Default Forged LS7 shortblock

We are now offering our forged LS7 shortblock on an out the door basis. This is a must have item for anyone doing a high boost S/C or Turbo build, that needs to lower compression and replace the brittle Titanium connecting rods with high strength steel units.

We use high quality Callies H beam rods, and you have a choice of Diamond, Mahle, or JE pistons

Full details on the shortblock assemblies can be seen here:
http://www.lmspeed.com/index.asp?Pag...PROD&ProdID=86

We can usually turn these around within 2 weeks, but if you need it faster, just let us know when ordering. This is the same shortblock assembly that we are using in our current 800 hp TT ZO6 build

Please feel free to let me know if I can answer any questions,

Wow, great price. Would I be able to drop this into my C6 and reuse all my other stock components like the heads and intake?

Yes you can reuse all your factory LS7 parts.We would like to know your desired comp. ratio (N/A, F/I) in order to assemble the engine with the proper pistons for your application. Please feel free to call us at 260-724-7792 if we can answer any other questions for you.

Thanks,
Rick

After reading your post over, I think I may have misunderstood your question, the short block is based on customer supplied LS7 core.This item requires customer core shortblock assembly to be shipped to Late Model Speed, where we dissassemble, machine the block, re-balance your factory crank for the new pistons and rods, and re-assemble.
This item must be shipped by truck freight. So with this being noted this particular application would not work for you as a complete drop in and reinstalling your stock heads and intake. However we could accomodate a stroker build on your LS2 engine. Upgrades would include new crank,rods and pistons. Once again of course this would require
your block being sent to us. All engine work done is using the customers existing block, at present time we do not have set pricing for complete build crate engines. I hope this helps in any confusion that may have been created. Again, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Rick
