I saw it posted on ilgpc. The LT5 came in the C4 ZR1. Its the DOHC engine.

[Smokinhot]

[Euro]

Hot damn that's like the Big Lot's price for an LT5

Panda sure is giving some sig worthy posts.

LT5s were in the ZR-1. They were Lotus designed and Mercury Marine built quad cam V8s. I cant possibly imagine the cost of replacement parts let alone a motor for one of those beasts.

Let me put it this way... $$$$$

To replace a set of injectors is 16 grand at 1k a piece. (at least this was back in the late '90s)

I work at a Corvette specialist shop and these engines are nothing but technological marvels of a paperweight. They're a bitch to work on and cost way too much to maintain.

Also, if the trans that the engine is connected to/being sold with is original out of the same car, then it isn't an LT5 engine. ZR-1s were all manual iirc.

 

[SinisterSHO]

I also believe all ZR1s were 6 speed.

That's an L98 from a '91...not even as new as an LT1

Yeah thats definitely not the DOHC....It looks like the tuned port, but I am no expert of SBC's of any year...

 

[Shibby50]

yea looks like the TPI out of my moms 89 GTA...minus the valve covers

[Bob Kazamakis]

yea, i think the cheapest real LT5 i have ever seen was for like $15K and it was still a brand new engine- 0 miles! they are an amazing engine though! 4 cams, dual runner intake with 16 injectors, 3 blade throttle body, adjustible horsepower level for the valet or wife.... and thats just the engine- the car also had numerous changes that made it better than a standard vette.

and yes, they were all manual but i believe the trans was just a beefed up version of the standard ZF-6 speed that came in all manual corvettes of the same year...

This guy is now selling the motor on Grand Prix Forums:

http://www.grandprixforums.net/f49/91-corvette-l98-engine-700-r4-4112.html

You can tell its the same by the pictures

And he's asking $1500

 

[BluBeaSSt]

Yeah that would be a L98.....great for a truck LOL

Tq monsters and then they fall right on there ass, the only other motor that was any kind's of anything besides the LT5 was the L98/LT1 Combo and that was 92....so 1000K is way high for that motor.

(I've seen 5.3 + 4L60E on LS1tech for 700)
