Will Z06 LS7 engine fit 01 WS6? Can the LS7 drop into my 01 TA? What needs to change, besides clutch and flywheel? My t-56 ok? Driveshaft? Rearend?
Could get a good deal on this if it fits.
Thx for any info...any links would be appreciated.

also the reluctor wheel or w/e its called is different on the ls7. so the electronics or the wheel would have to be changed... idk if its availible to do it electornically. i think i saw the ls7 for 13k from somewhere i forget where... but pretty d#$@ pricey for a factory ls7 if you ask me.

Well, you do make a good point.....Options are endless.....But yes, a new rear would be in the picture, as well as a good clutch.
Now where did I plant that money tree again.....

Katech did it.. definatly not worth the money, but it's something to do I guess. I believe in the thread in the ls2/7 category said if you drop off an fbody and give them 60k you can get the same thing done to your car. That also included mods like suspension and etc.

Katech said they did it mainly just to show what they do, and price to them wasn't near what it would be to a customer. A lot of the parts were donated/sponsored, all of their labor was free on the car (duh
), and etc. Could you build a faster LS1 for that? Yeah probably.. but the prestige of an LS7 is unmatched

If you were to get yourself a 402 stroker, not only could you have it in your car for about $12,000-14,000 total, but you'd also have more HP and TQ than the LS7. When you do the math, and work the numbers, you can see why more peopole aren't dropping LS7's in. There is no reason to, other than prestige, when you can have more power for less money.
