I have had this sent to me by at least 5 people. I have yet to see an article with a price tag. I assume this is the same engine he is stuffing into an extige and charging over a million for, so I would assume this will be priced close to that? ---

I’m actually surprised it is using the LS7, IIRC it had much thinner cylinder walls than other LS varieties. ---

> [@Z28pr0jekt](#): > > I’m actually surprised it is using the LS7, IIRC it had much thinner cylinder walls than other LS varieties. I’m guessing the add is probably wrong. Their site says its a 427 aluminium V8. I’m hoping its a reinforced sleeved Ls3 or something of that nature. [http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/cts-v1000-coupe.html](http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/cts-v1000-coupe.html) Also, if they even sell the 12 I guarantee that if you ask for one he’ll make another for you.
