Yep, it's a big block I would say. The 302 that was the stock engine in the early Z28's was, of course, a small block Chevy... a 327 with a 283 crank plus a solid lifter cam, high compression, good heads, hi-rise aluminum intake manifold, and a 780 dual feed center pivot Holley (R3310).
As memory serves me, in 1970, Chevrolet went with the LT1 350/360 engine in the Z28 (still a small block). I well remember in the early spring of 1967 seeing a Z28 run at Aquasco Speedway in Maryland. These cars were shipped to the dealers with Kustom headers (if ordered) in the trunk for dealer installation. This particular Z28 was running in the 12's and it was stock! I think he had 4.56 gears and, of course, slicks, but that was it (the Kustom headers, too). Rated at 290 HP and 290 lb/ft of torque, the 302 was putting out 340 real HP to the clutch.

A friend as a 1969 Z/28 DZ car. Great car. Most of it is at the upper range, but boy does it sound wonderful getting there.

Glad it wasn't a factory Z/28.
I prefer the small block F-cars greatly over the big blocks.
That's not an issue, as long as the resto-mods didn't start out as rare original cars. I may build a small block '68 Mustang fastback "Bullitt"-style clone (lowered, with an injected engine, etc.) someday, but not with a 390 or 427 GT as a donor car.

So the Mustang you might build is a kit car?
