Is the LT-5 the rarest production engine ever in a Chevy?
We'll start with that and see where the discussion goes. |

No. Not even close. But it is the only vette specific engine

Re: Rarety of the LT-5
Couple of no's, but no specifics. I was questioning modern engines, not stuff in the 20's or whenever when they only built 6 cars a year.

Re: Rarety of the LT-5
There were something less than 3500 total Cosworth Vega builds that were released and sold. Those were '75 & '76 MY builds.

Re: Rarety of the LT-5
Are these just examples of existing engines made with different materials. Isn't an L88 an aluminum 427?
