Thanks for sharing that.

Those Corvette Lotus engines are neat. I like how the guy building it said that it costs "cubic dollars" to upgrade an LT-5.

Did the LT-5 have a flat plane crank? I don't think it did, but I'm not sure.

David,

Although it wasn't a flat plane crank, there was a racing LT-5 or 2 that was built with a flat plane crank. Might have been 5.0L versions.

800 hp n/a SB2's and LT-5's...I guess that could give those FE guys something to dream about.

That's amazing! I had no idea you could build an LT5 to that power level.

Plus they look amazing too, especially with the siamesed plenum mod.

Those motors weight about the same as a cast iron big block....wouldn't touch one with a 10ft pole....starter motor is under the intake manifold....British engineering at its finest!
