Once the awsome LS7 goes on sale, what would it take to put it into a 2000 SS. Just curious of what it would take to complete this task and would it be worth it?

 

It's going to be limited production and cost more than your SS. Have an aftermarket vendor sleeve you an LS2 block, get a rotating assembly and build your own for much less.

 

i think VRE makes a 427 short block....big nasty cam, nice AFR heads, FAST intake....

 

A big friggin check-book....

 

Well gmpartsdirect.com has 4 of them. each for a cool $15,500. That's more than i payed for my 2004 truck.

 

damn, costs as much as my whole car now..... ill be happy with my used camaro engine w/ 400 hp+ i doubt uv maxed out your current engine lol

 

how bout this...professionally installed and everything.

What would I expect on average at the rear wheels on power output with any one of those 427 set ups. just curiuos of the lowest output to the most extreme output. Also I do most of my driving on the street so of course I want to retain a streetable car but be able to eat anything on the street and track!

 

With an M6 car 550rwhp is pretty reasonable.

 

Would it be wise to upgrade to a 12 bolt for safety measures?

 

hell yes it would be a good investment to add a 12 bolt.
silly billy i cant see you going to far with the stock rear end and that much power.

 

Thats affirmative, some kind of aftermarket rear end will be neccesary. I'd say a 12 bolt with a posi unit and 33 spline axles would fit the bill nicely.

 

Nick

you've helped me in the past with some info...so i don't want to sound like i'm trash talking you.

but the site i listed was installed and dynotuned....not sure if your price is or not. granted $2000 is alot for installation of an engine and dynotuning, but still.

although i see your setup includes the FAST intake...which is pretty sweet and i'm sure is great on such a big cube motor.

 

Our price was not installed or dyno tuned but we do chage less than $2,000 for those services.Also we are not comparing apples to apples with these to packages. I am not saying there is anything wrong with their engine package but we have some upgraded parts in ours that unfortunately ups the price. We have a Callies Racemaster crankshaft instead of Eagle 4340,Callies I-Beam Rods instead of Eagle H-Beam, F.A.S.T 90mm intake instead of LS6,and so on.
