Default 2000 C5 FRC with LS7
Thought someone might be interested in seeing the end results of my LS7 install. I know there are several of members als doing this swap on their C5's. Yes it took some time and $ but it sure cost a lot less than a new C7!

Everything actually went pretty smoothly. Only one minor difficulty with clearance at rear of motor with the FAST intake, but LG Motorsports worked with me on that and got it taken care of.
