Haven't heard of or see one.....but it would be one awesome C3!!! It not only would have the engine, but it would have the looks too! I have seen plenty of C3's with LT-1's, and one with an LT-4 though. Seen them at different car shows. I believe there are several people on the forum that have LT-1's installed in their C3.

LT-5 is not an economic swap. Just alot of cool factor. There to pricey and you can now get the same power out of a LS-1/6. I think the going price for a LT-5 motor is over $8,000. used. LS-1 can be snapped up for under $2,000. with a tranny somethimes. I would use you money somewhere else.
