Eight of the Best American Performance Engines
Can’t argue with the first engine covered in this video but don’t know about the rest.

Re: Eight of the Best American Performance Engines
Well... "Stolen Valor?" That video with Pete Polatsidis working on an LT5, I can say for a FACT was Kevin Costello's car and the LT5 was one of Pete's FBI 441 cid creations; NOT Johnson's car; I know, because I shot that video and posted it on YouTube years ago!).
And, unless DJ also has a red ZR-1, the only claim he has to either video clip, far as anything to do with his car, is credit for lifting it off of YouTube. This is the entire video.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16iaXnsz48 The burn-out video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay-CvUSrhbk

And most reliable is the LT5. If only the boys and girls would know how to replace the complete vacuum system excluding the pump (in less than 30 min) for less than $100 90'-95' (I "repurposed" the 95' vacuum system to fit a 90') Post 234 - Installation of New Secondary Port Vacuum System Lines Dave is a friend and sold me a couple great new ZR-1 windshields Happy New Year guys and gals
