to add to yans comments...i have two v8 conversions. one is a sbc conversion in a 71 and the other is a 930 with a mast motorsports drive by wire ls7. it never crossed my mind about a z06. for my purposes, i wanted a porsche hotrod with plenty of non-porsche horsepower. i dont have any problems with porsche engines but wanted v8 power and not six cylinders. the 78 930 weighs in at less than 2400 pounds and has 705 crank horsepower. it was not cheap but it was what i wanted to build. and, it was the combination of power, body style, handling that i wanted to drive on the street...
