Default New LS7 motor
No it is not mine. My brother in law is building a 67 with a SRIII chassis and he thought the LS7 motor might be a nice addition to it. I just loaded some pictures of it on the C2 section. Here is the link http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...post1554766146

Well they are 500+ stock so with good exhaust and a possible cam swap approaching 600 should be no sweat.
