and i gues nobody has heard of a zr1 corvette, that motor is straight out of one well basically, and jsut like he said yes you can swap the 4v heads to a push rod engine, what you think gm did.
i like his car and give him props on building a sick ass all motor vett and a old one at that, i bet that thing is pretty dam fast, probably traps over 130. and i know there are lots of fast cars out there but i want to see a 4cyl honda that is that fast drive it every day, i bet it will not last a week,
It was a WRX or so he said... Maybe this all could have been delivered alot differently than being cocky about it and claiming to have the car to end all. I backed off hence I started reading about the LT5, but I still have difficulty finding literature that supports DOHC heads on a pushrod engine. The block design might have been close to the LT4 specs, but not even the zr-1 registry and mercury marine could state they used an LT4 short block to start the design of the LT5. They came as close to indicate some similarities to the L98 short block's design. That was it.
I dont feel bad for the guy... If he's able to sling the shit out, he must be able to take it back in too...
*note* I better keep a look out for that blue shark... I'm sure he'll be lurking around Riverview looking for scooby one day...
