So I have a "new" 56,000 LT5 engine in the garage. Build?.sell?..... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

oricale · 08-30-2014

So, I have this engine now, breaking it down trying to decide what colors, what things to repair remove replace etc.

This engine is out of 1990 #1687

I've added pictures from the time I got off my truck until now breaking it down.

Other than sitting in rain for two weeks, other than a few parts needed, no real problems whatsoever, clean no leak present.

So, now I am trying to figure our what I am going to do with this engine and what I am going to use it for.

Question: If I was going to sell this engine when completed what colors would be best, opinions please.

So, moving with the mount and breakdown..

Got a bit done in 3 hours!

a few notes:

Engine was running as of may 2014 at 59,000 miles

4 broken bolts (drilled and pulled)
engine is clean oil wise(no leaks that I can find)
Rubber hoses and vaccume was F%$ked!!!
secondaries and starter show corrosion.
It came with all the plugs(elect) and flywheel as well as ECM chip.
only damage is from a forklift on the oil pan.

still deciding on color(may go with chrome powdercoat)

There are places that apply the Permastar finish that Edelbrock uses
Awesome looking finish supposed to be durable too.

oricale · 09-01-2014

Do we know of any shops locally that does it??

phrogs · 09-02-2014

Where did it come from?? Because I don't want to buy anything from them cutting the harness like that! That's a $500 bill it's self wtf???

oricale · 09-02-2014

Yeah, I Don't know why they cut the wires the way they did.

Johnny, you would buy and sell any ZR1 part anywhere don't talk!

I want to try the permastar but I want to find a local company that I can talk to when doing it, I am prepping all of the parts now for powder coat.

Most of the engine is pretty clean now, still prepping... I'll send pics here in a few minutes.

I also think I will sell some of my "rare-ish" parts to recoup some of the money for the Engine.

I have already prepped the Plenum and IH's for water bypass.

I am utilizing the new secondaries from the white car's engine for this one, since the old ones off this engine or so corroded and Untrustworthy.

oricale · 09-03-2014

Here are the pics:

Engine is cleaned top and bottom and you can see the plenum being prepped for water bypass.

Yes...that is a broken bolt...I had 7 of them,...All out except for 1 that is fighting to the end(broken EZ out and all.....

Dempsey,
Try out Classic Powdercoating, tel: 301-948-5993 located at 423 E. Diamond Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 28077. They did a good job on my brake calipers. Just watch the speed cameras right before the town...they are well hidden and I never saw them but got a nice letters and photos in the mail..they got me both ways!

oricale · 09-24-2014

Been a few, But starting to get the motor back together, had it powdercoated extreme-chrome and did my own lettering,...

I red-anodized the fuel rail, I normally do this in gold.

I bought this 1968 convertible, and I am CONSIDERING dropping the LT5 and a ZF6 into it.

NOW, I cant find a 1968/1970/1971 with an LT5 in it. If anyone can assist in this build with some knowledge, that would be great, if not,...I figure it out..

Extreme chrome finish looks beautiful!
