Default LS7 Engine Pricing/Availability Update

Hi All,
I hope everyone had a wonderful safe and happy holiday. I just wanted to let you all know that we received 2 LS7's and sold them within 24 hours. I sold them @ the old price of 12,595.

GM raised the price January 1st and I should be selling them from the 13,200 range in the future.

If anyone is interested please let me know now so that you may get in line. I should be getting more towards the end of this month.

Thank you,
Gene

Still not a bad price for an engine like that.

You can get the rest of the Z06 for just $53,000 more.

Funny that they can produce extra engines ,enough to satisfy everyone,but not enough ZO6's to even curb the appetite of half the people that want one! What is wrong with The General???I suppose it's because they can't get wheels for them!!!

I wouldn't think the sales of crate engines get figured into their CAFE numbers.

In addition to the engine,what else is needed to make the swap, including labor at your shop? Any estimate of value for a 5,000 mile 400 HP version on the open market.

What else would you have to change to get it running?
New Computer - wiring harness - other stuff?

A lot of hassle compared to just buying the Z06.
