ls7 cam in a ls1?

Hi guys, just curious if anyone has seen anyone use this? I know i need to change the front cover and all that.. not a big thing, what im wondering is how it will sound? and if it will make decent power?

And i know i would do better to buy a big aftermarket cam, BUT... i got this stuff for basically free

And just being a DD that i like to beat on some... figured why not try it out...

Thanks...

The LS7 Cam has a very wide lobe seperation. I was told this was for emissions.
I would suggest an aftermarket cam.

Yea, if your gonna spend the money on a cam swap at least get a little 224 cam. Otherwise you'll regret it later.
