Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

Engine including headers for $2500. Buyer pays shipping and handling cost.

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

[quote=Skeeter]I have a 1991 ZR1 engine that i am considering putting onto ebay. This engine has been completly taken apart do to a spun main bearing. This engine does not include the computers. Most of the motor has been polished.

$2500

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

who made the headers?

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

not to sure who made them but the is a number on them which is 20941. There is a round green sticker but i cant make out what is reads.

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

Obviously it is main bearing #4 that spun...

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

Hmmm....

It appears to be missing a vacuum nipple on the middle of the passenger side of the plenum. My '90 has vacuum nipples on both sides there at the midpoint of the plenum. Is it a pilot or mule engine?
Where are the injector housings, don't see them in the pics.

The polished pulleys & oil pan tend to make me believe that this engine more recently came out of something other than a ZR1. What's the point of making pulleys pretty if you never see them?

you said,

There is a hole there but dont know why the nipple is missing.
What is a Pilot and Mule?

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

The engine has been posted on Ebay.

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

FY! to everybody, the motor is from a 90.

Re: ZR1 engine for sale
 

There were approximately 49 "Pilot" ZR1's that were made prior to the 1990 debut. They were shown and driven by members of the media (magazine, newspaper, etc.). Most were returned to GM to be crushed, but some were stashed away. A handful still exist today. Occasionally, parts and pieces from them show up in places like eBay. There are small differences between them and the 1990 production models.
"Mules" are GM internal test vehicles that were made to figure out how to shoe horn in the LT5 and also new technologies like Active Suspension. GM never intended that these cars be available to the public, but somehow a few escaped the crusher. At least 3 pre-production Mules were found in a Lotus junkyard in England a few years ago, albiet crushed, but not beyond repair. At least one of them has been brought back to life, here's a link to the story:
