Engine Build Sheet

[ghlkal]

Yeah, I know this has been discussed ...


In reading this article https://www.hemmings.com/stories/202...ign=2022-04-01 , one of the comments posted was:

Bought one new in '91, the mark-ups evaporated by then, cost was still high. One of the best cars I've ever owned. Very fast in the day, still can hold its own. GM sponsored a special event in Stillwater when the LT5 production halted. The two-day event was known as ?The Thunder at Stillwater?. The event began with seventy ZR-1 Corvettes escorting the homecoming court and cheerleaders to the Oklahoma State University football stadium where the Corvettes were arranged into a giant ?LT5? on the field. GM presented all who attended the Engine Build Sheet for their cars engine at the events closing dinner. Also attended the Corvette Museum opening in '94. Bought a Brick engraved with the license plate I had on my car - MITY ZR1. Those were good times!

So, these owners got their Engine Build Sheets ??

Yeah me too. There is a car Build Sheet and an engine dyno sheet (not available to the public) but I never heard of an Engine Build Sheet. Weren't all the engines built the same, other than the car's VIN being stamped on each and the 93-95 engineering changes? --Bob

I reached out to the listserv and a gentleman named Tom was kind enough to share his knowledge about this. He was at the thunder event and sure enough they did give out build sheets for the engines. The sheet they were given has the engine number, the year of the engine, the build date, the crank serial# the cylinder case #, piston grade among other things. It's super cool to see that these exist and now I need to track mine down somehow.

edit: it seems the ncm has them and the dyno sheets

You can still order your BUILD SHEET (and window sticker) from the NCM:

I got mine a few years ago, laminated (a copy)
of them and display them at car shows.

It's the dyno files that are stored at the NCM which we have been
unsuccessful to acquire. THEY are the Holy Grail. We have had
numerous discussions about getting the sheets. GM is afraid that
a specific engine might not be up to specs and GM might be sued.
Why won't GM release them when that GM doesn't even exist anymore
(Bankrupcy, new company.)
GM lawyers are still scared. So still, no luck.

The engine build sheets are probably in cardboard boxes stored next to the cardboard boxes that contain the dyno sheets on a shelf in the back room of the library at the NCM and equally unobtainable?

Next to a box that is labeled " Area 51- Roswell- Corvette Design"

Count me in.
I'm old and big, but stealthy.
Cannot think of a better cause.
Love these LT-5's
