You've never seen one because generally the ls7 usually costs more than the camaro/firebird your putting it into and they are very expensive but fine pieces of work.

but it can be done yes? the ls7 swap.

I'd keep it close to stock since even the power of that awesome motor is enough. You guys dont have any links to LS swaps other then 1, like 6 or something?

LS1 and LS7 are the same in the same ways that a 305 and 383 are the same. Externally, they are the same, so they will bolt in the same. Its the internals that are the difference between LS1 and LS7.

Not necessarily.

This give a good idea of what it could be. I've yet to see one in a thirdgen. I'm waiting for kandied to put one in one of his cars.
