try to get a complete pullout or the little parts not only add up... they take a lot of time to source.

An LS2 motor with upgraded cam/valvesprings, long tube headers, and a tune should make an easy 440rwhp+. Ported heads add 30-40rwhp. FAST intake another 15-20rwhp.

Cubic inches make power. It also costs a hell of a lot more

A built 427ci LS7 with WCCH ported heads/upgraded cam/ported intake and long tubes should make 550-575rwhp+ on pump gas. It would also have an additional 100rwtq over the LS2 simply because of cubes. Figure $12-14K to do one complete.

As they say... you gotta pay to play

Be prepaired to spend about $3,000 more than what you think. hahaha I'm doing a ls2 into my A body and did not expect some of the extra costs that come with it. example... Clutch kit $700, F-body shifter. Its easier to do it now than later... If your gonna have the ecu tuned you probably would like a cam in there to save money on later tuning. There is a ton of stuff im doing that isnt necessary but i figure once that motor goes in, its in for awhile.
