I got the engine from ebay missing many parts including a head and other bits . The engine originally came from Lister bit they claimed they had no parts left when I rang them so assume they have no complete engines either.

Oh ...sorry, NemesisC5 - not trying to hijack...it's a nice thread.

More cubes than LS2 and L92, then the stronger LS7 platform for my blower should make it a potent & reliable performer at around 800rwhp with torque #'s not to far behind. What's more to me is the "Fun Factor" of revving very quickly to 7.5k or maybe a little more if feasable. I love the sound of rpms and the mptor would have more than enough torque to tool around town in without having to rev. I will keep my 3.42 gearing and install a built MN6 with G-Force 5th & 6th gears. Defintely a combo that I plan to take to "The Texas Mile". This car is not being built for the 1320, but just for the "Fun Factor" with some road course driving events and an occasional trip to HRP(maybe twice a year). I have not even started buying the parts yet, just seeing what you guys think of this combo. Maybe by the time I start to build, the LS3 with be out and may be the block of choice, Dunno.

I have been to NHRA Nationals at HRP many times and you're right,Top Fuel is like dynamite exploding in the cylinders and you have to have uber strong internals to handle the power. Nitromethane is why they rev so quickly. Have you ever heard a Formula 1 Engine Rev to 20k rpm, IMO one of the best sounds in the world: short stroke, small bore, and lightweight internals. Top Fuel & F1 are both at the cutting edge of their respective classes & types of racing.

I'm just kicking around the idea to have a FUN combination, not to be the fastest on the street. Indeed if that were the case I would have the new LSX Stroked to the Max with N2o & a blower. I am not trying to start a debate on which type of engine is faster, I was merely asking about De-Stroked LS7's because I like the way they rev quick and IMO make a car fun to drive

(btw, this is 5W0P3 on CF)
