      Re: 1992 Zr1

      I want to verify if it is a 375 or 405 hp because I heard that some late production engines were 405 in 92. I tried to see the serial number but it is hidden by the alternator and motor mount. If I had the build document I would think it would show the serial number

          You can order the original build sheet & window sticker for your Vette from the Corvette Museum. Check it out.

            Peter, why pay Heckler's $19.99 when you can get it from the NCRS store for $16.00?

                I have the original widow sticker but it doesn't list the HP of engine. Also I removed the tank sticker from the car gas tank and it doen't list the engine serial number or HP either.

                Thanks

                  You are 100% RIGHT, Dick. I lost my head; sorry.

                        I have no information that any 1992 ZR1's were equipped with 405 HP engines. However, that doesn't mean it did not happen. Easy to check, though: look for the engine identification number which is found on the left (driver) side of the engine on the lower block rail, just above the oil pan.

                        If the suffix code "ZAA" is found, then you have a 375 HP version of the LT5 engine. If the suffix "ZVC" (or, some other non-ZAA suffix) is found, then you have the 405 HP version. I'm betting you'll find a "ZAA".

                          I agree. If a late 92 ever got a 405 I think it would have been later than VIN 454. Like Joe said, the numbers and suffix are easily read on the block rail by the pan.

                            Here is the specific information from the Corvette Black Book:

                            1992 ZR1:

                            BHP = 375
                            Engine Suffix = ZZA
                            Block # = 10153558
                            Head Casting # = 10174389 (LH); 10174390 (RH)

                            1993 ZR1:

                            BHP = 405
                            Engine Suffix = ZVC
                            Block # = 10199001
                            Head Casting # = 10174389 (LH); 10174390 (RH)
