Central Fla LT5 mechanic

[Mike H.]

First of all, I have been an NCRS member on and off since about 2000. I have a 91 ZR-1 that I would like to have looked at by someone who can work on LT5's if needed. The car is extremely low miles and has been covered in the garage for way too long. Before I start the search for a new owner I'd like to have an expert check everything out. Suggestions for someone to look at/work on my pride and joy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Evolution Motorsport Engineering in Tampa is well thought of by many 2nd generation ZR-1 owners. I, personally, have not had any dealings with them.

I understand you're looking for someone in C FL but, knowing that, I still always recommend Marc Haibeck @ Haibeck Automotive Technology in/near Chicago.

Add: The folks at the Musclecar Museum in Melbourne own and care for many 2nd gen ZR-1s. They may have a recommendation. It would be awesome if you entered your 91 for judging at the upcoming Winter Regional, at the museum. We would be honored to judge it.

Mike,

Couple of things to check:
1) fuel pumps - if car fuel tank was not kept fuel, the fuel pumps could be rusty and need replacement, which is not a big job.
2) fuel injectors in a 1991 are not rated for ethanol fuel and can fail if ethanol fuel is used.

Good luck getting your '91 ZR-1 back on the road. They're a lot of fun to drive.
