first production ZR1 engine serial number
I am trying to do some research on when the first production LT5 engine started, i figured a good place to start is if anyone know what the serial number for the first production ZR1's engine is.
i have read from some sources that production officially started on July 13 1989. edit: never mind found my answer later in the book Last edited by jeepsrdreaming; 05-24-2018 at 04:55 PM. |

Re: first production ZR1 engine serial number
so the reason I was asking...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wette-Vette...19.m1438.l2649 in the pics he indicates he has other LT5 engines. from the info he sent me he showed a few development engines and 1 engine with serial number: X90711 0000 with it, it was claimed it was the first production LT5.. the built date of 89 07 11 predates the 0713 triplet what he is asking for that engine is a bit much for me, not to mention if usch an engine will have any collectors value. so if anyone is interested, should reach out to him via the ebay. who knows he might be in this forum somewhere.. he stuffed one of them into a 63 split window. |
