Looking for a stock ls3 or stock ls7 to build. Is there a big difference in the two. Budget is small concern. But would love have one if those in my ws6. Pm me if anything interesting.

Yea lots of differences

Ls7 4.125 bore 4" stroke ls7 specific parts and dry sump
Ls3 4.060 bore stock stroke, interchangeable parts and no dry sump

Looking for pros and cons... is ls7 worth the cost n trouble to build? Or should I go ls3?

Looking for pros and cons... is ls7 worth the cost n trouble to build? Or should I go ls3? I know a guy thats selling ls7 out of his 08 z06 for around 11..563rwhp.. good deal or should I get him go down

depends on what your gaols are. an ls3 can easily get you well beyond 500rwhp
and ls7 can get you beyond 600rwhp

both can go plenty more, but for a streetable n/a build those are some fairly general ideas

So woupd buying the ls7 complete 563 rwhp be worth 11, 000?

11k for a complete used motor?

You can build one for way cheaper!

Will you be adding boost to it at all?

Many shy away from the Ls7 for boost and that's when the Ls3 is preferred or a resleaved 5.3/Ls2 block is also preferred.

Give us a call when you have some free time. We can put together a package to meet your goals & you won't be using a stock rotating assembly!

We have about 40 short-blocks built & in stock right now so I bet we have a combo for ya!

Jason.. inbox me ur number. Il shoot ya a text. I rather go ls3 to me sounds like its better and no boost just na.. prolly go 427... with some spray

Youre not gonna get a 427 with an ls3 unless you go for the long stroke and I discourage that. Strokes longer than 4" tend to have skirt wear issues among other things.

A 4" stroke on a stock ls3 bore will give you a 416

ws6guy27

iTrader: (31)

Okay cool. Good news to know.. so 416 or 418 it is

Yeah Im going with a 416. Good luck!

Cant wait. I need sell my 383 ls6 to help fund this build

So aluminum ls2 or get a ls3?

litle88

iTrader: (20)

I say Ls3!

ls3 duh, you'd be stupid not to.

biggre bore, longer sleeves, better castings.

Only reason I ask.. is I heard u can sleeve a ls2 and get a 454. Idk.. I was going go ls3 anyways but didnt know if cost woukd b about same.. obviously ls3 make more power surely

Drive on street some.. go to strip on regular basis. When not working.

iTrader: (9)

you can sleeve any of the blocks to get a big bore, but a 454 im pretty sure is gonna require that extra long stroke

Dnt want anything that big.. 427 would be pretty good for me
