PHR Tears down an LS7!

-Adam, wondering if I can put an LS7 in my Bimmer, Bruce

Oh my god!!!

You know it'll fit. Will it fit in the budget?

Imagine a low comp forged piston swap and some form of f/i

Honestly that engine is fucking insane, Its a stock Superstroker package that will idle good, drive around town perfectly, and still have a 36000 mile warranty. I know my next big build will have something to do with this motor.

I just want to know how much the heads and intake will cost :) A .591 lift cam and 360cfm heads from the factory is insane!

Wow - great article and a nice find, Adam. That's the first time I've seen the cam duration numbers too. This is going to be a special motor no doubt.

-Joe, saving my pennies (and anything else that comes my way :) )...

Awesome. Great read! :thumb:

Those heads look like C5R heads

Could be wrong, but they look like ported C5R heads. I believe the C5R has the same 12 degree valve angle, same size valves, yet flows 340cfm as opposed to the claimed 360cfm of the LS7.

Nice find!

Good Lord... :eek2:

Looks like I'll have to just go ahead and sell my car and give up. I ain't going to take lightly to being beat by 500-550rwhp headers/cam z06's.. lol. Especially when they are walking away sprayin a 150-200 shot.

Peace,
Josh

theat crasy those thigns have 12 degree cylinder heads so they wouldnt work on the ls1 and ls6 since they are 15" heads but i'll tkae one with a bigger cam ans a little bottle

I guess this means the LS7 intake won't work on the rest of the LSx line? :(
