First off, I pretty much don't bag others rides. I may comment on what I would or would not do but hey, it's yours.
Steve, I still remember your reasoning for using the engine that is in your truck. I seem to remember it coming down to you had the engine available so that's what went in. Garbz made the 100% point that in the old rodding days they used what was available that made power, nailheads,sbc,etc. I would personally go Y block because I think one would sound just bitchin with a set of Zoomie headers though.
I would be very happy to have my 71 Camaro Rally Sport back, would still love to have a 1969 COPO Camaro and I don't even like 69s as well as 67-68s but how do you argue with an aluminum 427 cube engine in a pony car.
That said, bring on the stock 85 Z-28 and then lets talk, same with the 05 Z-28, apples for apples.
I owned nothing but GM products until 1982. Did a brake job for the GMs daughter at a Pontiac dealership I was working at - 1969 Mustang. I of course had to take the car out for a short drive after wards like any other brake job and was as they say "smitten", the Stangs I now have are I believe numbers 7 & 8.
Hot Rods- fords are better, everything else has too much wood in it. Slicks, can't remember Not liking them. I am an absolute junkie for 60s Mercs, shoulda finished the 65 Comet 2 door post I had, was going in a T-Bolt direction with that one, would've been VERY COOL!

Canada has plenty of fresh water.

I live on Lake Erie and on one of the best aquifers in the continent, at least till some idiot lets Davis Besse nuclear power plant melt into the shoreline
Someday I'll get another slick 
Here it is guys, the final word, the ultimate answer to the question.
When the owner considers it not to be a slick anymore!
Again a Canadian comes through with the correct answer. Funny thread, I'm glad we can all get along so well.
