Default Killer LS7 deal

I have a chance of picking up an LS7 for 2200. I was wondering how much it would cost for me to swap into a 2000 Camaro. It's complete without the dry sump system.

Thanks

Gm High Perfromance Magazine followed this swap. I could not find a link to that article, but found another article about the same car. http://www.gmperformanceparts.com/Racing/ls7_camaro.jsp If it does not work google camro + LS7. I am interested in this swap for my 99. The guys at a GM Performance Parts stand at a recent car show told me they have a "kit" (has a GMPP part #) that includes the new throttle linkakge and eltronic gas pedal and etc.

Actually it is to good to be true. I found it through a friend that knows nothing about LS motors. Turns out it is a 2008 LS3 with 800 miles.
He got confused because the guy is running an LS7 and selling his LS3. LOL
Well It is a complete longblock minus injectors and fuel rail. I have everything else off of my LS1.

All I need is the Lingenfelter 58x to 24x conversion box.
Various Extension harnesses.
Retap the crank sensor.

Anything else I'm missing?

Thats still a killer deal for an LS3 motor dude. Buy that bitch up, cam it, and be done with it. You will need a cable tb. Why do you have to re-tap the crank sensor? All you need to do is run an extension harness to the front cam sensor, install your injectors/fuel rail, tap the holes for knock sensors and run extensions to those, and plug in your Lingenfelter converter box, then tune. TAKE IT.
