I wonder how many HPs stock LS1 engine(stock pistons, rods,crankshaft) can handle if I mount 2 turbochargers 1000-1200hp? Should I mount oil injectors for additional pistons oil cooling ? as it usually does on turbo engines? what is RPMs red line for stock engine(head)?
Also, As far as I know LS1 engine has aluminum block, with single camshaft, that means that there is some HP limit for such block.
As I was told, there is another great American engine - 4.6L V8 DOHC 32-valves with iron cast block + supercharger, it is installed in Ford mustang COBRA 2003 in stock. I suppose that iron cast block can handle much more HPs/torque.
Do you know is it possible/difficult to swap COBRA's engine into corvette c5?
I think you should chk out Hinson motorsports. They had a silver c6 with a turbo'd ls motor, I think it made like 1500+hp. Made for one hell of a crash at the texas mile.. My point is that a motor like that will make you forget the oversized cobra POS you are lookin' at.
looks like, yo dont know 2JZ-GTE well, this engine 3L displacement with stock iron cast block with stock pistons,rods, crankshaft, oil pump can handle up to 1000hp! I don't know other stock engines that can handle a power 3 times bigger than factory power 280HPs.
1st of all a Duramax diesel can make 1000hp on stock block pistons and rods too.
diesel is not interesting at all, I am talking about gasoline engines only.
2nd of all I think I just died a little on the inside when I read about a cobra motor in a corvette.
why do you think so? the name of engine and where it was installed does not matter to me, I need an engine to be 4.6-5.7 L, cast iron block and 4 valves per cylinder, DOHC, lower compression ratio. Engines that were installed in corvette do not satisfy my needs. If you are going to force engine much, you need to think about it.

Small displacement engines can make HP but little torque to back it up-maybe that's why you don't see these little turd motors in Funny cars or Top Fuelers.
For the $$, the LSx seriers of engines can't be beat. Go make your monster car-the story might get interesting then.
Since you don't like the Vette's running gear and only the body, I say AGAIN-drop the body on a 1000+HP-1000+ft/lb of torque monster truck with 4 wheel drive. Since you would have to start from scratch with a Vette (none of the driveline will do what you want, you may as well start with one that does and put the skin on that you like.

smal displacement engines can make the same torque or higher, but it needs more RPMs and boost than big block engines.
I dont want to build a drag monster, I just want a fast car for regular roads. Any RWD corvette will not be able to reach 4wd corvette on regular roads without a big/non-street tires (slicks).

1000HP on regular roads??? The current ZR1 is capable of over 200mph-what else do you need for REGULAR ROADS? Hope you like spending time in a Siberian Prison for speeds like that on REGULAR ROADS.

do not wonder, on 4wd car with 3L+ engine that's norm, one of my friend was running on 4wd car with 1200+hp: 2jz-gte + gt45r turbocharger on regular roads well.
we are living in different countries, that 's why you cannot imagine what Iam talking about.
PS. you are lucky, I am living in Siberia, I am from Russia.
why do you think so?
yes, that was my first thread on this forum about C5, that I was submitted recently.
Btw, you can ask admin of that forum to check IP-address I am writing from, you will see that it is Russia.

SURE! I guess you and your buddy Boris can do so Ice road drifting up in the great white North. Post pics of your Frankenstein cars. better yet, maybe a video.
I am going to purchase corvette in the next year, dont know how long it will take to legalize the car in russia, because importing such car (5.7L) will cost much in russia ~ 40.000 dollars of Taxes.
that's why i am looking for a way to import it as a parts(car body separated from engine) to avoid such big import taxes.
Once I will start the process of mounting 4wd and engine into c5 corvette, I will try to post info on this forum.

aight you lil un-American-Eskimo. The corvette is a legendary and venerable AMERICAN car. in America we have these things called trucks. people who need 4 wheel drive get trucks (with cast LS engines), people who want to go fast and make imports look like uninformed idiots get RWD corvettes with huge displacement motors made for cruising down the AMERICAN interstate system, and still get good mpg's. try that with you're lil turbo'd 'yota engine, yea the supra's are crazy fast and i like them, but those engines are already strung out when you buy one new (10 years ago). if you want a real answer look up the test that HOT ROD magazine did a few months ago. i think they put like 20 psi of boost to a 4.8L LS truck engine and it made well north of 1,000 hp with twin turbo's.
but if you want a vette dont even think of screwing with an American icon and putting a FORD motor in it. the good boys in bowling green, Kentucky and Wixon, Michigan might get a lil p'd off. not to mention watch for lightening if you put a rice-burner engine in it, pretty sure that will set God almighty off
hey it's hot here in Florida, can i borrow some freeze from ya'll i think my 5.7 will enjoy the super-dense air
anyway good luck with whatever hair-brained scheme you try, watch out for the black ice.

You may as well just buy the body parts and put them on one of your other Frankenstein cars. Cheaper and easier than what your planning.
