The LS7 was not designed to go on a LS1 or 5.3L... It requires wayyy higher flow rate (it needs LS7 heads) and it also needs the raised runner intake port design... Why use the LS7 cam? Why not get something that you know will work well without having to replace a bunch of parts?
I would not be surprised if the cam doesn't have a pickup on the rear of the cam for the sensor. It's probably at the front of the engine like the LS2. Not sure but I would think it was.
I was just curious. I wasn't looking to do this, but I wasn't sure what all is interchangeable between the engines.
