LS7 for $500? BULL.

LMAO... I found this to be most hilarious. I was all into it thinking "What does diving have to do with LS7's and 305's?".. Nice one.

An LS7 block is probably worth more than an IROC in "ok" shape.. But even a block for 500$ is a good deal if he can get it .. I'm guessing no rotating assembly or anything? That's a big huge job and it might be better to find a wrecked Z06 parting out with the whole engine from intake to oil pan + ECM and other little parts that you could use.. Or better yet, a wrecked SS Camaro and get all the LS3 + T56 stuff from that.. When I have the $$$ that's what I will be doing.

The LS7 is strong, reliable, powerful, etc. but not worth the money when you consider $ per HP that it costs.

But this probably is just a hypothetical engine swap thread.
