I was going to go with a built motor turbo'd but i was thinking in my head it wouldnt be relaible.. so now i want to do an Ls7 swap. how much do you think it will cost me to custum fab everything...? is anyone familiar with this swap? all replys help thank you..:)

if you would read some of the threads it has been covered.

well im sorry mr. i was in a hurry today and i didnt have time to read or search or else i would i thought id get better responces through making my own quick thread.. i mean isnt that what a forum is for discussion?

ls7 meaning c6 z06 motor?


good luck.

FYI, a crate LS7 is $13k.

I would figure $10-$20 dollars if you are handy :lol

yes, that is waht a forum is for. but i dont see how getting other people to do your homework for you is any type of discussion.

P.S. why an ls7?

my friend has a crashed c6 z06 and he said he will sell me the motor for 2 thousand because he is parting the car out. and since im a friend he will give it to me for that cheap. plus i want to be different i guess...

Buy it, sell it, keep the profit for an LS1 swap...i don't think an LS7 swap has ever done and will be super super super expensive because of all the R&D that will have to go in it

If he sells you the LS7 for 2 grand, buy it and also pull the dry oil sump system. Call me when you buy it, and I'll buy it from you for $2500 and I'll give you my LS1. Deal?

well, if you have access to the LS7, then I say go for it. It wouldnt be much if any different than an LS2 swap.

What other R&D? The only difference in the installation would be the oil pan, oil tank, and lines. The LS7 and LS1/2/6 all have motor mount bolt pattern and spacing.

If you can get it that cheap, buy it. Then bug the hell out of Vorshlag until they get their kit done, then buy it too.

well how much for a full ls2 or ls1 swap and what would i be looking into as problems for the ls1/2?

Once you find the purple wire to hook up the VTEC it is pretty easy.....

VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!
:lol

FYI, a crate LS7 is $13k.

You can also build LS7 block 427s using a LS2 style wet sump with an aftermarket rotating assembly for less. The dry sump has had some promblems.

If it were me I'd build a LS2 block 402 or L92 block 415 with L92 heads and be over 500rwhp for less than the LS7.

What everyone else has said.........buy it, sell it...build something better. I vote LS2 + boost

yeah im thinking of just buying a ls1 with the money from that motor when i sell it and building the head, cams, tune, iuno the swap is going to cost me a lot becuase of all the custum fab.. i need to read up more on this because i really want it to happen i would just like as much advice with out stupid comments as possible.. but thanks for what you guys have told me so far..

thats funny from the guy who blows 2 motors in 6 days lolz did you get your sentra done yet..?

oh yeah and change your rides to sr20de+t

Wow, there are sure alot of dicks in this thread.

Personally, I would buy that engine and sell it in a heartbeat. You'll have a good 10g to play with for a nice turbo kit that will make your car a god.

And if not, do an ls1 swap!

Can you say 600whp? :redspot

i was already on the process of buying a turbo kit but after watching a friend blow up after a couple of days i changed my mind and want to go with a ls1.. built head cams all boltons and all parts will be cheaper than my parts anyways..

Better than most realize. GM VVT (Variable Valve Timing) on a Gen IV motor.
