I suspect ch@0s will like this video..

Very nice. I have a friend who works at a local dealer who lucked out and scored a LS7 long block for $1200. The catch was #3 rod suffered a spun bearing. Owner didn't want to worry about teardown and wanted a brand new engine...right place right time, I guess.

Very nice. I went with the LS376/480 GMPP engine instead of the LS7 due the difference in pricing in 2010: $9,000 vs. $27,000.

cool project but I think if I had that kind of money to do everything he did id just go looking for a c6 706 for not much more then the cost of his motor. He could have started with that and supercharged it and still had less money into it and could still get his money back a couple years from now.

It's not always about the money. It's like the old saying, "Why does a dog lick his _ _t$?-------Cause he can! There are thousands of C6 Z06's on the road, all relatively identical. How many of these do you think there are?

C4orce2

I agree with arbee. When I had the LS376/480 installed in my '92 it cost me a bundle. I could have easily bought a stock C6 Z06 instead but my wife and I wanted something unique, not just another C6 Z06. We got it. I cannot find another C4 anywhere with that engine in it and it does very well in car shows, even against C6s. On top of that my car actually has similar hp and better tq numbers than a stock C6 Z06. As it is tuned now it produces 429 rwhp and 442 rwtq on a loaded dyno. Of course we cannot get the power to the road, but it is there. We are very happy with our choice. Just my 2 cents.

Ouch! And I thought modding an LT5 to a 427 was expensive!!

Oh, and I totally identify with the "uniqueness" attraction. (Course the added "sleeper" performance aspect ain't too bad either!)

Very nice, Got me dreaming of an LS7 .

One of my favorite vids.
Imagine how many cars this thing has suckered since it's build.

Sounds sweet, pulls hard. What more could you want?

I'll stick to CF...

C4orce2

Well not so sure about the "sleeper" value since my car and the one on the video sound nothing like a C4. Hard to sucker someone in once they hear the car.

Lloyd Smale

you guys have a point. Ive had custom rifles and custom revolvers built that cost 4 times what a factory gun costs. guess its a matter of getting what you want.

Nice, it sounds great.

That's a nice build. 427 LS7 motors can now be bought new for 13K-14K
