LS7 GM Crate Engine Reman or New??
Are GM LS7 Crate Engines all new internals or are they actually remanufactured ??
Also, anyone have an idea of Wholesale Cost from Dealership ?
TIA

They are new.
The question however, is are they 'seconds', that did not meet muster for finding their way into a production vehicle.
I've seen more core shift in 'crate' engines, than those that came out of a production vehicle, over the years, for me to be skeptical.

Crate Engine Depot shows the LS7 crate engine #19244098 at $17,128.3 retail and their price is $12,895.
Personally, I wouldn't trust anything coming from GM, and would look at a motor built by an aftermarket shop like Texas Speed and Performance.
TSP has a 427 LS7 long block or a 441 LS7 long block for $10,874. More for upgrades, etc. + shipping.
