Oh I think it will make more than enough power down low to get him in some serious trouble.

If any one wonders why there are so few 302 Camaro's left it is due to the fact that too many people pushed the envelope alittle on power shifts. I mean trying to hit 9k with a small block. (you could if you were really lucky and stupid)
Just wondering, would a 302 from the first Z-28 fit in a 944? That was a great engine.

Yea it is a SBC. If you can find a real DZ or MO 302 I would highly advise against using it however as those engines are worth some big $$$. But if you can find a 327 block and a large journal 283 crank you can make your own 302.

...but he is knowledgeable, friendly, and obviously cares about doing things right.

Overall, I was favourably impressed.
I agree but you know, business is business so I kept that in the back of my mind. Did you have a chance to take a drive in one?
