this isn't a fake post is it?...... just for the record i think your trying to say "crank" not "carank". just one of many corrections needed.

If its a gen 3 iron block im pretty sure its not going to work and im gonna say that even with a gen 4 it wont work, not positive though. Getting the engine balanced isnt crucial and I dont know what rbm is

The iron block is a gen 3 your crank is a gen 4 with a 58x reluctor wheel. I dont think it will work. I dont know much about the LS7 but im pretty sure its pistons, crank and rods are going to need an ls7 block to function.

Did you measure it up? The LS7 crank should have a larger bore diameter than the block which is why it wont work. You could bore the block and if you used the LS7 crank, rods, and bearings, it might work.

You have to change the reluctor wheel to a 24 tooth in order for it to work with your ECU. The LS7 crank isnt anything special. It does have a longer snout and that will need to be milled down. If I were you I would just use an aftermarket crank, LS7 rods and pistons to whatever bore you specify.
