LT5 hybrid
My previous post was in error. I'm referring to the LT5 in the ZR 1 corvette. Could you put the bottom end of that motor in a first generation block and just resleeve it to a 3.9 inch bore?

The engine as a whole is not my concern. All I want to know is can the crank be placed in a first generation block. If it can, the rods and pistons can be made to work. I don't want the cam, lifter, or head system from the LT5. Just the crank. What I want to know is can it work or not? I ask because I don't know #%^& about corvette, gen II, or any of the new fancy stuff put out. I want to build a 3.66 in stroker in a gen I block. One that will cube out to 360 or damn close. It's a racing thing. I ask you guys cause you know these engines and I don't. Can it be done?

just get a custom crank, it'll be easier, and will hold up better than what your asking.

Dirt:
I'm fairly sure that LT5 parts are not compatible with the other 5.7L (or any other size, for that matter) Chevy V8s. The DOHC LT5 is a ground-up engine designed by Lotus (and manufactured by Mercury Marine). Even though the displacement may be similar to the Chevy small block, the engines have nothing physically in common.
