With an LT5 going for more than some vehicles, the article (while not expressly saying so) is suggesting that a C4 ZR-1 is worth less than the sum of its parts. I strongly disagree with this. This is THE car that brought muscle back to the Corvette and put it on top of the performance world REGARDLESS OF PRICE.

That is an NOS crate engine though, never been in a car. It may not be worth $20k but I'd say it's worth quite a bit if it is legitimate.

In the nineties GM price was $25,000.00 for an LT5 crate engine.
Cam covers were $5,000.00 each.

I was at Dooley and Sons (high end custom shop) just outside Magnolia , TX on Wednesday. I had a client's 1990 ZR-1 in there for AC flush and recharge. Jeff told me he had a good friend that had two crate LT-5's that he bought years ago. I asked if he would be willing to sell. Jeff said he he wasn't sure but would ask.

I'm wondering if this is one of the two...

The crate in the picture is not the original crate. The original crate is made of strips of wood with spaces in between. Sort of like a picket fence.

They’re coming out of the woodwork, heck there’s another one on Facebook in the “LT4 - LT5” Group for $22,500 in PA. With the softness in the market for these cars in general and the fact that 405 hp is nothing special these days l don’t see these engines getting that kind of coin. For that kind of money in your project car (non-ZR-1) you can have twice the hp. And for a Z owner that wants an engine refresh or even improvement they can send it to Marc, Pete, Demps or Cory for less and end up with more hp on their own numbers matching engine.
