Just for conversion sake, what would you do? I got the 77 T/A with the original 400 and four speed, and the 82 Z28 with a numbers matching HO 305( ) I would like one of them to have an LS based motor in it for a nice streetable 400 hp at the wheels. The thing is I have Vortec 350 that I can build with 700r4 trans that could be a cheap upgrade for the Camaro, but not quite the HP i'm after. However even with 325 ish at the wheels, it would still be a ball. I was thinking today the T/A would be sweet with a LS1/T56 combo, but would it be sinful to take out the original engine? Otherwise the 82 could be fun as heck with the LS1 in it , and no problem of guilt will pulling the 305.If both were in your garage who who get the upgrade. Just thinkin outloud. I'm not sure I should ask this here because I know how fond all you are of the gen 3 camaros
