Picked up an LT5 and ZF - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bob Eyres · 04-03-2019

I love my LT5, but Considering the power to weight ratio, and the expense of integrating it to other cars, and the expense of modding it to modern levels of horsepower. It doesn’t seem like a great choice for an engine swap, no. Matter how cheap you buy it.
For a street rod with an exposed engine, and no real demands for mega power, sure. For a vintage Corvette, I’ve seen a few, very cool.
But otherwise, an LS kind of blows it away, doesn’t it?
