LT5 was designed and developed by Group Lotus. Chevrolet-Pontiac-GM Canada (CPC) Engineering provided concept direction and design input. Interestingly, during the LT5 program, GM bought Group Lotus so, in the end, the design of the LT5 ended up an intercontinental, in-house effort. The combination of Lotus' dual-overhead cam racing engine technology and Chevrolet's expertise in building millions of production line engines made for (quoting Chevrolet's technical information) "a synergistic effort that resulted in a design that was better than either group could have done independently."

Merc in Stillwater, Ok built most if not all of the motors. You guys even built a 87 ZR1 Camaro for the Heritage collection that sold at Barrett for ~$30G best I recall
