I had already spent a bunch of money on the engine before realizing how few places other than epping there were, and then lost them. I was also under the impression the All Star races were NHRA only as well. The reason I chose to run a crate is simple, where I live, even the 70's smog era parts are getting hard to come by. So all my crate parts are readily available throught the GM Dealer I work for. My combo is the ZZ4 350/345@360HP, in a 77 Camaro, fits G/CM at 3410 pounds. I know running a the legal 350 for the car, could be a very fast combo. But I'm now stuck with the crate stuff, at least for now. Just can't afford a second engine build now.
