getter. I bet it pulls alot harder than the 305 did in mine.
