1988 LT5 Program Status Report
When I purchased EX5023 from Geoff, he gave me a lot of documentation. One such piece is a Project Status Report, dated Jan 1988. I have attached a copy of the index for review. This is quite a piece of LT5 history. One day, I might copy it. It's really interesting reading.

Re: 1988 LT5 Program Status Report
Wow, that is very interesting that the best BSFC is at 2,000 RPM, not the lower RPMs the car cruises at. Wouldn't that suggest a 4.10 car would get better cruising economy (though reality says otherwise)?
Also, they spelled "Program" wrong...

Re: 1988 LT5 Program Status Report
Started reading in depth and found some really interesting data. Engine development for each of the first 75 or so engines. Also a few sheets that show which vehicles were matched up with car PY numbers. Here are a few more pictures. Also data for failures and component failures as well. Even the report on the very first Phase1 engine produced.
THIS IS VERY COOL STUFF

Re: 1988 LT5 Program Status Report
Neat stuff.
It appears that the P8Y028 to P8Y046 are narrow bodied prototypes. The only LT5 from the list of Engine numbers I have a hit for is LT5-018: From AutoCheck: UK Registration: D142FPW Make/Model: Chevrolet Corvette Color: Gold Imported: 10/16/1986 Engine Number: LT5018 Seen here:  Read HOTB pages 86 and 87. It talks about a test drive to Sweden.

Re: 1988 LT5 Program Status Report
Would that car be the one that Keith Beschi has the remains of? He owns the yellow 86 with the Phase1 engine.
