The GM C5-R block is $6K if that makes you feel better
This LS7 combo is amazingly priced, stuff like this would have been $10K only 5-6 years ago.

Note: Pricing is not that bad on them either. We will have them for around $760.00 a set.

what all would be needed to drop this in a c5 z06? say someone has the ls7 shortblock, gets a pair of ls7 heads(btw, do you guys have those yet?), ls7 intake & TB. i'm talking engine mounts, oil pan, engine accessories & misc like oil pump, water pump, thermostat, and so on

This is a killer deal for a 427 shortblock. Granted, it's not cheap, but no Gen III/IV 427 is cheap. Another thing to consider is SDPC engines are built by a machine shop owned by SPDC who builds Pro Stock motors. They know how to build motors. If I'm wrong about that SDPC can correct me, but when I bought my LS2 402 from them in Jan-05 that's what Kris Jones told me.
