I talked to one of the engine builders that built the stroker motor and am going to pump all old fuel out, remove fuel and oil filters, change and pressure out all the oil, pull the plugs, drain all collants, then start the parts replacements
new RC injectors
check/replace starter
all new hoses
plugs
filters
(tires)
battery
misc hoses in ww system
anything else?
This car has always been garage kept and stored in heated/AC. Lingenfelter, Calloway, and D Rippie all worked or supplied components and it is a pristine jewel.
I am going to be working on it near the U of MD College Park and would like to hire a person to help with its resurrection.
Any help is appreciated.

Well welcome!! Pumping out the fuel....After almost 14 years of it sitting, you should probably play it safe and drop the tank and have it flushed. Depending on how much fuel was in it, may need to replace the take if rust has developed and I would recommend a whole new fuel sending unit in the tank with new pumps. You should probably flush the brake system and change the transmission fluid as well.
I live in Alexandria and am currenly in the middle of my own LT5 stroker build, engine is going together now. I hope to be doing the engine swap sometime in Oct. I should have some free days that could come up and there to give you a hand. We have a pretty good group of ZR-1 owners in and around the DC/MD/VA area and gather often for maitenance days on our ZR-1's, so lots of help is available.
