You can sell your DZ and cover the entire cost of a V8 swap. Contrary to folklore the 3" stroke DZ in a 3800 pound Camaro was a DOG and could only be salvaged with AT LEAST 4.56 gears and 4.88 was better. I used 5.14's in mine. Still have a couple from when we were limited to 312ci at local round tracks. We wised up and ran a 327 truck crank in a 283 block (home made 307) and absolutely kicked the 302's butts off the corners with our 3.25 stroke.
