Default LS7 coils ?

Is there any difference in a set of 02 truck coils and LS7 coils?

I have heard of people using the coils from a truck motor. I figure they must be some what better so I would imagine the LS7 units would be better.

Well, I am thinking about building a 427 for my 67 camaro and I already have the truck coils. I was originally building a LS1 for the car, but am scrapping that project in favor of the 427. I was asking to see if there really was any difference in them. If there really isn`t then I could save a few bucks in that area. I have heard they truck coils do have a hotter spark than the regular LS1 coils, so based on that information I would say they are just as good as the MSD coils. Don`t hold me to that though. That is just hearsay that I have received.
