Looks like a ZR-1 body to me. 13” wide fikse wheels, and not sticking out. That rear plate looks waay wide.
If it has a new crank and liners, it has to be at least a 385c.i., could it be a 415?
But with so many errors in the write-up, you can’t tell what the hell it is.

Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale January 14th 18th, 2015 at Russo and Steele's 15th Annual Scottsdale Arizona Auction. Please contact us for more information.1991 Corvette ZR-1 Black Widow DRM 600 The only thing better than a 1997 Corvette ZR-1 is perhaps a 2008 Corvette ZR-1. Even better than that? A Doug Rippie modified 1991 ZR-1. This Corvette is indeed a Doug Rippie Motorsports-modified 1991 Corvette ZR-1 with just under 30,000 original miles. It is one of few ZR-1s nicknamed the Black Widow due to the black and red finish of the LT5 engines built in partnership with MerCruiser and Lotus. The original owner had this ZR-1 modified at Doug Rippie Motorsports. The DRM600/1G package starts with an LT5 350cu inch motor with displacement increased to 368 cubic inches, oversized cylinder liners, JE pistons, Oliver rods, DRM intake, camshafts, Ported cylinder heads, Ported plenum and injector housings, K&N air filter, Modified air filter lid, 63mm throttle body, topped off with a Custom computer calibration. To further add to this performance increase, Watson ceramic headers, Borla stainless exhaust were added, along with a single mass flywheel, 4.09 rear end gear, aluminum radiator, and Fiske aluminum hand-built wheels that are 11 wide up front, and 13 wide in the rear wrapped in Bridgestone tires. Wilwood 6-piston brakes, coilover suspension with a lower ride height, polyurethane bushings and a roll bar help manage the handling of this Black Widow. 6-point harnesses ensure that the driver and passenger are kept safe with this horsepower and handling. This engine spun the dyno to the tune of 546hp and 488ft/lbs of torque.CAR FAX AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST INQUIRE WITH A CONSIGNMENT SPECIALIST.
