ZR-1 parts availability; actually better than TPI - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

You know when it comes to finding parts, building the Callaway and finding TPI parts has been an bigger PITA than the LT-5(that has alot to do with the group here)....also the wiring on the LT-5, layout and consistency of what fasteners are used is much better than the TPI setup, overall I think the LT-5 is actually an easier motor to work on....

Oh man... I know you will come up with a solution as talented as you are.

I personally like the idea of having a reason to drive the beast as said above by BFR.

I think owing a Twin Turbo and ZR-1 is the ultimate combo. While I'm working on the Callaway, I can always drive the Z
