If you were aware of issues with that engine, why did you buy it?
It is well known the LS7 has issues with valves and connecting rods. Enough reason for me to not use that engine.
That said, with a new engine, you should be OK if you don't explore the limits of its capabilities.
Why did you buy it in the first place?
