Default ls7 block

So the LS& is supposed to be the same dimensions of the LS1/LS2/LS6.... would those main cap girdles fit the factroy LS7 block ? as far as i can tell that would be the weak spot in the factroy block other than the cylinders for boost. but keeping those main caps straigh would help dramatically. I know world is making awsome blaocks and I have done alot of research but i havent been able to find out if those darn girddles will fit the new ls7 blocks thats all... just an alternative and maybe keep the factory built engines going longer...

Default Ls7

The inner bolts on the main caps are spaced further apart on the LS7 block. So you would either have to slot the holes in the girdle or have one made to fit.

Cap height is the same as on other LS blocks.

The bottom end on the LS engines is pretty strong regardless.
