i don't know if this is true but is their a lt5 out their???

 

Yes.... and it has nothing to do with the LT1 or LT4. It was a custom OHC smallblock for the 4th Gen ZR1 Corvettes, designed by Lotus and built by Mercury Marine in Stillwater OK. Tempremental, several design flaws, and grossly overpriced because of the limited production and complete lack of aftermarket part and replacement parts.

 

nice fred. no one can describe it better.

 

thank, i need to know about it!

 

Google.

 

still cool as hell though

 

they sound absolutely amazing, for those that have heard them in person

 

A kid I know, dad has one. Apparently they are ridiculously expensive to buy parts for. But it's a bad *** motor and looks awesome.

this will probably tell you all you have wanted to know just by typing "lt5" into google

 

i wonder if it fit my car???

 

back when a 4 cam V8 was exotic...bad boy had a helluva tone

 

Not even close...

 

ahh...i always had a soft spot for the old zr1's now i wanna see an lt5 retro fitted into the f-body:fact

 

one came into the dealer where i worked and i cost them like $600-700 to just buy spark plugwires!!!!!!!!!it did have some get up for an older car though.im proud to say i've actually driven one lol.

 

LT5 will not fit in a f-body. Way too wide to clear the shock towers. As to reliability, the LT5 itself is virtually bullet proof, the issues come from the accessories, which are also what limit it's rev range. Also, the fuel pumps were known to fail semi frequently and were really, really expensive to replace.
