Default LT5 swap

I remeber awhile back someone posting about putting a LT5 in a F Body. Well here's your chance to try it. I'm not selling it I just found it surfing on EBay, Thought it was pretty cool to see one.

I always thought that was the best looking motor GM ever built. Just wish it had more power.

i've heard that it wont even work with the 6spds in f-bodies, but that it was a different version altogether for the zr1's. i got an article in an old hot rod or car craft and it talked about how alot of it would require alot of modification to fit in an f-body.

you would probably need a german bult ZF 6speed. they are very good transmissions...theyre really expensive though. i read somewhere that the LT5's can make crazy power with bolt ons.

a company makes stroker kits and cams and ported heads and stuff like that for them, one package gives them over 600hp N/A, its a great motor, just dam expensive to work on, i think that one package was like $20K or something like that

SLP used a ZF-6 transmission on their 91-92 Firehawk's. GM put a LT5 into a thirdgen Camaro.


Tim Allen went to GM and had a LT5 custom fitted into his Impala SS. He said it cost around 6 figures to get it to fit, but he also had all of GM at his disposal.
