Can’t argue with the first engine covered in this video but don’t know about the rest.

That IS Pete

Based on credits in that video, it was David Johnson's Car and Video Provided by David Johnson

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....

I saw a bit of blue ( probably a hose) and forget you were/are ZZZRFUN no Dave

HE did give you credit for the video.. so not stolen, just repurposed

The LT5 is absolutely the most fun and most unique (if some of the boys would not destroy the fun by eliminating secondaries) of all engines.

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
