Thats a sweet *** find!!!

ig109

Yep Its complete too....

Brand new still has plastic tape sealed up and desicant bags in the exhaust ports for moisture..

Not sure what to do with it though, they arent easy to find, i got this one CHEAP but i know what its worth so do i make money on it or keep it and build something with it.. Or do i keep it knowing that they are only going to get harder to find??

Ive got an 86 El Camino that would be sweet with that engine in it, but it needs alot of work to be worthy of such an engine.

I have to buy and build a new frame for the el camino, i had already planned to update with wider track width and rack and pinion, now im thinking about doing a full corvette suspension on it and dropping on the LT5..

You'll never find one like that again!
The grand sport is the only car i ever knew it came in.
Woody allen put on in his 96ss impala and it was a freaking rocket ship!

I think i would find the right buyer and sell it. Can you imagine the cost of parts?
You could make big bank on a find like that! Is that a ZF 6spd?

Check for a EGR valve. If it has one it's 405hp.
If it doesn't it's a 375hp

The mythical LT5, badass man! Sell it to some Vette nut for the original ZR1 package price and buy yourself a new drivetrain lol.

Yeah, i ran the numbers on the phone before i bid and chose this one (guys estate sale and he had 2 sitting there) .. it is a 405 hp built on 11/23/93. the 405 hp ones were 4 bolt main (375s were 2) and the 405s had better heads, pistons, cams, and a different ECM..

I can imagine the price of parts, i am a vette nut myself, always wanted one of these and now its here.. Just kills me thinking of getting read of it.. but prolly better off..

But just think, if you had that engine in something, that would be it... you wouldnt have to drive the hell out of it, just sitting still it would be cool.. I would put it in there and start collecting trophies from shows..

Yes its a ZF, also brand new.. got it for REALLY CHEAP, for some reason they waited until sunday afternoon to sell all that stuff and by then everyone had gone home..

**** Bro take it to barret jackson or meccum Auction there are some millionars that have the extra money to spend!!!

Plus u can say u've been on there if the vin numbers were never specified for a vehicle then im thinkin it might be worth more as you have it now untouched and uninstalled..
