This could be used for a cool project…

:tup:
midmount in an AWD aerostar 
thats just screaming for a dual quad intake and a pair of vortech s/c’s
The only thing “screaming” with that combo will be the internals when they come “screaming” out of the side of the block.
rods are good pistons aren’t the best … and that’s a little more than you can find it for … best price i found was high 12’s
I can get em cheaper than that. Maybe mid to low 11’s. Still at 12k it is a deal
LOL at the stupid Dan comment
great motor, but you can go faster for $14k
X2
or buy a regular vette…pop that in there…sell the new engine and ahve a super snky vette at a fraction of the pricee
yea, but swapping that into a car will bring you the kind of prestige that only a cobra would earn you before
holy shit.
the prestigious mustang cobra.
that was a great thread.
I wouldn’t bother with the project myself, just thought it was cool that you could buy the motor, although expensive. Cool just to have the ls7 in your car amybe. I havnt really read up on the ls7 motor much yet, is it a decently engineered motor?
Too bad the Z06 has an aluminum frame, better brakes, stronger tranny, rear end and axles, better wheels and tires, etc. The Z06 is actually a good deal for what you get even compared to the regular C6. the Z06 is more car then just the motor. + a warranty doesnt suck.
it would be hootie mcboob in a C3 fastback :snky:
that would be interesting to see in a FD 
not only faster but build a better motor all around … it’s all about know how
If I had 14k i’d have to pass on that.
A good starting point would be this…
ding ding ding!
14k is definatley not worth that motor. Yeah, it would be cool to say that “I have the LS7 in my ride” but thats about it. For 14k, you can buy a motor, forge everything, SC it and have a bullet proof combo. Stock LS7 is nice, but realisticlly not much can be done to it besides heads and cam…and if anything else needs to eb done, tear it down and rebuild anyways which obviously would cost around 20k afte set and done. Just my opinion.
