Why not play the old game of finding a 350 in a junkyard, bore it, buy performance heads, cam, intake, and carb and be happy?

Same here, the 350 in my 89' vette! Thing is nasty, and all it has is a drop in KN, deleted muffs, and possibly a shift kit.

The 'Vette is fiberglass isn't it? Probably does weigh less, especially since it only has room for two seats.

Yup fiberglass. If my dad took care of the car, I gave it back to him and got the GTP, it would look sick. I love certain 80s-early90s vettes. But they also stuck some seriously ugly rims on some of them.
