LM7 build, first LS swap attempt. I picked up an LM7 over the weekend and now I want to build something fun but really don’t know where to start. I have a horsepower goal in mind (~550-600, maybe a little more) but that’s about it. I don’t really have a set budget or timeframe on completion and I’m open to suggestions/help figuring out what it’ll take to get it there. I did a lot of reading on here before I registered an account but still have a lot I need to learn.

What are you going to do with it?
Maybe just a TBSS (Trailblazer SS) intake manifold, a set of 243 heads with a bowl blend and multiangle valve job, and a good cam plus a decent exhaust will get you where you want. Won't cost much either compared to more sophisticated setups.
Or you could just find a good single turbo setup. But then you might need to gap the rings....
