LT-1 based 302
I'm not planning on building this engine. This is just for the purpose of discussion. Couldn't you build a modern 302 by combining the crankshaft from a 1994-1996 4.3 liter, L99 (Baby LT-1 used in the Caprice) with an '92-'96 5.7 liter LT-1 block, rods, pistons and heads?
It would be interesting to see how a modern 302 with roller cam, reverse flow cooling, and fuel injection would perform vs. the old DZ 302.
Specifications
DZ-302 (4.000 bore) (3.00 stroke) (5.70 rod) (2.45 main journal) (2.10 rod journal)
L99.......(3.740 bore) (3.00 stroke) (5.94 rod) (2.45 main journal) (2.10 rod journal)
LT-1......(4.000 bore) (3.48 stroke) (5.70 rod) (2.45 main journal) (2.10 rod journal)
Based on an earlier thread, Can 302s crank out 400+ HP? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=408256
