The flywheel and the clutch are included with the crate engine. The throttle body is also included.

yeah i think the thing that it doesnt come with.. is the dry sump tank and lines for it. If you choose to go with the dry sump system.. you'll need to relocate your battery and such...
there is a link on this board, Katech put an LS7 in an Fbody.. took some work as well. search for it.. is relatively new

the motor mount brackets and ex manifolds also come with it. lots of aftermarket dry sump tanks available.(good selection at speedway motors) use hose lines from local hose supplier.(1/5 the price and custom fit)
need an AN conversion fitting to attach lines to oil pan. wheel 2 wheel have them and i think street and performance. presently on ebay is a ls7 engine from fred beans parts, buy it now price for 12,395. good luck.

it's a place that makes a new front subframe for 1st gen camaros, it's not detroid engineering, but another place, and all i can remember is that the subframe was yellow

Hey man, I work at a Chevrolet dealership as the performance parts guy. If you have any more unanswered questions, I can call GM's Performance Division to get some concrete answers. Also, and just as important, I can even see if I can beat Beans price on the crate motor. I'll try to get that on here tomorrow.
