    By 1980 the Vette 5.7 was starting to get a little weak. HP was either 190 or 230, and compression was down in the 8.2 to 9.0 range. Not a horrible engine, and it can be bumped up with standard hop up techniques. If it runs ok now use it and redo it later on when you feel the need for more speed.
