Im going to pick up a 07 LS7 block tonight from the machine shop, Now the engine researching begins, 500-600 hp is what Im aiming for, I'll be happy with 475 RWHP... I say that but Id rather over build it then under build.

If anyone has any spare LS7 parts laying around please let me know.

Thanks Kirk

You goals will be easy with that motor.

The oil pan might be a challenge if your putting it in a first gen.

Will it be using the dry sump system? You could always buy a LS3 stroker crank to keep the cubes at 427 and then it would have the shorter crank snout. Then the motor can be ran in wet sump form. Then pan options are opened up.

Daytonayellz..... Thanks, Im new to the LS stuff so if there is a forum or book that you can point me to. I've been hanging out at LS1 Tech looking for parts

This is the info Im looking for. I want to run a wet sump. When I bought the motor, I got 799 heads, a crank from a 6.0. rods pistons, water pump, timming cover,

How much of this can I use?
