Chevy performance ZZ series motors (ZZ3 and ZZ4 these days) Drop right into those Vettes. They put down 330 and 355 at the crank respectivly. with 380ft/lbs on the ZZ3 and 418 ft/lbs on the ZZ4. IF he went that route it's for sure a drivers race, but you should have the edge.
The 700r4 and the driveline on the C3's = about 25% loss. so even if he got a 400 HP motor he is only putting 300 to the ground.
Only one way to find out!

100% He probably didn't even upgrade the gears in the rear end either ..... which is just dumb since the gears then were like 2.73's lol

In 1986 they only had 230HP, I would think between power to weight and FWD efficiency that a stock srt-4 would take one. It would be real close, driver's race.
Didn't see he was modded, depends on how well planned his mods are I guess, those are still V8's, could get nasty power from a good build up. Run and find out, just don't go pinks, lol!
Some literature lists it at 240hp... probably to keep it "ahead" of the Buick T-Type / GN which was rated at 235hp in 1986 (and was faster than the almighty 'vette) which upset a lot of people at Chebby.
Not too hard to make 300+ with a simple rebuild on the L98, esp if he added some goodies like a cam, so it could be a good run...

It wouldn't be close at all (If it's basically stock). I smacked the crap out of a C4 with a S2, 2.5" exhaust, and a short ram intake on my ride at the time.
