Z06 crate mtr or ??????????
I am thinking about replacing my 97 LS1 engine with a complete brand new 04 LS6 long block from Fred Beans for about 5400$ shipped
IS there any other alternative to this, maybe a bigger displacement motor or any other TUNER/VENDOR will sell me a package for a simular price, and good street reliable motor??????
Thanks

According to the July 2005 issue of Corvette Magazine (page 10) GM Performance Parts will start selling the LS7 Z06 engine as an over-the-counter item in August of this year. Each crate LS7 engine will be assembled by hand in Wixom, Michigan. Also, GM Performance Parts will offer LS7 components such as crankshafts, rods, heads, and titanium valves individually. No price was given in the short article.
That equals 500 horses right out of the box...

Depends upon your cam selection. But it will make more than you really need.
As far as the LS7, I don't think it's going to be that cheap, and does it also have provisions for a oil pump system, rather than a dry sump?

The word is that you can get a crate motor as soon as the new Z06 hits the street. http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...05-P930C0.aspx
