So I just got done with Lq4 turbo build in my 01 Silverado and because of the long project I picked up a 2010 Camaro SS with the L99 this last summer. The truck is pretty much done and started looking around for superchargers for the camaro and ran across a deal on a LS7 out of a 08 Z06 for a good price.
I got the LS7 for under $6000 and am trying to weigh Pros and cons on if swap is the way to go. My L99 I was thinking was worth about $4500 to offset Ls7 cost.
Other option is sell Ls7, L99 and buy lsx block and build something for boost.
All ideas welcome and Im sure alot more that needs to be done to make this swap work with ls7.
Come to find out thats why for sale but got for $2700 or engine shop will rebuild for $1800. I think im almost better to pay shop $1800 to repair this first.
Gonna just replace the one, of have the whole block sleeved?
Not sure as we are having it shipped to my engine shop to see damage. I started to look for sleeve options if the whole block was to be sleeved. Any After market benefits out there in new sleeves?
The rods seem to be expensive as it does have the titanium rods. See a set selling for $1500.
If I can rebuild and sell and get a LSX block I would rather have that block. So first step is getting it to me and see damage.
The benefit of Darton or ERL sleeves is that they're stronger and thicker at any bore size. Darton does make single replacement sleeves for the LS7. IIRC they're like 100 per sleeve.
