Default LS7 Crate Engine Has Arrived!

Hi All,
We received one of the first LS7 engines today. We are one of the allocated dealers to receive one. GM made 139 of them and we were lucky enough to receive one. I had already taken a 5,000 deposit on it a couple of months ago.

Just wanted to let you guys know they are starting to trickle in. I've talked to my GM rep several times about getting another, and we'll see. If I get another I will let everyone know. Hopefully our customer tells a little of his story and gives us some pics and HP ratings.

Gene

How Much? How Much? Can you shoe horn it into a C5? Inquiring minds have to know. Wouldn't that be a blast. Thanks for the heads up by the way.

What is the buyer putting it in? Bet that is going to be one killer car.

A "modified" C5 to say the least

I'll be posting the progress of the project on our website once we get started..

Hi there,
We sold the engine for 12,595. The least expensive price in the US.
