Complete opposite side from Corvette.
Maybe this is the prototype LT4 for the F body cars.

Also in the picture it is clear that this prototype engine has an EGR valve. Something LT4's do not!
So is it a real LT4?

Yeah, I read it again (as hard as it is too read) and see that now.
Also quoted from the ad:
most likely about a 10,000 engine, was asking less than half
no wonder my father in-law told me of the day they put that corvette test mule against a 405 hp ZR1,
and it tore it up,bad-he said it was at least 250 to 300 feet behind it in the standing mile, so much for 32 valves
