Here is the issue with that, that 4.2TT engine is the same weight as the LT4 (I know they say that its lighter but they say it is 529 pounds and the LT4 was stated as being around 529 pounds so what 5 pounds lighter). If you had to pick between two engines that weigh the same but one makes 550BHP and the other makes 650BHP then which engine makes more sense for the Z/28?.

It also uses a really small block so you won't see 6.2L from this engine and probably not even 5.0L from it so don't expect much else from this engine sans higher boost for more power.
