Build up 302DZ or LS3?
Hey I have a 1969 Camaro Z28 with a small block 302DZ engine. The car has ridetech rear suspension, 5spd trans, wildwood disc brakes. Pretty much the engine is stock other than having headers. It has a Holley 4 barrel carberator. The question I have is how do I make this engine as fast a possible without spending ridiculous amounts of money? Was also thinking about possibly selling this 302DZ and buying a custom-built LS3. Which would run me all said and done for engine I am looking at around 14k installed. Though this 302 is in excellent condition and could prob get between 6-8.5k. Also I do not want to spend for $5000 upgrading the 302 with new heads, supercharger, EFI and then decide I should have just installed LS3 to begin with. A lot of people have told me to hold into the 302DZ and sell it in 10+ yrs as will be worth much more....? The car primarily is a street vehicle and will probably take the car to the track four-five times a year. Comments?
