What engines would be a good replacement for a Chevrolet Camaro z28 old engine?

I want to know which modern engines are good for a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro z28?


V8 ofcours|||Depending on your budget, you can't go wrong with a Gen III engine. You can go anywhere from the 5.7 LS1 to the 7.0 C5R engine. YearOne makes a kit to put this engine in your car! (link below)





There are several advantages to these engines. First, the head design of these engines is superior to Gen 1 and 2 engines, especially for power on a budget. A traditional SBC has 23 degree heads, while a Gen 3 has 15 degree for better airflow. Second, the LS1 (5.7), LS2 (6.0), LS3 (6.2), LS6 (5.7), and LS7 (7.0) are all aluminum engines...and will shave about 150 lbs off the front of your car, assuming you have an iron block/head engine now. That might not seem like a lot, but believe me, you will notice the difference. Third, they are fuel injected and will give great throttle response and fuel mileage. Also, if you could find a wrecked car to get parts from, you could get an ECU, transmission and engine together and make life simple. Just to give you an idea about power and economy, my 99 Formula has an LS1 that delivers 440hp to tires, it has a 4L60E automatic, and 3.23 gears. The car will go 11.6 in the quarter all motor, 10.7 on bottle, and gets 26 mpg on the highway with the cruise set at 70...with the a/c on! The car now has 88,000 miles and has been driving fairly hard since 20,000. It has been well maintained, but not babied...it's still going strong.|||Ls7 :) isn't that in the new z06?

Would a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer make a good first car?

The car I am looking at is a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer s10 zr2 4wd and I was wondering what your thoughts are on it as a first car for an upcoming girl driver. What problems did you experience with this particular car or what did you particularly like about this car. Overall, is it safe and good on gas mileage?|||since you are asking this question, you must like the idea of owning a blazer.





to answer your question, yes the blazer will make a great first car. over the years the s10 blazer and truck has just gotten better. there are many ++++ to owning and driving the blazer. to start with it's a real 4x4 which gives you a good winter vehicle that can also go off road or even travel on the beach. the seating position is higher than a car so you can see over over most of them in traffic. this can give you advanced warning of traffic problems (cars slowing down in front of you etc.).





the blazer has good towing cap. and will carry larger items.





driving a 4x4 is a little different than driving a car. you will need to take turns and curves a little slower. and watch quick maneuvers like lane changes but as long as you know this it is not a problem. because it a 4x4 and a little bigger and heavier than most cars the mpg will be less than a cars but depending on how its equipped it will still get into the 20+ mpg.





overall they are safe vehicles as long as they are driven like a 4x4.





hope this helps|||Those May not be good, more of a better car is Honda Civic 2000 Those would be great for a girl..why?

Is it possible to get a detachable cd player installed in my 2004 Chevrolet Malibu LS?
