I think this is a killer swap idea. You gonna make it happen Skip?

I didn't know there were any in the works already.

Don't want to say yes until I know for sure. Certainly leaning that way.

Here's a couple of the LT-5 swap builds..

'67 Camaro

Eckert has done 3 LT-5 swaps it looks like. I like this LT-5powered Ferrari Daytona Spyder clone they built.

Lingenfelter modified the intakes this way...looks awesome in pic #2.

Original

This is a LPE 415 cid stroker...now some builders are doing 441 cid versions.

Siamese runners?

Is there another PCM option other than the archaic one used to control them when new?

Yes, I found someone that has an excellent rep and they have done a few.

That LPE 415 cid LT-5 above did these numbers.

"Dyno testing (2006) showed 576 corrected rear wheel horsepower through the mufflers (in ambient air temperature of 101 degrees)."

The leading LT-5 tuning guru nowadays is Mark Haibeck and he updated that 415.

Very cool. Yeah those LPE runners looks rad!

**fleetus macmullitz** · #7 06-24-2009, 10:44 AM

Yes Flashy Camaro guy, there is much radness in this modded intake.

That thing would look good under any hood...uh maybe not under the hood of a used van.

That motor would make even a used van cool. Go for it if you can, it would be a killer when done. What chassis are you thinking of using it in?

Do you mean 1st or 2nd gen Camaro, Chevelle, Tri-Five etc?
Or did you mean all Camaro chassis options like AME, DSE, Speedtech, Jake's, Chassis Works, AirRide etc?

I have always liked the LT-5 motor from an aesthetic point of view. It doesn't hurt that it is very capable on top of that.
