I chose a Darton resleaved 454 LS7 by steve at R.E.D. you CAN have your cake and eat it too. I didn't want the extra weight in the nose and it wouldn't be force fed, so the iron LSX was not a good option. combine this with a 1620gram bob weight per coated piston/rod assembly and this baby should spin nicely.

Looking at converting my f-body pullout ls1/t56 swapped car to a ls7 short block.
From what ive read everything will bolt up from my ls1 mostly.
Oil pan.
accessories or no?
Have to swap reluctor wheel to 24x but thats possible for not too much, right?
i have a set of TF 225 cnc heads in storage. While they may not be the best heads for a 427 will that fit properly?
TIA
