OK - perhaps this will help you to get where we're coming from.
You can pull the LS3 out of your Camaro - and you can 'drop' the LS7 in.........
It will sit there and it will not run - because there are not electronics to make it run. There is much more to pulling an engine (today) and putting another in - it's no longer 'plug and play' -- the COSTS to do the software and hardware changes are substantial - both in terms of personnel costs and that of tooling. Good example: getting proper 'throttle tip-in' costs a fortune alone - and requires thousands of hours of testing -
I hope that makes more sense to you.
