:drool:

that is all i can say.

GM put one of those motors with the matching ZF 6spd into a 3rd gen as an in house engineering project.
very cool engines, can spin to the moon. the design was also completely modular(in production line terms), much like the LSx motors today. one block casting that could be sleeved and stroked to any number of displacements.

This is not a standard LT5, its moddified by Lingenfelter Performance. they didnt make 500hp stock.
I have seen the LT5 Third gen and the LT5 Impala SS's.

[Ian]

LT5's made what? 400 hp stock? around there.

[BigAls87Z28]

405 in its final years.
I wonder if it would bolt in using normal SBC engine mounts?

[Ian]

thats a good question. I have no idea. to tell you the truth, I dont know much about the LT5.

i looked around and it appers it will. the vette sites list the same motor mount for the LT1 and the LT5 :D

[foff667]

lt5 are insane engines... i raced a vette back in the day when i had mySTS, ok well i messed around with him, he didnt act and just looked at me, ( i had a very loud exhaust on my car)he was just confused and then smiled and waved. back when i was looking for a motor for my 79 vette, i considered and lt5, but when going through prices of parts...i decided no way, i think back then , from GM, 1 complete head assembly cost 5k.
