Try Ian Goss in Surbiton on 020-8391-9090, he's got plenty of experience looking after a number of 'vettes and other American cars around here and should be able to help you.

Got any specifics? Is it iron block or lsx? Is it a factory car or some sort of a conversion?

The engine is a mid engined race car (road legal). It is a ZR1 iron block that was highly tuned by the manufacturer.

Thanks,

This makes little sense.

The ZR1 is a designation for a 90's fourth generation corvette. The engine is all alloy, 4 cams and 32 valves.

The engine itself is an LT5 - so what you have does not fit standard convention. There is no iron derivative as far as I am aware.
