Wow!
But probably not for use in salt water?
But then again, it does have fresh water cooling via heat exchangers?
Those wet SS headers are a work of art!
This would certainly round out a ZR-1 collection!!!

The headers cost more than the current bid price. Heck a used Bravo 1 is worth the price.

This could use an IMCO SCX (speedie) lower unit. $$$$
Because of the high rpm nature of the LT5, you’d need a real light boat.
BBC’s are hard to beat in most go-faster marine applications...
(even with only 2 valves per cylinder...)

Yep, I had the tow boat for a BBC fitted race hydroplane, watched many races taken quite a few rides in various hydroplanes, the BBC boats, they run!
