The 69Z had a 396 in it, but, I've always been a big Mopar fan....The Hemi-Cuda was bought off a friend who has a 69 1/2 6-Pac Dodge super-Bee......11,400 actual miles, showroom condition....It's one of those cars you have to see to fully appreciate....
I pick up most of my parts at Carilse Pa. at the car shows....Great place to shop and restore!!!
Now, if I could get my hands on a 302 Chevy engine, I'd be set...<wink>

Your first car is alwayas your favorite. I had an 86 Trans Am in excellant condition, wasnt the fastest but it looked great. Other than that I owned an 89 TransAm GTA and an 85 Fireturd. Got rid of them to drive around in my ford tempo-a babe magnet. Now I drive a Mazda Mx-6 and hopefully next year the New RX-8.

The 302 Chevrolet motor was a fluke!!!!!
well... errrr.. not really. It was installed only in the 1969 Camaro. See.... at that time Chevrolet, who was very intrested in the SCCA Trans AM racing wanted to run a car...but the 327 was too big.. and the 283 was too small. So with merged parts they got a motor that was hihg revving.. and made all of its power way up in the RPM curve. This motor was discontinued after 1969. In it's time... it was only installed in the Z28 Camaro... building one of these motors is easy. Finding the 283 parts is not.

Mmmmm. Probably 1988 Mercedes 190E, very reliable and had a unsurpassed quality of ride.
I had a nice early 70's Mustang that I extensively modified, that was nice but very very expensive on petrol..... I remember I drove it from East London to Oxford once and I used about £30 worth of pertol!!!! I was gunning it all the way there though.
Worst car. New Rover 214Si.... C R A P. Worst car I've ever owned.
