LS7 2002 Firehawk Below are a few photos of an LS7 swap we performed in a 2002 Firehawk Convertible. The owner wanted something that looked fairly stock when he opened the hood and had the drivability that he had when the car was stock.
A stock 2007 Z06 makes roughly 440-450 RWHP on our Dyno Jet. This car made 482 RWHP/463 RWTQ through an auto on the same dyno! Seems like it really liked the headers, exhaust, and tune!
The car and detailed story can be seen in the July/August issue of Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine.

how much would a swap like that cost?
What do you have to do to wire it up? Is everything custom wired?
That is what i would like to do one of these days, just would like to know all that is involved

Look at that torque curve. 
i understand he wanted something to look stock, but what a waste of money. for 1/4 of the cost he could have had a iron 427 or 408 and had full exhaust and everything and possibly made more power. and kept the "sleeper" look.
