LT5 Motor #011 Data To Look At
I have access to an early LT5 engine block. It has #011 stamped into it and also hand written in paint pen (Scrapped 12/87). This shoudl be a PhaseI or PhaseII block. It is built for simplex chains.
Just a few numbers... Block 10090511 Block hand scribed 12 23 87 53076 10090508 Could this be the 11th LT5 produced at Lotus? I will chack my Progam Status report for further data.

Re: LT5 Motor #011 Data To Look At
I checked my Program Status Report. It looks like this was the 11th PhaseII engine block. There is some data in the report for two factors.
I knew that book would come in handy one day for something.

Re: LT5 Motor #011 Data To Look At
Any idea where those prototype blocks were cast?

Re: LT5 Motor #011 Data To Look At
Could it be one of the 350 hour durability test engine?
The chart Engine Test Bed Hours - 1987 has engine no. 011 being used for "Chevy 350" which I assume to be the 350 hour durability test. ("page" 3,002) Later on "page" 7,005 there is a description of engine 011, build 1, phase 1 on the engine test stand. Start date 9/12/86, removed from test bed 12/3/87 after a broken timing chain. 92.66 total running hours and a few problems along the way! |

That was one of the data points that I found in the Status report, also. I hope you like the Report. Pretty cool stuff, huh?

The PhaseI and PhaseII blocks were cast in the UK, according to Geoff.
