Default LS7 Crate Engine Arrives!

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

And we will do just that

My sidekick has been working with Gene on this purchase all along. He's been great to work with and I look forward to doing business with him in the future. Thanks again..

It is a long block and sold for 12,595. The least expensive price in the US!
