Developed jointly with Lotus and built by Mercury Marine (the boat motor people), this 5.7-liter aluminum, 32-valve V8 same 4.40-inchbore center spacing (for standardization purposes) as the venerable Chevy small-block. To maintain this distance, the bore has beenreduced from 4.00 to 3.90 inches, while the stroke has been increasedfrom 3.48 to 3.66 inches. Aluminum cylinder liners that are lighter than steel areNikasil-coated, and the externally-ribbed block has a cast-aluminum oil sump and lower crankcase assembly whose integral four- and six-bolt cast-iron mainbearing caps secure the forged ssteel crankshaft. Up top, the LT5's four camshafts are driven by a roller chain (Gilmerbelts were considered, but discardedbecause they would have made the engine too wide to be bottom-loaded into the Corvette chassis on the Bowling Green as­sembly line) and actuate hydraulic lifters that eliminate valve lash adjustment. The four-valve combustion chambers feature cen­trally-located spark plugs (for reduced flame travel) and aredesigned to act in con­cert with dished aluminum pistons with an 11.0:1 compression ratio. To ensure that all of this very elaborate (and expensive)machinery doesn't self-destruct for lack of proper lubrication, the engine oiling system holds 12 quarts, 7 more than the pushrod V8.This car has selective ride control which 13 different settings of dampering which are adjustedable and can change from speed and road conditions zf German 6sp transThe car has a valet key which can turn this corvette into a normal corvette with the turn of keyPower key off 300hpFull power on 375hp4.3 0-60 and 12.6 in the quarterThis car will be a true collecter car one day and is loaded with great history this car was dynoed at 343rw at Henderson performanceHe is the lt5 guru and gave mine a clean bill of health when I first got ItI'm sure I left something out so if u have any questions call me at 2108432616 mark
