Decision on which motor

[Tony C.]

I need some help deciding on what motor to use. I currently have a stock ZZ4 in my 72 Nova w/a 700R4 and12 bolt 3.73 gears. Running 275/40/17 in the rear. The car will be primarily street driven with some track time. My problem is this: I want more than the 355 hp/405 tq the motor has. My options are: upgrade with a better cam and then add the EZ EFI; buy a 383 from patriot-performance rated at 450hp and use a vacuum canister (i am told the vacuum wont be enough to run power brakes) and then later add the EZ EFI; or buy an LS2 and swap out the stock cam for a better one. I have a buyer for the ZZ4 but am not sure which route to go. Any help would be appreciated.

LS2 is the way to go. Great HP and fuel mileage. Its a no brain er. All technology is headed that direction and on the 383 if you ever want to put a power adder with the ez efi you can't. Its not compatible with nitrous of blow through applications.

LS2 hands down.....Imho there's no comparison even if they both have the same HP #'s

I'll take that 700r4 off your hands. :)
