He contacted the SVI people , they gave him the first pic I posted. They verified that they were building these engines for a Corvette prototype. The turbo lag and the engine shaking of the unbalanced 4.3 was too much hassle for GM to approve the design. Im not sure if it was ZR-1 specific though ... but the year "1987" seems feasible.

He originally bought it thinking it was a SYCLONE/TYPHOON prototype engine , but its too big to fit in the s15 body ---
