350 CI of Rompin' Stompin' LT-5. DOHC, 4 Valves per cylinder. The most exotic engine ever put in a Corvette.

329 RWHP @ 5800 RPM - 321 RWTQ @ 3200 RPM Totally Stock...Not for long.

They were only installed in the Legendary ZR-1 from 1990 to 1995.

Hammer...awesome under the hood shot!!! :burnout::burnout:

 

Thanks, these motors always draw attention, and this is a very clean example of one. Except the freakin roundy dohicky. That's not stock, there is/was a little check valve under the plenum (for the vacuum secondaries) that fails and that is a temporary fix. Last weekend I replaced fuel injectors and that check valve so the roundy deal isn't there anymore.

I am not familiar with the tuned port motor and effects that degreaser and such might have on it. I can tell you the finish on the LT5 is not very durable and I used GUNK Foaming degreaser on this motor with no ill effects. Stay away from Simple Green though. You might try a small area before soaking the engine down. I didn't leave it on very long. After the cleaning and washing I of course used a combination of the Buttery Wax on the plenum and cam covers and In N Out Spray liberally throughout the engine bay.
