lol. come on, search? are you serious about it at all? its not cheap at all for an ls7 just an fyi. try searching. but you need mounts,wiring, all sorts of shit. and well lots of fabrication skills

 

the ls7 it self will cost more then the some of the rest of the parts, including the car.


and hinson super cars sells a kit, but check out silviav8.com for more info.

 

hahaha hinson is a huge rip off. but hey if you cant make your own mounts and have the cash money. then w/e go threw them

 

i agree totally, thats why i said check out silviav8.com first.

 

word thats the link in my profile just an fyi. and for harness you can have speartech do it. honestly tho right meow the best bet is using universal mounts and fabbing up a mount to the x-member. or theres talk of a complete custom subframe

 

im member number 16 there :moon

 

Well I can actually see the benefit of Hinsion. If you want you can get everything there. Mounts, wiring, driveshaft, clutch line, ect... Not everyone has the skills needed to fab up mounts and re-wire a car. The LS7 though is going to be a reach. At $13,000 for just the motor you're going to need some serious monies...

 

im 11! ha...ha word. back on topic.......... any other q's?

 

your like 68. i looked. yeah im that bored/loser/....

 

nah son not in post count

 

f post count.

im a lurker at heart.

 

Regardless of custom mounts, wiring, piping, etc. -- good luck finding an ls7. Even an ls2 is difficult to get your hands on still....

 

actually its pretty easy. go to a junkyard find a scrapped vette and you can find a pretty decent ls7 there. i found one with only 55k miles on it and it was only 6k

 

Keep your LS7 out of 240's, they run fine with their designated motor.

 

you do realize this statement makes no sense at all. The LS7 is a motor, and you say it should stay in it's motor?


As I stated you can get a complete LS7 for less than $15,000. The motor alone is $12,995 from summit if you look. However for the money I think I would just find a ls1 and buy one of the 427 stroker kits and go that route if you want a 427(LS7) so badly. Something else that GM just released that is also up for consideration is the new LSX block. You can make a 511Ci small block. That would be insane in a S-chassis for sure...

 

ls7's cost about 20k. ls1's can be found for 2500 if LUCKY. ls7's a 7 liter and has a dry sump. ls1's come in 5.3 6.0 5.7 etc

 

all these motors are the same series sorta. parts are interchangeable for the most part between all but the ls7. i think they are working on that though, my info may be a little out of date.

ls1 is 5.7
ls2 is 6.0
ls6 is 5.7 z06 motor
ls7 is 7.0 z06 motor
lq series is 4.8(iron or aluminum block),5.3 (iron or aluminum block), or 6.0 (iron or aluminum block)

there is a new 6.6, but i think thats not the same series, i think its considered a big block.

ps, i like american muscle too.

 

yep. it has the odb2 port and everything when you do the swap. and its legal too since its an engine from the same or newer year car

 

thats depends on where you live.
in some areas you can not swap in a motor with more cylinders then the car was available from teh factory with.

example, you can legally put a ls1 in a v6 camaro, cuase it was available stock.

but a 240 was only available with a 4, so you cant even put in a 6.

depends on where you live and how strict they are. sometimes you can get special approval.

 

God damn, I didn't even consider it because I didn't imagine it would be OBD-II compliant. ><. Think how badass a S/C-ed or tt LS1 S14 would be lol.

 

mike peters has a s/c'd ls1 its um scary

edit: for some reason i dont think its mike peters, might have the name wrong but w/e

 

They was referring to the 240. I meant keep your LS7 out of a 240sx because 240sx's run fine with a ka24de.

 

wait. so no one should ever make hybrids or have motor swaps, because the STOCK in the car runs fine... LAME

 

why wouldnt someone just go with a 3400 or a 3800, v6' and can be boosted uber easy and very good hp/tq numbers

 

3.8 GM motors are based on the 3.8 liter buick block. capable of some great numbers, but they have been known to have oiling problems.

 

someone needs to shove a 572 in a 240....mmm 9.2 litres of goodness!

 

I have a lt1 im putting in my 240. Just got to get the internals and assemble it. And pick out a tranny. it will make 350hp to the wheels, and about an estimated 400lb ft of torque. Not too bad considering i picked up the block for 75 bucks, vortec heads for 100, and forged internals for 230. oh and the t10 tranny was only 350 for a rebuilt one. Thats under 800 for the powertrain and its balls fast

 

I think hybrids are cool I just don't like cross-manufacturer swaps, maybe I should have specified for you.

 

actually i already have an ls7 motor pretty much brand new i pulled it of and brand new crashed corvette thats why im asking its pretty much the whole front clip. my uncle spunn out and spilt the car pretty much in half. the car still started up but the back is gone lol

 

so let me get this straight.

your uncle went out and bought a brand new z06 for $60k+.
he crashed it to the point where its totalled. the insurance company didnt take it, so i guess he paid in full for it and didnt have full coverage, or he did the buy out, which is still gonna be loot.
now hes giving?

does he not like you?

cause i know if i spent 60k on a car, and i crashed it like that and almost died, i would not give the engine to my nephew. not to mention the monetary problems with your story.

 

nope horrible idea...sell it to me

 

You'll need an LS7 and an S13. Anything else you need me to hold your hand through?

 

Hey Check out www.hinsonsupercars.com They have kits for s13's and s14's and RX-7'S to drop in LS6 AND 7 motors. I considered it because I work at a Cadi dealership and we often pull LS7 motors from CTS-V's that customers want to replace with mail order strocker motors and other customers blow the motors and don't have the mone to fix them go figure you buy a $65,000 toy and then can't afford to repair it cause warranty won't cover it. Well I hope that web site helps.!!!
