Well I have an LS7 motor I plan to put in my 02 SS, and add my D1SC procharger in there along with it. This will be a track car, but legal for the street as well. I got the motor for free from my dad's buddy YEA I GOT LUCKY but I have a few questions.

I'm ordering wiesco pistons, lunati rods, and ARP studs and bearings running 9.5.1 compression. My question is will the stock forged crank hold up???

Also, should I run meth on this car??? Upgrade the blower???

I am getting a FMIC as well, to answer that question.

Has anyone ever done this before??? Any advice???

Thanks, Chase at HMP-TV

i have read that they should be resleaved for high hp applications. i would talk to bob at epp about the blower and fmic.

You are going to need more blower than a D-1SC for the LS7 engine. How much boost are you planning on running? Bob

This should be pretty sick.

leave the titanium rods, run an F1 blower, and the stock crank will be fine.

Well, the motor is going to MTI somtime in early early september. I plan on leaving the stock crank in it, ordering wiesco pistons, callies rods, and arp studs new bearings, etc . I also plan to get a front mount of course , and upgrade the blower, but Coates told me the D1SC would be ok for now. I have to buy and H/C setup as well and the conversion kit. Bob can you help me out with what I should do ???

I have a hard time believing anyone would give away a motor like this, but if you did somehow get a free LS7 why would you replace ultra strong, ultra light titanium connecting rods that come stock in LS7's for heavier, weaker rods? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

The motor has been under water... I called david at MTI and he told me the motor will be ok becuase they are going to look into it and it will be remachined, and I want everything in the motor to be new, so I am going this route.

Sounds badass! I would think the D-1SC would work but the F1 would be a better choice.

I think ur crazy to use a D1 on a 427. D1's can make good power on a 346 but a 427 moves ALOT of air. Why wouldnt u jsut get a F1? GL man. Lucky ****

I think he is using the D-1sc because he already owns one.

That's gonna be a badass car.

I think that you'll be happy with the results, but agree with the "F1 vs. D1" comments. We've just started playing with an F1C on my C5R-based 427, and with no methanol and a fat tune, made 773 RWHP at only 8 pounds of boost. I'd guess that by adding meth and going to 14-15 pounds, 900+ at the wheels is reachable.
