So, just for giggles, what is it worth to you as as a buyer?

Not much....
The Bride would never let me put it in the living room with a glass top for use as a coffee table.

From the text: "The engine you see here is thought to be the first production engine for the ZR-1". What do you think, Graham? --Bob

Maybe if I powder coated the cam covers to match the curtains?


What do crate engines have for serial #s?

Guys,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all the replacement LT5s '93's?
And didn't the replacement engines have a different serial # sequence so that replacement engines could be clearly identified as such?

I guess I'll have to go re-read Heart of the Beast.
It'll be in there somewhere.

I have Crate Engine X307020003......maybe that will sort out the IDs of Crate Engines.



Post 272 - Crate Engine

I was thinking the 93'-95' LT5s are all identical engines......except I have a 95' with double Dunn Heads.

So with all this discussion about the LT5 crate engine, did anyone notice the story on the coffee table below it? We've seen LT5s serving to hold up glass tops, but this one has a B-17 9 cylinder radial as a base! Here's the link:

https://silodrome.com/b-17-flying-fo...-coffee-table/

It sold in October at Sotheby's October sale for $16,800 plus commissions. --Bob
