GM Performance Parts 427ci / 505hp ''LS7'' Engine



GM Powertrain, using valuable data gleaned from the factory-sponsored Corvette C5R racing program, developed the LS7 with many competition-derived components and design features. It takes production small-block performance to an unprecedented level while demonstrating the continuing adaptability of the engine's compact, cam-in-block design. It is, quite simply, the largest, most powerful production small-block V-8 GM has ever produced.
Specifications:

505 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
475 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4800 rpm
7000-rpm redline
Unique engine block with larger 4.125-inch bores and pressed-in cylinder liners
Forged steel crankshaft with 4-inch stroke
Titanium connecting rods
Cast aluminum flat-top pistons
Racing-derived CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads with titanium intake valves and sodium-filled exhaust valves
Dry-sump oiling system (does not include lines or tank)
11.0:1 compression ratio
Camshaft with .591-inch lift
Hydroformed exhaust headers with unique quad flow collector flanges
Each engine assembled by hand by a single, specially-trained builder

Retail on this engine is 17495.00

No sales tax on this one either!

I agree a pricy toy, if you want to play as the saying goes!

Thats actually a pretty good price. A friend of mine got his LS7 for 13K from a GMPartsdirect a couple months ago and I'm pretty sure they've raised the price since then.

I sure this is for the crate engine only. Wondering what it would cost for the installation into a C5? Can it be done And what problems would there be? Mark

How much for the lines and tank, so the engine could actually run?

I was wondering the same thing. What other mods would need to be done inorder to slide a LS7 into a C5 and make it purr? PCM swap, etc.

Inquring minds would like to know.

Overall, sounds like a nice deal with shipping and all, if you have the $$$

Not that I'm going to ... but if I put one of these in my A4 ... wouldn't I have to change the transmission, and just about everything else in the car? Probably would have $25K or so in it by the time I got though. Might be better off to take my $30K '03, plus the $25K, and get a new Z-06? I'll try that logic on my wife ...
