Hello!

What are the major differences between LS1 vs LS7 , and i am only talking external differences for mock up use. I have LS1 engine and can i trial fit headers , intake , wirings , assesorys,engine mounts with it ?

I know the oilpan is different. I am planning to bay one as used to make oil lines in future.Does it bolt right on LS1 ?

Yep, everything else will bolt up - trans, headers, etc. The exhaust ports are different on an LS7, but LS1 headers will still bolt up.

Not to highjack....but what about an LS2 and an LS7?

Thanks Scott!!! Great news , now i can do all the fabbing first and get the engine last.

I'm not sure about the water pump, though. Anyone know if they are signicantly different?

EDIT: The water pumps are basically the same with a slight difference in the intake manifold area for clearancing.

What are you doing for accessory drive? That's my current research project.
