I have a 1987 Z28 with the 305 LG4 engine (5 speed trans & 4 barrel carb. How much horsepower for stock engine?

Radar,

If you have an alum. intake (standard), according to GM it is producing 245hp at 2800 rpm. I had the same motor in my 87'. Hope that helps. Also check out Thirdgen.org for more info on your car.


Keep it between the lines

87' Z28 355/375hp
700r4 373 posi

Sorry, but no way is that 305 making 245hp at 2800 rpm...I think you mean 245 lbs-ft of torque. I belive 87 LG4's were about 165hp or so.

77 Chevy Nova

I stand corrected, travis is right, the 87' LG4 produced 165hp@4400 rpm and 245lbs@2800 rpm. It also had a CR of 9.3:1.
