I'm happy to help you but Dallas is 4ish hours away. A bunch of Houstonians hang out on ZR1NET and if you post a "help" posting I'm sure you will get a direction. I bet they will want to look at your car in person to get an understanding, before making recommendations.

I've been searching posts about the LT5...waayyy over my head to even assess the most basic things...I'll be looking for someone that can do a complete evaluation and tell me what sequence to start restoring/rebuilding things....IF we deem the car salvageable.

The OP stated that his father loved the car.
So we have an owner that loved the car, and the car has less than 30k miles.
It makes almost no sense that such a car would "need an engine".
Again, it's certainly possible, but not at all probable!
Hope once looked at, it turns out to be an injector or a coil pack, or something else inexpensive and easily fixed.
Best of luck!!!

I just saw this. I'm on the north side of Atlanta, closer to that shop if you want me to take a trip and check it out. Steve knows me.

If you can get the car as close as New Orleans, I can haul it to New Braunfels for you.
Once it is running good, you definately need to sign up for Gordon's School.

Just an update, I looked the car over, Something is amiss with the flywheel, clutch assembly. The car was shipped to Corey Henderson. 
The story is on the ZR1 net.

Get the car to Corey Henderson @ Henderson Performance in New Braunfels, Tx.
