Default How much is involved in a LS7 swap?

I have a 68 Camaro and looking to do something different or maybe just sell. How much is involved in just swapping out the 350 for one of these? Trans ect...

You can make it as simple or as complicated as you want, but a big part of it depends on what you plan to re-use from your current setup.

Is your radiator up to par? Will you re-use your current transmission. Will you convert to hydraulic clutch? Will you modify the existing wiring harness or buy a new one? Do you already have EFI, or will you need to modify your existing tank/buy a new one, etc...

Yea it looks like a lot of work. I'm on the fence with keeping the car and upgrading the motor or sell and get another car all together...I'm all confused....

Most people that swap to LS motors are very happy with the results.

Hoping to finish up my LS3 swap this week (waiting to tie up loose ends and tune).

CANNOT WAIT! Been down since November.
