Well... the latest... I raided the 87 for its LT1 and now in search of a new engine.
After a lot of thought and debate, I am going to put in a truck 5.3 litre... cause nothing sounds more right than a Corvette with a 327. 
And the damned things are CHEAP. Engine, with harness, 102k miles (a little high, but almost doable), with accessories and ECM... $1100!!!
Time to do research.
I figure 330hp, max, with nearly the same torque should make that 87 jump very nicely. And less weight than the L98.
I really like that motor. Mine's (Silverado)at 145k, uses less than a quarter qt. of oil between changes, no leaks.
Total repair parts in 145k - 2 EGR check valves and one fuel pressure reg.
Fast off the line .....but I do have 3:73 gears.
