Am I missing something, in my books there is a lot more going for an LS7 than just the cubes and HP. So even if you build another engine up to the same HP and/or cubes, it does not equal an LS7.
Plus an LS7 has a lot of potential for more HP with tuning etc.
So I can understand going with say an L76 & doing cam etc or going with an LS3 with a tune. Or the more extreme strokers. But you are getting closer to LS7 price range and wouldn't you be better off just buying an LS7 and be done with it.
Plus you have a compliant engine choice. I can get over 500HP out of an LS7 and still be emissions and noise compliant.
What about reliability? I wonder how reliable the different options are?
Educate me fellas, I'm only new to the darkside.
