I hadnt really heard of this motor until a few days ago. But what are some specs? And why is it so rare?

 

It was the engine that was in the C4 ZR1 Vettes. It has nothing to do with the LT1 or LT4 engines. 32v DOHC 5.7l with Lotus-designed heads and a Mercury Marine block. Rated up to 405hp I think in the last couple of years for them. Awesome cars

 

Produced from 90-95 in the ZR-1. Mated to a ZF six speed. All aluminum. Hand built by Merc marine. They are badass engines but are expensive and expensive to mod, but they make make some crazy N/A power. My buddy and his dad own a ZR-1 shop here in IL and they own a 93 ZR-1 and recently built a 460 ci LT5 that makes some rediculous power. Here's a link http://zr1specialist.com/HAT%20Web/p...20upgrades.htm

 

the mighty LT5.

Performance wise they were on par if nto a little better then then 405 hp LS6 offered at the start of 2002.

 

I also heard some crucial parts are unavailable or discontinued.

 

I remember the crate engine price being something like $23,995 or something rediculous like that

 

that thing is pretty wicked

 

That little fugger was scootin..



It's got a very similar BoreXStroke of a LS1/LS6..

 

They were assembled in the Mercruiser marine plant in Stillwater Oklahoma.

Also, the ZR-1 option package was around $37,500.00, with the base car price around $35,000.00. Ouch!

Nothing more than a curiosity. In no way related to the LT1 and in no way worth looking at.

 

And I thought my 383 was expensive... 23 grand for a motor? Good God

 

It was something special 20 years ago.

 

Somebody's riding the cotton pony today

 

i seen a 3rd gen with a lt5 swap back in 02' at a camaro legends tour
the owner didnt want to turn on the car, and had velvet rope around the car.

 

you could always find a wrecked ZR1 and take the LT5 and tranny outta it and put it in a 39 ******




the car was Sick! idk why i didnt take a picture from the front >

 

OUCH!!! LMAO!!!

 

That *****'s is just plain sick and twisted, the LT-5 is a rarely seen motor. Thanks to soxx puppet and Toronto LT1 have some new screen savers.

 

that ***** can't touch this

 

that chevelle was on 06 power tour. and i remember Apple Chevrolet had an ad in the back of Super Chevy for LT5's for $24k.

I'm on the hunt for the right LT5, just having trouble finding it. I want this car so bad. They sound awesome, its like nothing you've ever heard. think indy car w/ a pulse.
