Default Can a Gen4 6.0L engine be fitted for an LS7 front accessory drive

That’s it. Why……To run the new LS7 Magnuson TVS 2650-R SC’er unit?

I know I can use LS7 heads I just need to know if the front drive can be done and how hard/expensive is it to do?

The FEAD (accessory drive) has no idea what LS it’s bolted to. It will bolt up no problem. What have you done to make the LS7 heads work? I’ve done this…I’m curious what you’ve done.

Ok so is there a kit I can but that contains everything needed?

I haven’t converted yet. But to run the Magnuson 2650 designed for the LS7 I will need to convert to rectangular port, at least that’s how I understand it.

This one. It says it needs the LS7 drive system.

Wait a minute……I can’t use LS7 heads with a 4.030” bore. Could I use the LS7 FEAD and use any LS3 type head to accommodate my bore size?

Actually this is supposed to be the highest HP potential…….Magnuson TVS2650-R.

But Magnuson sucks at replying to emails.
