From ebay ad...."
This is a very rare and unique opportunity first time ever offered. This is a Lingenfelter-enhanced/Pirate Racing/Auto Masters 1990-1992 Street Skinner LT5 engine assembly, ready to install. This engine has been completely freshened (07-07). This engine was one of the backup engines for the famed Pirate Racing team which competed very successfully in the Speedvision World Challenge GT series (numerous poles and podium finishes). LPE fully ported the entire top end of this engine package and CNC’d their logo into the plenum. This 350ci engine, then equipped with SCCA legal camshafts, made an incredible 600 HORSEPOWER!!

This package consists of total upper end porting and polishing of the cylinder heads, injector housings, plenum runners, throttle body, and air horn assembly. This aids the engine in upper rpm breathing and results in significant horsepower and driveability increases. Throttle bodies are thoroughly cleaned, inspected and adjusted. The troublesome secondary port throttle blades are also removed from this engine to achieve even better engine breathability. These OEM camshafts are precisely timed for maximum torque and horsepower outputs. Custom prom calibrations are available (see below). "

It was funny. They (SCCA) gave the small blocks 1/2 inch lift with their cams so I asked Graham if we had the same what could we make as far as a special cam and HP numbers. He just laughed out loud!!!! We got the cams....

What happened was we took the engine to Rippie to set in the chassis and after we left he took the car to a dyno to see what it had. When he saw 500 at the rear wheels he freaked out. He was building our other C4 and ended up doing an illegal stroker 383 just to get close to Graham's LT5. Cooper drove the C4, took the pole and won the race. Scotty B. our driver, qualified 4th but had an argument with a Camaro on the back stretch.
I 'spose if you wanted "documentation" you could just call Rippie....:-))

We put OEM cams in a custom timed them per our package. There are some nice cams around though. We can install, etc for you if requested.
