Nice job!. I have a ls7 for my Camaro. I acquired the motor in pieces and rebuilt it back to stock. I have everything to put it in now but I would like to see my ls6 hit the 10's first.......then look out

OP, I'm curious, what did the engine sleeveing & machining work cost?
While this is certainly a great build and install, it was made up from a re-sleeved LS1 block, LS7 heads and intake. I'm not sure if calling it a "LS7" is all that accurate. A LS7 block is very different compared to a LS1 block.
A actual LS7 block can be had for about $2,700.00
LS7 heads can be had for $3,000.00.
Rotating assembly for 427, $2,600.00.
LS7 intake with rails & injectors, $830.00.
Figure another 3 grand for valvetrain, covers, machining, fasteners, etc.
This is just over 12 grand.
OR (like HUGG said) for 13 grand, a complete built LS7 engine can be bought.

You might want to send him a PM. This thread is 3 years old!
It's a nice car for sure.
I just meant at first glance. Walking down a row of fbody's with the hoods popped, it wouldn't look much different from a glance walking by. It's not like a car with a supercharger, a billion nitrous lines, or even an aftermarket intake. It's stealthy and looks factory.
I think you should get the new 104mm lid and maf from Fast toys performance... I think you would gain some hp.

I only listed the cost of stuff because I thought the OP went through a lot of effort to get a LS1 block to LS7 status. For a little bit more money, he coulda had the LS7 crate motor without all the hassle. AND, I do believe the LS7 block has some other goodies that make it a better block than the LS1 version. I'm pretty sure GM crate engines come with a warranty too.
I do subscribe to the notion that "there's no replacement for displacement". I'm considering a 582 or 595 low deck big block for the Monte....

I know the LS7's have billet caps don't know what else. If you have ERL wet sleeve a LS1 it comes with billet caps with ARP studs for standard.
Are the GM crates just stock or slightly hotter than stock?
IN the future I can't decide between a C5 Z06 or an older car like a Chevelle or Nova 2
With the new fuel injection controllers out now, I would heavily consider a tall deck or stroker short deck
But.... those days are a ways away

A LS7 crate engine is exactly as it comes in the ZO6.
The block has different breathing windows so air can flow through the block better.
I'm pretty sure it's stronger in some way.
