Wow, although it's supposedly a Lotus design, I never knew that MerCruiser was the one to machine and assemble it! Amazing video and I especially like how they have a ZR1 pulling the "Wet-Vette" boat that MerCruiser installed an LT5 into!

I read that the new LS1 engine has connecting rod bolts rather than studs. I also hear that due to this fact you can upgrade your bolts and forego having the rods re-bored. Is this true?
