Okay, so Im bored with my '93 Z. It's got 175k on her and I'm gonna tear it down. I am just looking for opinion reguarding my repower options. I hang with a few LS heads, and I come from a hardcore SBC background. Honestly, at 43 the LT! is still new to me. Cost is no object, I'm just looking to build a Street terror With around 400hp + 200hp nos shot. My question is, is the LT! the engine or is a SBC an option for a 93? Not really comfortable changing EVERYTHING over for ls1. My last sbc was in my 84 Z 383 ci producing 403 rwhp and 433 rwt. N/a Im looking for I guess the easiest way to have the same numbers from my '93. Preferably maintaining the existing fuel delivery and ignition/electronics. aside from necessary upgrades. I have search on the site and all over the internet, but never really can find an answer.

 

Also forgot to mention, that I am not opposed to dumping the 93 and buying a different years if it makes things easier. I just like the 93 because well, its a 93 and its the rare green/grey color. Of course its a 6 speed as well.

 

Really, nobody has any opinions?

 

Easiest path to ~400 NA is LE Heads/Cam and all the supporting mods with the stock ignition system.
Supporting mods would be everything before the intake and after the exhaust

With an LT1 only because i'm not sure how many complications there are with an LS swap (computer for one would need to be swapped).

Since money is no object i'd probably stroke it while you rebuild the whole bottom end.

 

Definitely not afraid to do the bottom end right by stroking and splayed caps for it!
