My brother-in-law is parts manager at the local GM dealership. Right after the LS2's came out a guy came down with his Z and got one for $10,000. I am not sure what the labor cost was.

my ls6 was $5200 for the longblock. I hope gm sells the ls7 as a longblock also. Why do you need turn key for, if you have a ls1 car you have the harness, ecm, and accesories. I'll guess $8,000 longblock

A turn-key LS1 is what, $6000? So, you think it will be like $10,000 or $12,000?

longblock for ~9-10k, which is still a great deal. considering you'll get long-lasting titanium components that will outlast a good portion of the aftermarket if they build them right, as well as c5r-based heads included in that price. for 9-10k that'd still be a KILLER deal. swap the cam for larger and you're REALLY makin power....i'm gonna run a bigger cam in my 346 than this 427 is gonna come with stock.
