Hi is there any one that knows tha weight of the LT-5 and how many HP it can handle with some mods and also how high rpms it could handle.

Thanks Micael

 

To be honest have I've never seen any published numbers on the exact weight of a complete LT5. I do know that its a pretty heavy sucker - I've heard anywhere from 100-200lbs more than an LT1. Its definitely a big engine.

There are rumors of a 1000 fwhp LT5 out there - probably a TT setup or running lots of nitrous. They are a strong engine and should be able to handle a goodly amount of power even with the stock crank. As I recall the stroker cranks were prone to crank walk early on. Not sure if this is still a problem.

You might also try www.zr1.net. There are several LT5 experts there that should be able to help you out.
