My advice, for what it is worth, Buy a ZR1 and enjoy it. It will be much less work and expense. I have a vert and often fantasize about putting a LT5 in her, but there are so many little things that seem to be difficult to do. The cost will also be up there. This has to be a project of passion not an investment.
