Dropping LT5's into other Cars - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bob Eyres · 08-08-2013

I was just reading the other thread on used LT5's, and looking at the Ebay pic of that entire front end, (sans bodywork), for sale.
It got me thinking about what cars,or trucks, would be the best candidates for a ZR-1 front end under their ancient bodywork.
My favorite would be a pre- 55' Chevy of some kind, or an early Chevy truck.

I've driven an old split-window coupe with an LT5 in it. It was fun as hell, but no match for a real ZR-1.

So, what is the best example of this kind of vehicle you've seen, or thought about?
