If I recall correctly, the block should have 7.0 cast into it, rather than LS7.

EDIT: First off, ask to see an invoice or accompanying engine documentation. That will be the easiest way to get a little more comfort. Other than that you should obviously be looking for any other tell tale sign of an LS7. Insure it's cast aluminum, not iron. If it doesn't have manifolds/headers it should be the "D" style exhaust port, not the round you see on earlier LS motors.

If anything smells fishy, it probably is. If he's pushing you for a hard sale, walk away. Gather your research and post back here if you're unsure. You've got a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips.
