Re: LS7 offered as crate motor
Damn, I'll have to give my 1st born and my right nut.

This makes the GMPP 383 Shortblock, AFR210 heads, & Holley Stealth Ram with Gen7 DFI look Cheap. Hell you could add a blower and still be cheaper.

Unless it's for bragging rights, not worth the money... IMO

I trust the reliability on the LS7 A LOT more than any tuner engine.

And you should at 17k!

hp/$ is terrible though. Even if it is N/A and Reliable.

It's a great engine, but like Meccadeath said, you'd have to be a Rich to justify the money.

Re: LS7 offered as crate motor
The ZL1 454 was over $25K. I don't understand the issue. It's a hand built engine and it comes with everything to install it, including the computer, no?

BTW, this info is at least a couple months old.
