Replacement Engine?
Finished the interior in October on my 80 Coup, and looking good! Currently stock, L48 (190 HP). Problem is that wheels that look as awesome as the C3's, prefer power to match it's style. Chevy didn't do it justice from the factory.
I'm looking for something that's at least 325 HP with at least 390 lbs. torque and preferabley a turn key engine.
Does anyone have any suggestions that could get me started?
Thanks! :cool:

Try here https://www.spoperformanceparts.com/ You should be able to find lots of crate motors from GM that could fit the bill.

Get a zz4. For $3300 you get 355hp anf 405 torque. Several members have them and rave about them. I get mine back on Tuesday from the shop with the zz4. :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: :D :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:

Most Chevy dealers should be able to get your ZZ4, or any other crate, from GM Performance parts. Here's another dealer that sells a variety of crates. Good info, compare prices...
