Well to start off, I'll let everyone know that I am number 31, backorder for the LS7 crate engine. From what I have been told, the crate motors could be out in a month, 3 months or maybe six months. Either way, I need time to get all the info I need for the swap. I do know, and have heard the same so far that, as long as I add all the smog of the Corvette I will be alright. I know somebody here has more info for me on engine swaps. I am putting this motor into a 1996 Chevt Tahoe. Anyone following the project, I'm thinking about an, Allison Transmission, and IRS
Kool swap. I have a 454 we can switch to fuel injection and I can easily get another 100 hp out of her with a bigger cam and 1.8 rockers. Be a bit heavier but I can save you about 5 grand or more.

The 80E bolts on although you might want to beef her up a little. Stick a GearVendor on the back and really get interesting.
