I'm going to eventually need an LT5 for my 90 that I bought without a drivetrain. Since LT5's seem to cost as much as an entire car these days, I got curious and searched Ebay for a Northstar, since it resembles an LT5. They are plentiful and a dime a dozen.

Now, would I actually drop in a Northstar? Doubtful BUT I do like to be different than everyone else. If the Northstar was already a 500+ HP motor (and it's not) my $3500 1990 ZR1 would actually be a consideration just for shitz and giggles. The car will never be a high dollar car anyway and I do have another Z for driving.

Reality is...........I'll be on the prowl for an LT5 over the Winter for the 90. So, NO NORTHSTAR for me.
