Under the parts tab is the pdf catalog.
No R07 crate engine. That is something a Nascar team would build up using a racing block and heads from GM. In the small block and head sections of that catalog you'll see the R0X block and heads. A team like RCR or Gibbs would use those to build up an R07 engine to Nascar specs.
Similar to the current SB2 Nextel Cup small block, you can buy the block and heads from GM. Then up to the engine builder to build the engine.
A complete cup engine is likely more $$$ than your first house and lasts about as long as a birthday party. Not really many applications other than a Nascar race.

GM Performance is coming out with the LSX engine for engine builders. I don't have all of the information available yet, but they say it is to take your LS series engine to the EXTREME. It is a small block and is suposed to be capable of handeling up to, get this, 2500 HP.
I have information on order and will post as soon as it arrives.

And it looked killer to boot.
The LSX block looks to be the basis of my next project for my 1971 Chevelle, sometime next year.

Michrider stated his opinion regarding price and then says "and will last as long as a birthday party". If the engine is being used in a limited track useage and primarily for the street environment would Mitch's statement hold true?
The block composition, lubrication, and cooling aspects of the R07 are intriguing as-well-as the extra revs but if the engine requires a rebuild every few miles, well, the LSX looks better and better.

Reviving an old thread but hoping for some input regarding use of a R07 road course engine in a restomod.
