Hi, I'm looking into doing an engine swap for my 1980 corvette vs. building up the stock L-48. I came across GM's ZZ383 but I'm not sure how the rest of the drive train will hold up to it. I have the stock 4 speed manual in the car and everything else is stock so my question is will this engine just destroy everything? Upgrading the clutch assembly is probably a must here. I dont plan on racing this thing (maybe an ocasional 1/4 pass) but mearly wanting an awesome pavement pounder! Let me know your thoughts about this engine and any other possible choices that might be in the same catigory as this one. I also have been looking at the 385 fast burn. Oh, one more thing. What kinda 1/4 times would my car run, just ballpark numbers if anyone wants to take a few shots. Thanks!!!
