Re: New Merc DOHC crate motor
oooofffff dah!! 1600 hp is a nice round number
and the LSX fits into the ZR-1 pretty good like to see what those LSX DOHC heads cost put those down on a 6 bolt LSX or better still LS Next alum block and you are ready for those hair dryers even with an LSX iron it might come in pretty close to the LT5 in weight with a nylon intake boost a muv!

The 9.0L QC4V is not an LSx w DOHC heads. The 9L is an MMR motor. The LSx heads are a separate design.

and a big TT beast at that! but for sure I know this really is a "boat motor" due to cost, size and weight. the MM heads for the LSX block are looking promising, but I'm worried they might be a bit too pricey for me.

With the current cost of the FRC the heads might cost you more than the car. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Co...m=221970894621

Re: New Merc DOHC crate motor
indeed. I bought a turn key TT Z06 for cheaper than the LSV or what LPE charged for the 4 TT ZR-1s they built.
even the later c5 Z06s are prices very cheap and now the TT c5s are down below 30k which makes them hard to beat if the setup was done well I've been very happy with the TT Z06, it's a great car.
