I am pretty sure the ZR-1 was always LT5 powered from day 1. This may or may not have been a "study" for the Corvette but not a ZR-1. The ZR-1 was an "option and Marketing group" that group included the LT-5 like the Z28 camaro's had 302s. You couldn't get a Z28 with a 396.
If it is a Corvette powertrain it could be related to the program that build EX5273 in 1988. EX5273 was a twin turbo V8 concept study. It sold at BJ2009 Palm Beach:
