RE: 5.0 vs. 79 Z28
I can't see why you won't win handily. There is no substantial difference in weight. You have a 350 to a 302, 300 HP or thereabouts (are you sure its mot more like 265) to about 235 maybe), and 20% higher gearing. I don't think the auto trans will matter one way or the other, but bave you done anything to the stall speed of the Turbo 350 so you get off the line faster.
