Notice how we've reversed the intake as the power drives to the rear but wasn't enough space with the firewall.

Buyer beware when dealing with that seller.

[-=Jeff=-]

Buyer beware when dealing with that seller.

Why is that? I have not purchased from him, but I remember when he was selling headers he told me to call Mike Ebert for the info on them

[Jeffvette]

Why is that? I have not purchased from him, but I remember when he was selling headers he told me to call Mike Ebert for the info on them

He was also selling a 368 short block that was "bolt heads on and ready to go" needless to say it was not stored properly and the liners and pistons had rust all over them. I will let the purchaser tell the story.

[cuisinartvette]

Ugh, I remember reading about that one.

:redface: shhh, dont tell anyone!:eusa_shhh lol. no i would LOVE to see this car in person let alone ride in it.after seeing this car ,chris i too wish i had enough cash to build one of these exactly like this one . what a ride

[Robm3]

is the motor stk , how much does the car weigh ? what trans did you use ?how fast is it ??????

The motor is stock but always looking for cheaper power, car weighs around 990kg wet.
Trans is a strengthened Porsche G50 5 speed, have to use this due to the transaxle requirement.
Speed wise it's geared to a max of 170mph not sure of acceleration but figure in the right conditions (dry & warm track) it'll do 0-60 in high 3's low 4's.
It's set up for track work though, with additional coolers and spoilers set for max downforce.

[Robm3]

Just some more shots of the car:

V6 number plate is because the car used to have a V6 Cosworth twin turbo but prefer the ZR 1 block!

[WB9MCW]

[Chris_32212]

Hey guys, Robm3 asked me about power upgrades for the LT5 and I told him he came to the right website but then i realized he is in the UK. I remember there being a 415CID ZR-1 owner over there but i cant remember who he was. Anyone remember? That would be a great person for Robm3 to talk to about what upgrade parts are available over there.

[WB9MCW]

Yep He needs to hook up with Gixer - ZR-1Cliff and the gang.

Here is where they all hang out >> http://www.corvettechat.co.uk/

It is part of "Piston Heads"

Here is the reg page >>> http://www.pistonheads.com/members/new.asp?lid=2027554&p=WCGKSK9S

Another good UK place to hang out >>> http://www.corvetteclub.org.uk/

[Bell Curve]

^^^^ why send him to other forums when this is the place for ZR-1's

~Ah, I think I got an email from this chap a while back (Gixer) but lost it when I changed Laptops. Thanks for the info... (I'm on Pistonheads pretty reguarly as well). There's an Ultima forum that's pretty good.

Also found out there's another Ultima being constructed with an LT5 in it (that makes 2 in the UK). The owner came over to take a look at mine on the weekend and told me that the chap who built his engine worked on the original design for Lotus in the UK, the motor is tuned to put out around 480hp. I'll get the owner to get me some photos and I'll post em up.

[UKZR1]

Hi Robm3. Welcome to the forum. I've only just got around to reading this thread, not been on any forums much lately as I was up to my neck in decorating in December:( ....all done now though:)

I did receive your photos you sent me. I also hosted them and started a thread on here http://www.zr1netregistry.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7282

Just noticed your profile says you are in Sutton. I'm only up the road from Maidstone so not very far at all. Cliff is in Bassingstoke

[djpatrick35]

WOW! Nice choice for your GTR's powertrain! Welcome to the forum!

[Robm3]

Ah yes, didn't finishing typing and so should read Sutton Coldfield, which is about 120 miles away (that's British miles so heavy traffic all the way inbetween for the American's reading this)....

[UKZR1]

Had a feeling it was. Seem to recall you saying that on a previous email.

[HADI-ZR1]

Not sure of you seen this vi.

That's my old LT5 in the GTR. Swapped the motor out with an LS2 so the new motor owner took a video and posted it up.

Cool to see it running again. With hindsight I probably wouldn't have done all the work swapping the LS2 in (it's cost me around US$16K). Hey ho...

[FU]

Very Nice Rob ! Me likey ! Is the car quicker with the LS2 as compaired to the LT5 ? It must be much lighter and handel better.

[WB9MCW]

Hey Rob post some Pix of the new engine transplant.
