To fit an LS7 inside of a 2002 Z28's bay? Instead of getting a new car, I was just planning on putting a new engine in my Z28, so I was planning on an LS7 if it 427 ci would fit in my car.

No idea, but seems like a good idea if it works.

I wonder...

lol @ other thread with exact same Title.... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12749
Confused me for a minute there ...

Haha, my bad, I didn't mean for that to happen. Yeah, I know I'll be pumped if I can get it done. An LS7 is cheaper than a V6 5th gen, and it'll roast the V6, and likely roast a stock V8 = D.

MrCool · 02-03-2009, 07:36 PM

Where does the link you posted talk about putting an LS7 in a Fourth Gen camaro?!?!?

MustangKillr · 02-03-2009, 07:45 PM

He's talking about how we both have the same topic title, don't worry about it, it was off topic anyway.

MrCool · 02-03-2009, 07:53 PM

Googled it:
Here and here.

MrCool · 02-03-2009, 07:57 PM

Here too.

Wow thanks dude! Well I guess that I'm going to do it then = D! I'm not going to go as in depth as Katech did with their LS7 SS, I'll probably just do an engine drop. What all will I need? Can I just lift the old engine out and drop the new one in? Oh yeah, and how much do you think my LS1 would sell for with 133,000 miles on it?

i dont know what its worth, but pm me if you end up selling it

MustangKillr · 02-03-2009, 11:16 PM

Well, I'll definitely end up selling it, it's just a matter of time my friend ; ).

Awsome, i'm putting a 427 in my Camaro Z28 model....I'll make sure to get results.

MustangKillr · 02-04-2009, 01:28 AM

Really? That's awesome dude, good luck, let me know how it comes out

. I looked up some price ranges for my LS1 and I've seen them go anywhere from $3,500 to $6,871. I'm willing to sell mine for $3,000. If any of you are interested, PM me. All proceedings will go towards getting that luscious LS7 in my Z28
