Building a 60 Corvette for SS....or GT....? help!
 
I am building a small tire 60 Corvette for SS competition. The chassis modifications are complete, and it's time for the engine program consideration. I believe the car fits natural "L" with a 283 and a glide. My primary concern is consistency, and the ability to repeat. Would a 327 or 350 in a GT set up be more consistent? Car will have a 10.5 tire and Caltrac set-up. Also, factor in the availability of 327/350 resources compared to 283 stuff. Thanks, Wade

Not alot of hood clearance. How about a 265 out of a Caprice/ 3 speed trans? Throttle body is in the front.
