zr1 lt5

You are defiantly one lucky man. What kind of power will that lt5 make if you had the heads mildly ported by Lloyd, stroke it, and add a nice set of cams; is there even many aftermarket cam to chose from? I would love to build one of those, just to see what it is capable of N/A with stock ported heads.

I'd pay to see someone put it in a 4th gen. The motors are rare, designed in conjunction with mercury marine and lotus. IIRC the reason chevy dropped it was 1. Manufacturing cost, and 2. They started on the ls1. But 405hp in the day was a huge deal with the early fuel injection systems (ie. Anything pre-97). I say build it and run it off of a FAST system or even and lsx pcm. Would make for a fun project. And it really doesn't take much to get really nice hp numbers out of them. A former co-workers dad had one well over 600 RWHP and not much coin into it....

ive actually seen a lt5 swapped in a 3rd gen camaro before. at a car show hosted by GMPP. at a dealership many years ago. it was a white and lime green car. engine sounded good. so i know its possible tlo swap in.
