Meant per year, not total. I think the LS7 was originally slated for about 6,000 Z06s per year. So a hand built, high cost LS7 replacement still needs some volume to justify the validation and development costs.

Anything that is sold with a gen V small block could use such an engine. Silverado SS. Escalade-V. Option on Corvettes. A last hurah for RWD Holdens. Crate engines.

Lots of possibilities. Not a ton of volume on each one, but add it up and its probably a worth while endeavour.
I wouldn't expect it to go in trucks any more than the LS7 did. If it's a low volume, hand built engine, whatever it is needs to handle the sticker price impact.
