Daryl,
I won't know until the quotes come in. I sent requests to about 8 companies.
The LT5 is such a limited market that quantities are low. The more expensive tooling charges seem to be for items with the least parts sold, like the pan gasket. Annual requirements for pan gaskets, front cover gaskets and oil pump seals is almost nil. May take years to recover the development cost investment.
Neat thing is, I enjoy doing this. Nice corresponding with ZR-1 owners I've never heard of before, shipping overseas & answering questions. All the compliments on quality & service are most rewarding. Still, would be nice to get into the black one of these days
