Now I know.
Oh the rope..Thats a Kent Moore rope $1500 on Ebay..The guy threw it in for free. The plenum is not the weak link its fuel rail lines and the ignition module and every thing else the rope is wrapped around. But that rope has been on the there for the last 15 picks before i owned it so figured if there's any damage its already done.

So I started the tear down the motor today and I?m starting to believe this maybe a low mile motor. It really was not that dirty and the VIN records say it was low miles when the car was totaled. Somewhere along the line someone rapped it of a few parts.

Coil tray
Compressor
Alternator
Starter
Wire harness

I may have one of the local experts stop by and check it out for me this weekend and give me there opinion on the mileage.

It?s been an absolute Blast to tear down this motor. I?ve learn so much about the LT5 this weekend and when I board with working on the motor I just jump in the Z and go for a ride.
