Re: WTB LT5 Engine
Not quite true about having to use the ZF transmission. The bolt pattern is different but it is only the one bolt at the 2 0'clock position ( facing the back of the motor). I think this bolt is different because there is a head bolt in the way. I have a T56 bolted up to a 94 LT5 and a friend has a C5 torque tube and T56 bolted up to a 90 LT5. It is true that the LS engined will be cheaper and parts are easier to find but to me they are pretty ugly compared to the LT5! Good luck with the project!

Re: WTB LT5 Engine
Check out this LT5 in a '55 Chevy.
It's over on the Corvette Forum: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1392406 Talk about fabrication. This guy really_really_really did a fantastic job with the frame and suspension.  If money is no object miracles can happen. TomC '90ZR1 #792

Re: WTB LT5 Engine
Two more cents from the apprentice Z owner....I think the idea about buying a well used & inexpensive ZR-1 might be an idea worth thinking about.
If you didn't fall in love with the car and want to restore it if it was rough at the edges you could part it out and keep the drive train for yourself. You might even cover some of the transplant costs with the sale of the parts. Just a thought.
