Last LT5 was put in a Corvette in '95. Federal law mandates replacement parts be made for 10 years following end of regular production, so at the end of this year parts production might stop. Not to mention that was a Mercruiser boat engine, in use since that time as well. Replacement parts won't be a problem. Expensive, since the total number of ZR1s built didn't clear 50,000, but they should still be findable.

I was just looking for engine swap ideas and found this. I call bullshit, 4 years later.

1st number is bore, 2nd is stroke

305 = 3.740" x 3.48"

350 = 4.000" x 3.48"

I'd take the 305, personally, because it'll rev quicker.

You are a fool. the extra .26 bore unshrouds the valves and allows MUCH better head choices.
