We are starting to build a LS7 427 for my Road Race Car. I needed a Dry Sump and AC which scrapped my original plans of a 402.
We are going to document the whole build on the ECSRacing website if anyone is interested. It will also include the coilovers, brakes, Kirkey seats, etc.
Should be fun to follow along with.

I researched the living crap out of the best LS engine builders in the Country and here is the email of the professional hand building himself my forged LS6 blower motor as we speak.
erik@hkracingengines.com
He takes his time with the engine builds and is very busy, but his prices are great, his workmanship is better and he really knows his sh it!
He is a master at building N/A motors and can build you a 427 utilizing an LS7 block, darton Sleeved LS2 block or L92 block with longer stroke or new iron LSX block.
Tell him Jim P. from Chicago (whose motor he is finishing up right now referred you).
His name is ERIK KOENIG of HK Racing out of Houston Texas and phone number is 1-713-722-7000 and responds best to emails. He can work you out a great quote for an entire bullet proof LS based 427 and his reputatin is second to none, and he is a very nice guy and will spend countless time explaining things and options to you although he is very busy! He gets many motors back from some of the bigger LS tuners who churn them out and end up having issues that he has to fix and he personally checks all clearances of the motor himself (and many of the shops that tell you they will do this do not as they just can't justify the time and expense). He builds racing motors for many professionaly teams and racers also and his motors can be built to handle big doses of N20 if your into that laughing gas (which i personally am not).
