I just found out LS2 and LS7 crate engines will be available this fall.

Any guess as to how much green they'll be?

I know the LS6 was $8000.

I can see the LS7 being $10,000 or higher easily.

The girlfriend says 15k for a LS7 motor she thinks...My guess would be very similar...They wont be cheap but they will be VERY worth it!!!

$22-25,000 is my guess.

The ZL1 Ram Jet 454 crate motor was $20,000 last year!

You can get a complete LS2 for $5000. I would think the LS7 in the $9000 range.

There is no way the crate version will be under 10K....Hand Built, Different block, Dry sump(at least in Z06 form)...,Titanium components, and a whole lot more race program technology in that one... They will charge more because people will be climbing over one another to get it....15-20K

I agree, 20K, the Z06 is what a 20-30K upgrade over the stock vette, which most changes are motor related, correct.

Actually, the Z06 is far different from its brethren. Unique parts include an Aluminum chassis, magnesium cradle, carbon fiber fenders and hood, 3" flared quarter panels, HUGE brakes, specific exhaust etc etc...There are quite a few differences, they may look similar on the outside, but underneath, it is pure performance at its best....So Stuart, you have your order in yet?
