I now have one more
Just picked LT5 up today 1991 with 36K miles
Including Bell Housing, Clutch, Pressure Plate, Flywheel. And including Oil cooler hoses, thermostat housing, and everything under Plenum.
And also including the ECM (with chip) and Wire Harness.......and...and...also bought the Transmission.
And some other stuff like the Cluster, Climate Control, and Bose (including the bezel and full power switch).

Happy New Year

I am getting pretty fast at switching engines and may just switch engines from time to time to see what they will do
Especially now that I figured out how to remove and install the LT5 with Headers attached.

Like Plenum removal....got that down to 10 minutes which is also a lot of fun because now messing with the starter, coils, vacuum system is an hour job from start to finish and that is why I use NO Loctite on those Plenum Bolts and nothing on the Plenum Gasket (have TB coolant blocked at Injector Housing on ALL LT5s)

I do not even torque the Plenum Bolts more than hand tight. I just check them once in a while to make sure they are not getting too loose (they stay tight using Stat-O-Seal washers with the rubber gasket). I check them when I am filling up with gas

But then again.....after I mess with the starter, injectors, secondaries, and vacuum system the first time I am finding they function for ever perfectly.

The LT5 is the most fun of any engine I have ever worked on for sure
