91 VD Built 368 ZR1 FOR SALE

[alnukem]

I bought the car. I figured it would be a perfect candidate for a Big Block Chevy Swap that I have always thought about. It had a big rad, big brakes, coilovers, HD Trans & 11" wheels. I have a complete 496 BBC engine sitting in my garage already. I thought I might try tinkering getting the LT5 running right. I asked about the ZR-1 wheels, he said they were sold previously.

I did not beat the guy up on price, as I thought he took it in the shorts on this project already.

I am only posting this because I think we should not bother him, as I think he would like nothing better than to totally forget his LT5 foray.

Thanks, Tim

He offered and promised to sell me the wheels in Technical Post, My Last Effort, 4/7/14, post 8, whats in the dark will come to the light

You are going to put a big block chevy in that ZR-1????



But hey, its your car...just my opinion.

Alnukem,

If you decide to let the complete lt5 go I'd be interested.

Dom, This is something I totally don't understand. Most of the conversions that I have read about have been mid-80's. probably due to the cheaper price of the earlier cars, they are very unloved. I know Lingenfelter did 3, I think they were 90's vintage cars.

I was going to put my 496 in a 70 LS5 car & was looking at using the "FAST" system, which is a stand alone, self tuning system.

If I can get this thing running correctly relatively easy, I probably won't even consider doing the BBC swap.

This was one of those things that I was going to do when my time was not so important, probably 3 years out. It just seemed like the perfect candidate at the right price.....an opportunity.

Any offhand suggestions?????? Thanks, Tim

ECM and FI? 1250 Dominator.

Tim, I like this idea. I have the perfect candidate and a 572 that is two hundred or so pounds lighter than the LT5.

ZR-2 BBC I like the idea.

Robert.....The Tall Blocks just aggravate the fit. Although, you can get that in a standard height block, it just max's everything out.

If you're interested, let me know, I studied pretty good on it & have a bunch of links if you want.

They say a aluminum headed, intake & water pump BBC is only 80 heavier than a standard SBC.

I think after a certain horsepower, a BBC is downright cheap compared to a LT5
