LS7 427 or ZL1 427??
I am at a crossroads of sorts with what to do about the power plant my 69 Camaro. As I get closer to completion on the bodywork, the last piece of the puzzle, the motor, needs to be addressed. I have a carb'd stock 396 in the car currently. I have been debating about going to a new GM ZL-1 based 489 or go to a MAST Motorsports LS7 swap. The ZL-1 would be a straight change over for me into my current set-up. The LS7 would need more supporting mods to make it a viable choice. Both would be around the same hp. Any input?
