Default LT2 on C7 base

This has been discussed before but nobody made the LT2 fit. I saw a c7 overseas with it fitted and Wilson Manifolds offer a LT2 spec for c7.
Anyone got an update on how to make it fit?

Waiting for a response from both overseas c7 and wilson

I am sure anything will fit with some little engineering.... I think the main issue is the height and the back at the firewall? I could be wrong though, but you'd defiantly need a taller hood.

Looks like a Kuwaiti shop got one working? There's only a super brief glimpse at it in this video. It doesn't look like they made any dramatic changes to the cowl. Can't tell if the hood is modified or not.

If I was going to try to put a different engine into the C7 it would be the LT6.

I don’t think he’s talking about the entire engine, just the intake manifold.

I found their Facebook page. It's pretty out of date though. The C7 video above is actually from 2021. They've got a few cars with American license plates on their page. Might be worth reaching out to see if they speak enough English to have a conversation.

Their Instagram page looks a little newer.
