Gentlemen,

Does anyone know the GM part number for the LS7 block?

Is anyone selling the block, and what are they asking?

We have tried ordering one from the dealer with no luck. They cant find the part number in their books.

I think that's bare block, not a short block.

Thats not a short block its a bare block.

I spoke to my dealer contact, and the ls7 block is in the as yet unreleased gmpp catalog. There is no price, but my guess is $4000-$4500 due to the fact that the block has pressed in sleeves.

If you shop around you can sometimes find big discounts. I got mine (this same #) for $5100. Note that the C5R block you buy under this # is a wet sump version as opposed to the dry sump in the LS7, another reason its easier to use the C5R if you are building up an engine yourself. It comes from GM in a lovely wooden crate labeled "7-Liter LS1" on the case and the certifcation sheet inside, not "C5R," to denote that it will in fact take a stock LS1 oil pump, pan, etc. You can see a picture of a completed engine at:

And in answer to the standard question about the engine, the coil packs were relocated to under the front fenders, so that you can see the Katech high rise rocker covers - they were too pretty to keep covered up.

Why not look at the World Performance block? It can be bored just as much and cost a couple thousand less than the C5R block.

The C5R Block is intensively race prepped by GM Racing

Yeikes, At these prices i think i'll stick to stock displacement. Wish i could afford to dish out the big money.

The price INTENSIVELY prepped too!

I just pointed out another option, that costs just a bit more than a sleeved block and quite a bit less than the Battle Tested C5R block. Good Luck!
