LT5 Installation (WAZOO Team) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

QB93Z · 05-31-2014

Phase 1 of Yun's (Second Chance) LT5 installation was completed today by an enthusiastic group of ZR-1 owners. The event drew ZR-1's from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New Jersey.

Tom, Rich, Yun and Glenn positioning the LT5 over the engine bay. Dempsey is under the car to guide the engine mounts onto the frame:

Lowering the rear of the engine to allow aft movement so the crank pulley will clear the frame rail in front of the engine:

After the engine was in the car, we began Phase 2 to install all of the wiring, the hoses and front end accessories and the drive train.

Stay tuned....
