: Does anyone have any comment on putting a 502 in a '69
: corvette? Driveability and good gas mileage would be
: nice to have, if possible. To that end, which state of
: 502 should I go for? There is the 450hp, 502hp, and
: 602hp. I understand there is a trade-off between
: higher power / worse mileage+overheating+poor vacuum.
: What kind of numbers would this combination turn? I am
: guessing it would rival the numbers of a ZL1/L88
Sounds fun to me .The good thing about the 502 it has a compression for todays gas. Our 602hp might be a little much for the car.How about some small power upgrades to the 502 hp engine.Give us a call and we can figure what you need. THANKS TOM
