2003 Ls7
I don't think I've seen anything this pretty. Williams Performance did the install. The only mods are A.R. Headers and a Vararam. It's otherwise completely stock. It's converted to wet sump.
The car drives like a dream and has lots of B_ _ _ _S. The torque is great so I've been able to lower the TC lockup because of it. You can tell I'm really stoked.
My 364 will go up for sale next week when I can get some pictures.

Very clean install 
My LS7 will be installed in about a week or two with RPM level 5 A4.
It is not a crate motor, I had it built from bare block so I could use C5 reluctor gear.
How well did the coil covers fit? Did you have to mod them to make them fit?
I was thinking of cutting a hole in coil cover for oil filler cap but it looks like maybe the covers will clear cap
It must be a blast to drive

The fuel rail covers fit fine. But the oil filler on the LS7 valve covers is shorter. The C5 filler is too long. It was a struggle to get the driver side cover on because of a tab on the cover toward the driver. I snipped it in half and the braided fuel line goes right by the tab now. Look at picture 5 on the right of the fuel line in the hole. It's a jagged cut. I'll get to it. :o I like them so that I can get some gawking from those that otherwise wouldn't know it's a 427.
The torque is amazing. You can lower shift points and TCC lockup making it real comfortable to drive, even with 3.90's and a PT4000.
Mines a level 5 too. I suspect we'll need every level we can get.
Good luck!

That's a terrific looking car. I can't imagine the work that went into it.
Do you show it?

Thanks.
An LS7 crate motor with the C5 reluctor wheel conversion and wet sump is something I'm interested in. I sure would like to explore this further.
Could you IM me with more details?
Thanks,
Robert

Headers.
block taped for LS1 sensors and wires extended.
btw, I think you meant injector harness adapters above instead of coil pack
throttle body wiring adapter.
crank and cam sensor wires.
air bridge tube to TB extended.
1 or 2 hoses blocked off.

There's not much more to it. Here's what I remember about the differences other than wet sump and reluctor.
Headers.
block taped for LS1 sensors and wires extended.
coil pack adapters.
throttle body wiring adapter.
crank and cam sensor wires.
air bridge tube to TB extended.
1 or 2 hoses blocked off.

We have a small cam installed and dyno'd just over 530hp/508tq if I recall correctly. Enjoy your new toy btw, I think you meant injector harness adapters above instead of coil pack
