Re: Merc Racing DOHC LS7
Impressed ! That 11.7 to 1 compression ratio had better have a quick monitor on it to avoid big problems even with premium fuel.
Leave it to Mercury !!

Re: Merc Racing DOHC LS7
Had seen this as well. Great looking platform.. While we love our LT-5's, if we get to a point where we simply run out of options, it would be one heck of a new face for the ZR-1! What transmission options are out there I wonder.. Would need to figure out some revision to the C-beam or see if the ZFS6-40 could be seriously beefed up and mated to this new DOHC.. Interesting to think about..

Re: Merc Racing DOHC LS7
Pretty cool. What's old is new again. Interesting ls1 coils (I remember Dom trying that out) and cam drive belts? Nice find Phil. GC

Re: Merc Racing DOHC LS7
Amazing how compact the engine looks on the stand. Wonder what the price tag is?
