5 is False, The modifications were to the Heads and "Valvetrain" not necessarily the valves. Also, Platinum Sparks Plugs and an electrical EGR system.

Using an all aluminum cylinder block and heads, the Lotus Engineering design (along with Chevrolet) featured state-of-the-art four valve per cylinder double overhead cam heads. This made for an engine that produced 375hp. Power went up for the 1993-95 models to 405 through manifolding and valvetrain modifications. The engines themselves were manufactured and assembled by Mercury Marine, in Stillwater OK. The completed engines were then shipped to the Corvette assembly plant at Bowling Green, KY for assembly into specially modified Corvettes.
