I also just ordered one for a project we are working on, I think the descission comes down to what you are going to do with he car, I see no advantage of using a LS7 over this motor, the LS7 will cost you 3-4 k more by the time you find an oil pan that will work , and buy all the drysump stuff needed to have 20 less HP???
We are also looking at building a motor fo our other project, but we want 650-680 NA Hp we are actually looking at starting with the LS7 bare block,to cet the larger bore with out sleeving the block L92 CNC ported heads and a 441 stroker . but on the LS7 block we will NOT use the dry sump oil pump just the standard pump and front cover.this will end up being about a 10k combination.
