Not sure what the cost of this package would be, lets say $10k... assuming you can do the swap yourself, pull the stock LS3 out and sell it for $4k at least, right? You're looking at a net cost of about $6k.... not bad.

thats a complete waste of money, why not take the 6k and mod the ls3 thats already in it??? you could get headers, full exhaust, heads, cam, intake, nitrous, rear gears and a tune for 6k and its made for the car..... you spend 6k to put in the ls7 but now its stock..... and i doubt you will be able to just drop it in the without running into some problems and having to work those problems out but even if it was just a easy throw in and bolt up situation it still wouldnt hang with a ls3 that has 6k of mods done to it.....

Nice idea, but your numbers are a little off. Scoggin-Dickey sells a stock LS7 crate engine for $14,195.00 so if you could sell your LS3 for $4,000 it would still cost over $10,000 to do the swap and you would completely void your new car warranty. If GM builds the Z28 with either the LS7 or the LSA it will come with a full factory warranty. I don't care if it has an LS7 or an LSA as long as I can get it with the wheels from the SEMA car.
