SDPC didn't mention a PCM, but i'm sure it comes with one since i believe all create motors come with one. I wonder if it comes with the dry sump?

I'm thinking the same thing.
I have $3500 in parts in my car and have a shade over 500 crank hp. I do my own labor.
For a $3200 more I can have 500 rwhp. Of course I won't have a 427 and I will have to increase the cubes to get over that but it cuts the price in half.
The tuner 427's LS6 based motors are getting 600rwhp. That will be my decision point if I decided to go bigger. Will a modded LS7 get to that mark cheaper? The jury is still out on that one

Has anyone been able to come up with a viable knock sensor conversion?
I understand LS2 and LS7 knock sensors are a completly different application and not compatable with LS1 or LS6 equipped cars???
What else do we need for a successful conversion?
Custom made headers?
Motor mounts different?
Someone has got to produce a custom LS7 to LS1 conversion kit soon!!!

There should be a work -around for the LS2/LS7 Knock sensors, soon.
Current 1 7/8 " headers will bolt up.
Motor mounts are the same.

yup bigger cam (solid roller will be awesome!!) and maybe the possbility of tweaking out the heads a lil more and it will blow away the 402 for less.

I hope the LS7 block is priced friendly for those of us that have already invested big && in billet stroker/big bore internals.

I have been following (and harassing many vendors) the knock sensor conversion attempts for quite a while. A few Vendors touted an answer but when I put my money on the table and demand a finished product all of a sudden my calls and emails are not returned... I believe we will be waiting longer than we think (or want)....
