Happy Independence Day All.

Gene,

Few questions. If I sell my car in the future I may get the LS7 motor.

Does it come with the dry oil setup? if not how much?

What else is needed to make this work with a C5. Do I assume we need a new PCM?

Is there a GM warranty with the motor?

Do you only have a certian amount of motors?

When are they available?

Thanks,
Jon

Granted, an LS7 would be way cool!

But.....when common sense and reality are factored in......that's ALOT of money and most likely ALOT of addtional modifications (and more money) to make it work for what is "only" a 430-440 rwhp setup.....

I believe adding a supercharger and a few other mods will net you the same HP. I entertained the thought of having an HO 502 big block installed in my 68, but by the time all the necessary hardware was factored in, the cost became prohibitive. My advice: Get all the facts before diving in.
