[57belair LT5]

hello everyone!
names scott.
i have never had a 90's zr-1 but loved the motor! think there the best looking motor GM put in a car, and i think that the 1957 belair is one of the best looking cars. soooooo hear goes!!!!


i can get a 91zr-1 crashed car very cheap.my idea is the swap in the lt5/6speed in to my 57belair project car... i know theres alot of work involed with this swap. fab work isnt a problem but im not to sure about the lt5's needs..

i know im new and havent put in my time with you guys!but any help you guys are willing to give me on what is needed and what needs to be swaped over......would be GREAT! pics are of 57 and its frame...... its waiting for that great motor to be sitting in there!!!!! :danci ng

if i get this car and do the swap... any and all extra parts will be listed on here FIRST!!!!!!!!!!! car has 11k miles on it

I seem to remember that the LT5 wouldnt fit into the stock frame without extensive mods. I can give you the email of a guy who put one into a 55 convertible. It used a custom frame though. PM me if you want it.

Great swap ! Plenty of room for the LT5 and enough room for T/T's. Keep in touch.
