Re: New LT5 Crate Engine $7500
Jerry,
I noticed the same things as you've mention. One thing is the oil filter, looks to me to still be the original. And no clear indications the throttle cable clamps have ever been installed on the plenum. But then again you look closely at the paint on throttle body and it clearly appears to be lifting at the cover plate edge. Regardless of the good price I think in this case prudence dictates a thorough firsthand inspection to clear up any uncertainties prior to any purchase decisions. |

Re: New LT5 Crate Engine $7500
The first photo clearly shows the bell housing installed.
For the sake of comparison here are a couple photos a Peoria, IL Chevy dealer sent me of a 95 motor they were selling a couple of years ago   Notice the plastic bag Jerry mentioned Last edited by Jagdpanzer; 03-19-2010 at 11:43 PM. |

Re: New LT5 Crate Engine $7500
Is it just me or does it look like one of the intake runners (front drivers side) is caved in?

If so this is a cast in feature of the later 93-95 style plenums to allow clearance for the throttle cable in the area where it connects to the TB. The right pic is of the ealier 90-92 style plenum.

Re: New LT5 Crate Engine $7500
I just got the high res pictures of it..
It's not the new crate motor, it's the take out. Mostly likely a Chevy dealer went out of business and this was sitting around. The pictures clearly show oil/dirt in the wire loom, fuel rails, under water pipe....... |
