My research says yes. I'm thinking about going LS7 at some point. People here have put LS1's in their cars. I believe you can even use the same engine mounts. Any of the experts want to chime in?

I dont know if you refer to the old big blocks or the new small blocks. If you mean big blocks, then LS6s were a factory option on '71s and a LS7 was also factory option in '70 but it happened that none were really equipped from factory (I dont know the real reason, maybe no body was interested to pay much more for such motor?), but I do know that one forum member got a beautiful green C3 with a GM LS7 motor in it.
If you mean the new small blocks, I have seen a lot of LS6s transplanted into C3s, but I havent seen any LS7s so far, but I am sure that someone did it somewhere.

I live in the UK, but i want back to my homeland (i'm polish) sooner or later. I love my Supra and I would keep her, but she is Right Hand Drive, so i have to sell her because I wouldn't be able to use the car to its maximum potential in LHD country.
I'm looking for a new, decent toy. My mate recently bought tuned (all bolt ons, cam and tune) C5 Z06 and after a test drive i fell head over heels in love with the car. When i was a child C3 Stingray was my dream car.
So the option are:
1. Import tuned (400-425rwhp) C5 Z06 from USA
2. Import stock C3 Stingray, restore the car and put LS6 or even LS7 inside.
Thanks for info.
