    "Long Live The King" Part One...

    Never read what Peter Cook had written. Reading it, however was really wonderful and certainly described how I have felt driving my 92ZR. There really is nothing like it and since 1997, there has been an enthusiastic community of owners that continue to push the envelope on the LT-5 platform...

    Is a C7 Corvette ZR1 Truly Off the Radar?

    Hib, I suspect you may be onto something. Watching the 24hr last week, I wondered WHY was the Corvette name all over a mid engine prototype? Hmmmmmm. And I absolutely believe that a hybrid is the way to go even supplanting the need for turbos. Maybe a bargain basement McLaren. I think you will...

    Is a C7 Corvette ZR1 Truly Off the Radar?

    Rob, The ZR-1 coven would be upset if they called an OHV motor an LT-5. Maybe GM could get Mercury Marine to do a lightweight version of the 9L motor. YOU really need to drive a modded LT-5 to get why our group is as enthusiastic about DOHC AS WE ARE. LT-5s were right at the top of pack for...

    Shinoda start

    I see the specs now. Mine was a Comp roller single pattern 218/218 @.050 w a .538" lift and a 108d LSA. Stock 350 bottom end w stock forged pistons. I was using a ported Xfire manifold, TFS 23D heads-64cc chambers, and 2.13" TBIs w 80# 454 injectors. TPIS headers w Random Tech Cat and Magnaflow...

    Shinoda start

    I did the ZF conversion on my 84 some years ago. One of the best mods I did IMO. 4+3 is no comparison. I used a Fidanza FW w a Camaro LT-1 disc. Used stock master cylinder w ZF slave and braided line. Bell housing bolted right up to the CFire. In addition to the trans-plant, motor was modded w...

    Question: 84 Vette bouncing

    If it's a Z51, the steering was very quick. BTW, if your using the original GY tires, they're very darty and ride ridges in the road.

    84 crossfire need help

    Draw a line on the front of the balancer across both the inner and outer hub rings. Start the car and see if the lines continue to align using the timing light. If not, the outer hub ring is slipping which misaligns the timing mark. So you end up retarding the timing. I replaced my balancer w a...

    News: 2014 Winner: General Motors 6.2L LT1 OHV DI V-8

    No question Chevy has done w the OHV motor what Porsche has done w a rear engine chassis configuration. Both have wrung out the max from each. However, if you look the 10 Best Engines is dominated by OHC architecture including the Cruze Diesel. Just sayin. Having said that, I'd love a C7 Z51.

    News: 2015 Corvette Z06 Details Leaked!

    I would agree. This appears to be similar to the C5Z06 coming out at 405hp which was on par with the C4ZR-1. They likely have a number of ZR1s still on the lots.

    Rob, Your LT-5 needs just a bit of massaging. You'll be the one sucking doors off.
